Hey there! As a wedding photographer, each gig brings its own vibe, and Christina + Michael's wedding day was no exception. Let me take you through the day—it was a whirlwind of joy, beauty, and some seriously memorable shots.

Getting Ready: Chilled Vibes at an AirBnb

We kicked off the day at this cozy AirBnb tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. There's something about the pre-wedding prep that's just electric, right? Laughter, nerves, and that special bond between friends—it was all there. I loved capturing those candid moments, the flutter of excitement as everyone got dolled up.

First Look and Bridal Portraits: Picture Perfect at Balboa Park

Next stop: Balboa Park. This place is a photographer's dream, with its stunning architecture and lush greenery. When the groom saw his bride for the first time, in the beautiful Alcazar garden—it was magic. Their emotions were raw and real, and I was there to freeze those priceless expressions in time. We wandered around, finding hidden nooks and crannies for some seriously breathtaking portraits.

Ceremony and Reception:  FruitCraft - Fermentery and Distillery 

The main event went down at FruitCraft, this cool venue that mixes industrial vibes with modern elegance. The ceremony was bathed in golden sunlight, with all their loved ones cheering them on. Vows were exchanged, rings were slipped on, and the party kicked off big time.

The reception was a blast—heartfelt speeches, crazy dances, and so much love in the air. The whole place was lit up, literally and figuratively. It was clear that every detail, from the decor to the music playlist, was a reflection of Christina + Michael's style and story.

Capturing Memories, Preserving Moments

For me, being a wedding photographer is about more than just snapping pics. It's about capturing the vibe, the feels, and the essence of the day—the little things that make it uniquely theirs. From the chill moments at the AirBnb to the epic backdrop of Balboa Park and the trendy setup at FruitCraft, every location told a piece of their love story. I'm reminded why I love what I do. It's about freezing those magical moments that people will cherish forever.
