{ marissa + chad }

I've known this great couple for over a year...and was so happy to be apart of this wedding. The groom cannot stop making people laugh and therefore Marissa always has a smile on her face ;-) They are a super fun happy couple and I loved helping plan this wedding. Take a peek at some shots from my dear friend and fav photographer of all times!

{ andrea + jeff }

LOVED this couple! Andrea and Jeff were the sweetest, most thoughtful couple. This gorgeous wedding took place outside at Paradise Point in San Diego overlooking the water. The couple left no detail behind! Sailboats and starfish were intertwined everywhere...from the frosted sailboat, shells and starfish sugar cookies in apothecary jars, too the escort card table with names attached to decorated starfish. Large decanters of different flavored lemonades for guests to enjoy...a wishing tree for guests to write a note for the couple to put on their first Christmas tree. It was a beautiful wedding and I feel so fortunate to have met this family...thank you Andrea and Jeff for including me in your special day! xoxo

{ caitlin + mark }

For only meeting Caitlin over the phone 6 weeks before her wedding, we hit it off instantly and was able to get going coordinating her wedding from NYC! With the help from my assistant Elizabeth, we planned and coordinated the best day for Caitlin and Mark. Guests dined under the stars on the terrace of L'Auberge, overlooking the ocean as the sun set during their cocktail hour... then were led by the saxophonist of the band after dinner into the Ballroom for dancing. There was a chocolate fountain, candy bar table and then a few slices of late night pizza was brought in for all. Everyone enjoyed themselves, especially Caitlin & Mark!

{ heidi + mike }

Heidi and Mike were a ball to work with, always joking around and never taking anything too seriously. Truly a fun couple who enjoyed every minute of their wedding despite the one hiccup...the make-up gal running 3 hours late (but made it just in the nick of time to get Heidi all dolled up and beautiful for her special day).

Photographs were from the amazing and talented Jaclyn + Nate Kaiser with The Image is Found Photography. They are just best and I love their work! Florals were from my friend, who I adore working with, Annette Gomez of Flowers by Annette.

Exquisite Weddings Magazine in San Diego

My first published wedding!!! Exquisite Weddings has a full 3 pages on the real wedding of Stephanie and Kevin Ross that I helped coordinate at the Lodge at Torrey Pines last summer. Take a peak and read more about it if you pick up a copy! Borders carries them and so do many venues, hotels, dress shops and paper stores will carry the new Fall magazine for brides to view. Thanks to my beautiful couple...who now have a baby and celebrated their 1 yr Anniversary! Special thanks too to Heather Moreau who helped get this published with her amazing photographic skills!! I love it!

{ kim + jeff }

The photos are finally in...thanks so much Bil Zelman! What a gorgeous wedding at the historic El Cortez in downtown San Diego. The best florist in San Diego created all the florals and centerpieces, Annette Gomez with Flowers by Annette. The food was catered by Pamplemousse Grill with a yummy dessert bar! Yes, I snuck a bit of the creme brulee. While the music and entertainment throughout the whole wedding was performed by the ever popular Dwight Kennedy Band. The bride was beautiful thanks to her make-up artist Tess Hildsheim. Thank you Kim & Jeff for a spectacular unforgettable wedding day!!
