San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Patricia and Marcos

San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Patricia and Marcos

It's just coffee?! Anyone who has dated has likely said this once in their dating life, but when a simple coffee date turns into a DAY LONG date, it's a good sign. This is how Patricia and Marcos' love story began, eventually evolving into an exchange of new interests and hobbies: Patricia opened Marcos' eyes to the symphony and Marcos introduced her to soccer.

When Patricia and Marcos reached out to me to photograph their San Diego civil marriage ceremony, I was thrilled: they were able to get an appointment with the county clerk's office four years and one day upon meeting and would marry at the 'marriage hut' set up by the San Diego Administration Building due to the Covid, an opportunity for those very much in love to still move forward in their plans to wed despite the current pandemic. With the San Diego County Administration Building as our first backdrop, we had an amazing morning documenting wedding photos at Waterfront Park.

Patricia and Marcos, you came looking fly! Absolutely stunning, and you gave me your best energy, which I so appreciate. I can't wait to see what adventures you both get into together! xo, Evelyn

San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Maria and Fausto

When Maria and Fausto reached out to me to photograph their civil marriage ceremony, I was thrilled: Fausto is the cousin of one of my past grooms so we'd previously met and knew he was a complete sweetheart. Combine this with the fact that I absolutely love shooting at Waterfront Park and I knew this afternoon was going to be amazing.

With the San Diego County Administration Building as our backdrop, absolutely stunning Maria and Fausto were all smiles and laughs after their civil marriage ceremony, and Maria's strut in her gorgeous Adriana Lugo wedding dress. Let it be known that a San Diego courthouse wedding is special: an outdoor ceremony with a gorgeous San Diego bay backdrop provides plenty of space for photos.

Fausto and Maria, felicidades y gracias por darme el placer de tomarles sus fotos en su dia de casamiento! Con carino, Evelyn

Thursday Club Wedding: Jacque and James, Part One

Thursday Club Wedding: Jacque and James, Part One

Jacque and James came to me knowing what they wanted: a classic wedding with touches of green and gold in their reception decor, plenty of time for them to embrace the moment together, and a raging dance party where every awesome and funny dance move would be documented. Not only did this all align with my values and ideal wedding, but I loved how decisive they were about what they wanted.

Jacque and James' wedding day kicked on stunningly: taking advantage of the Spanish style architecture at Kona Kai Resort San Diego, both Jacque and James got ready on property and had their First Look which they followed up with photos of their bridal party. With a lot of their photos out of the way, we all headed over to The Thursday Club for their ceremony and reception in Part II of their wedding day!

Thursday Club Wedding: Jacque and James, Part Two

After Part I of Jacque and James' wedding day, these two were ready for their ceremony and reception at The Thursday Club, all coordinated by the lovely Courtney of Breezy Day Weddings.

One of the way in which Jacque, James, and I bonded was over our mutual love for travel, so I was beyond excited to hear that their Thursday Club reception would be travel themed! With paper airplane nameplates and photos commemorating many of the global locations they have visited together, Heather of Breezy Day Florals completed the decor with her magical floral touches!

Before walking into this gorgeous reception that would later turn into an awesome dance party, Jacque and James requested sunset photos at Sunset Cliffs. With one last chance of taking in the day together, just them two, I encouraged them to take in what they saw, what they smelled, what they heard. Whenever they wanted to be transported back to this day and all of the wonderful feelings that came along with it, they can tap on the memory of these senses. 

Jacque and James, you know I adore you! When a Type A couple meets and Type A photographer, we are a match made in heaven! I will forever be grateful that you allowed me to document your day, will adore you forever for being so organized and sharing a similar vision as me, and I do want to visit you in Chicago one day :) xo, Evelyn

Japanese Friendship Garden Wedding: Lori and Joe

Japan holds a special place in both Lori and Joe's hearts: Japan is where they took a luxurious and enchanting trip that had them both fall in love with the country and Japanese culture! Both lovers of international travel way before meeting each other, Lori and Joe wanted to recount their wonderful trip, so the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park was the perfect backdrop for their intimate fall wedding in San Diego!

Joe and Lori were married amongst family and friends and incorporated the Celtic tradition of handfasting into their ceremony before celebrating with a travel themed reception! With gorgeous florals by Ranch Events, each table was themed with a specific country! So cute!!

Lori and Joe, I love your sense for adventure and wish your future is full of more travels together! Thank you for trusting me to document your day! xo, Evelyn
