Rancho Santa Fe Wedding: Morgan and Mario, Part One

Morgan and Mario's love story is simple: one sunny San Diego day, Mario's friends invited Morgan's friends - Morgan included - all over to hang out at Mario's mother's home in Rancho Sante Fe. Little did they know that the place where they met and laughed all night for the first time would be the same place where they would eventually marry. 

Morgan's choice of wedding day shoes had me looking like the emoji with the two heart eyes: she would walk down the isle wearing her Valentino rockstud metallic sandals and later change into lace Chuck Taylors. Comfort meets major style!

A shout out to Morgan's bridesmaids who also donned majorly stylish footwear!

With help from her Mom and after a mini first look with her Dad, Morgan was wedding ready and stood as a stunning bride.

While Gorda, Morgan and Mario's ten year old English bulldog, happily hung out in the bridal suite, Mario and his groomsmen ensured they were well hydrated before the ceremony.

Morgan's Father happily walked her down the path from the ranch's main building to the outdoor ceremony held under three gorgeous trees and surrounded by all of Morgan and Mario's loved ones.

Mario was ready to make this happen, Gorda was ready to have her parents formally united, and quite evident from Morgan's facial expressions below, she was ecstatic to marry her soulmate.

Congratulations Morgan and Mario! Part II of their wedding is the next featured blog post.

Pala Mesa Resort Wedding: Erica and Mike, Part I

Erica and Mike met online, and on their second date is when Mike knew Erica was the one: for a guy who admits that he isn't much of a talker, he felt at extreme ease in conversation with her. Fast forward to a lovely day in May, perfect for a San Diego wedding, where lead photographer Megan and I photographed Erica and Mike wed at Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook.

Before the ceremony, Erica surprised Mike with something more than just her wedding dress...

Erica surprised Mike with a bag full of gifts, including a heart felt card, a cupcake, bride and groom glasses, and a bottle of champagne that they popped immediately after their first look. Bubbly for the win!

These two say they are the ying to the other's yang, but they stood as one solid, so-in-love couple during their bride and groom portrait session.

Cheers! Their first glass of champagne as husband and wife! Stayed tuned for Part 2 of Erica and Mike's wedding on the blog tomorrow!
