Whitney and Tyler’s Wedding

Whitney and Tyler were a fun couple.  She was a referral from Ceremony Magazine.  Whitney got ready at her family home in Poway and Tyler was at The Marriott Marina.  The ceremony was at La Jolla Presbyterian… they are super strict with photographers.  The reception was at The Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.  It was a crazy day with five locations but I always have fun no matter what.  Whitney is royalty.  Her grandfather is Sir Jack Goodall, better known as Jack in the Box.  Both families were super nice.  Her brother D.J.ed the wedding… he is amazing.   The name of his company is DJ Goods… get it… Goodall is his last name:-).   All the vendors were first class, their names and websites are below.  Enjoy.

Cristina and Joseph’s Wedding – Saint Agnes Catholic Church & Coronado Marriott

Cristina and Joe are a great couple.  I shot Cristina’s sisters wedding and some family photos.  We all know each other through the neighborhood.  It is obvious that Joseph worships the ground Cristina walks on.  I really enjoyed the time we spent together.  Cristina got ready at her mothers home in Point Loma and Joe got ready at their condo near the church.  They were married at Saint Agnes Catholic.   Their reception was at The Coronado Marriott.  I work there quite often.  The venue is amazing, the food is fantastic and the staff is excellent… is that enough adjectives for you:-).  All the vendors were top notch.  There is a list of these qualified wedding professionals below.  Enjoy!

Regina and Joel’s Estancia and Scripps Seaside Forum Wedding

Regina and Joel are fabulous.  They are both school teachers and absolutely love their jobs.  That says a lot about who they are.  Their deep care and compassion for children is evident.  They are both avid outdoors people.  Lots of camping, hiking and just about anything that brings them in contact with nature.  They met on eHarmony.  Their pre-ceremony took place at the beautiful Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla and their ceremony and reception was at Scripps Seaside Forum on the UCSD Campus.  Two absolutely beautiful venues.  Here are their photos… Enjoy!
