Kelsey and Matt Wedding at L'Auberge
The process: When Kelsey and Matt (and mom and dad) met with me for the first time they had not yet found their perfect venue. We started the search at all the main Orange Country venues since that is where they wanted to host. After we exhausted all our sources I had an idea. Everything they had told me they wanted in a wedding venue, some elements from this hotel and others from that, I had an idea. I told them to please drive down to Del Mar to check out L'auberge before

Isabella and Lee Wedding at Private Estate
The process: We started planning this wedding when the mother of the bride contacted me three months prior. With a quick turn around it was important to get started right away which we did. It was actually really fun to be able to get this wedding designed and put together in a shorter time span. The family and couple were such a joy to work with. They wanted a wedding designed with lots of greenery and blush to create a romantic setting. We brought in everything from rentals

East Coast to West Coast: How to Plan a Destination Wedding
How would you like the wedding of your dreams in sunny Southern California? Well in 2017, approximately 250,000 weddings happened in California, according to theweddingreport.com. And yours can too. Many couples attempt to plan a destination wedding, and while it might sound like a simple process, many give up after a few stress-filled months.

Haley and Andrew at Tom Ham's Lighthouse
When Haley first found me she was living in London while her fiance was back in Texas. It was also January 2017 and the wedding was July 2018! Another fun fact was I was 9 months pregnant when they hired me and my baby was 18 months old at their wedding. It is crazy how fast time flew during their planning process! The Process: Haley and Andrew hired me for full planning since they were having a destination wedding here in San Diego. It started 18 months prior to the wedding

Katie and Dylan at Scripps Seaside Forum
Katie and Dylan were married overlooking the water at Scripps Seaside Forum this past January. It rained the week up until the wedding AND the day after the wedding. The whole wedding day itself could not have been more beautiful and sunny though. Every detail of this wedding was absolutely stunning, and the couple even more so. I swoon every time I look at the photos and you will see why. Venue: Scripps Seaside Forum Photographer: Allie Lindsey Photography Makeup and Hair: B

Grace and Jimmy at Moniker Warehouse
Grace and Jimmy came all the way from New York to host their wedding for their family and friends. They made sure to spare no expense in making sure their guests felt comfortable and had an amazing time. Their goal was for the wedding to feel relaxed and have a cocktail dinner vibe so we had a food truck, lots of drinks and lounge furniture. It was so much fun designing this wedding with them to create the look they envisioned. I loved working with this couple and so honored

Mia and Bram at Scripps Seaside Forum
Mia and Bram said "I do" on the coast of La Jolla at Scripps Seaside Forum on January 31st. We started the planning process about a year prior and I had the best time planning this beautiful affair. Both Mia and Bram are genuinely caring, sweet and lovely people which makes planning so easy. What we didn't plan for was the weather. The weeks leading up to the big day it said zero chance of rain. ZERO. Then the week before it kept creeping its way up to 99% chance of rain. We

Laura and Anthony at El Cortez
I can not say enough good things about this couple. They are adorable. They are genuine. And they are really really in love. I enjoyed every minute of planning this wedding with them. Planning a wedding with a couple from start to finish is always an honor. I love getting to know them, building a friendship and then helping them build their dream wedding. It's a special time in their lives and for them to have asked me to help with the journey is beyond words. Photographer: D
