VALLENTYNE WEDDINGS

I have so much fun shooting around downtown Encinitas… the town has so much character. Kelsey and Scott have a lot of memories around this area so it as the perfect location for their engagement shoot…. I can’t wait until the wedding!

I was thrilled to see the new edition of Exquisite Weddings Magazine and I love this vibrant photo they chose of Katherine and Shane’s engagement shoot in Balboa Park!

There are so many options for displaying your engagement photos at your wedding. The one I am loving most right now is to make a beautiful press printed photo book out of your favorites and let your guests sign and write messages to you as a couple. Not only do you have a book full of great photos of the two of you, but it is filled with sweet, funny, and sometimes crazy messages from your friends and family. The book I just put together for Carly and Clayton is awesome because many of the pages have cute idea starters to give people ideas on what to write. That way it gets a little deeper and more fun than just “Best Wishes” and the other standard-sweet responses you usually see! I love this book, here are some pics!

Kristi and Roger booked their shoot with me for a reason I loved. Simply because they need pictures together! Who doesn’t? I even have a pretty big collection of photos where I am holding the camera out to take a picture of me and my husband! They have been married for 4 years now and are thinking that sometime soon might be family time. So before that big day comes, we did some awesome pics of the two of them, pre-family, looking beautiful!

Chris and Kristine are a very sweet couple from New Jersey who are doing their destination wedding in California! Although we booked over the phone, as soon as I met them for our engagement shoot at The Four Seasons I knew we got along great! It was a very fun shoot and a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore the grounds of the hotel they will be getting married at. After pictures at the hotel, we headed down to the beach to have a well rounded line up of locations. Here are some of my favorite images!
