Scott & April | San Diego Wedding Photography

I have been dying to post this wedding! It's picture heavy but so worth it. I absolutely adore Scott and April. Ever since the four of us adventured through Julian for their engagement session (check it out HERE) I have been smitten with these two GORGEOUS people. They both have such sweet hearts and are a joy to be around. I should have know their wedding was going to rock my socks off.

If weddings were people, Scott and April's wedding and I would totally be BFFs. I LOVED everything about their day. I loved the romantic Spanish ranch setting. I loved April's steady, peaceful, joy that morning. I loved the look on Scott's face when April walked down the aisle. I loved the Story behind April's stunning dress. I loved April's sweet, sweet bridesmaids. I loved the magic of peacocks roaming, lace flowing, mason jars, and bright fun colors. I loved that they had gourmet taco's for dinner. Seriously the best tacos and wedding food I have EVER had. I loved that every inch of their wedding was filled with personal sentiments. Scott and April's wedding oozed love, personality, and the Lord. I am so incredibly thankful that I had the honor to be a part of it.

Cheers to Scott and April! Congratulations again and thank you for sharing your life and love with us.

April's dress was completely handmade by Chris Gennaro. Chris is a husband, father of 6, incredible dress designer, oh and currently a missionary in Lesotho, South Africa with his family of 8! Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!



I love the look on Scott's face.







Scott and April's tables were named after places that are special to them.

I loved their wooden silverware!!! Yes they are eco-friendly, but seriously how cute are they?! Double bonus.

The little things...

Life is all about the little things... Here are a few little things I'm loving right now.

1) Vegetables.
I love them. They're magic. A seed, dirt, cow poop, and some water and sunshine later and boom.. you've got gorgeousness. We're trying to eat healthier and eating more vegetables and less processed dirty things is part of the plan. This week I made a eggplant lasagna for dinner. Oh my, it was delicious! Check out the recipe: HERE. I added onions and portrabella mushrooms. Don't be thrown off by the blog's name... No, we're not going vegan:)


2) John Mark McMillan.
His voice, his heart, his concert next week! Brett and I are going to see David Crowder, John Mark, and Gungor next Friday at the House of Blues and I absolutely can not wait. His album has taken over my car's speakers. Oh, I can't wait!

3) Hosea.
Hosea has me wrapped around it's little pinky finger. I haven't studied Hosea before and I still have like 10 chapters to go but so far but it has gripped me deep and I can't put it down. I'm so moved by God's relentless, passionate, deep, unending love for us. How he continues to faithfully pursue us even though we are so often like an unfaithful wife turning to our other lovers in life. Mm mm mm. God is good.


4) Terrariums.
Terrariums are so cool! It's like a whole pretty little world in a pretty little bubble. I first noticed them in a shop window next to my camera store in North Park. Every time I walk past that store I peek in. They have the cutest stuff in there and the cutest terrariums. I totally want to make one! I looked at the shop's website and found that they have kits. I think I could make it myself for cheaper but they do have the cute glass orbs for only $10. SOLD! http://www.shoppigment.com/

Luke & Krista | San Diego Wedding Photography

Luke and Krista are married! Luke is Brett's cousin and we had a blast getting to spend a whole day celebrating with family AND doing what we love. Their day was gorgeous, they were gorgeous, and their last name is awesome! Ok, so I'm a little biased.

It took everything in me not to run away with this hanger!









A night of dancing and cake is enough to knock anyone out;)
