This past weekend I had the awesome opportunity to travel to San Diego CALIFORNIA (Yeah!) to photograph one of my couples’ engagement session. More on that later. First, I must also share the great news that I was invited to photograph a wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn with world famous photographer [B]ecker. It was a beautiful and sunny day, truly a vacation from the dreary winter weather we’ve been having here in Rochester NY. On to the images:
The theme was purple and peacock feathers. I just love Natalie’s purple polka dot shoes with pink soles.
By the time we arrived, Natalie and most of her bridesmaids already had their hair and makeup done – but she wanted to get a picture of it anyway, so she posed for me. Glad to oblige!
The bridesmaids wore black dresses, which complimented their bright and beautiful bouquets.
How cute is this flower girl! Purple tutu and glittery converse shoes completed her outfit.
Natalie and Tom had a “first look” – a bit unusual in upstate NY weddings, but quite the norm on the west coast.
Stunning bride! I wish I could move to San Diego so I would have gorgeous natural light like this all the time.
My partners in crime… er.. wedding – [B]ecker and Karen Revelle.
This was one of the biggest groomsmal parties I’ve photographed. There’s “wedding” party, “bridal” party… why not “groomsmal” party?
Natalie with her dad walking down the aisle, glowing as always.
The sun set behind the hills just as the wedding ceremony started. It gave us beautiful light.
We had about 3 minutes after the ceremony to catch the last bit of the sun, so we spent that time with the newlyweds creating some quick yet timeless moments.
The reception hall was decorated in the same peacock/purple theme.

Thank you so so SOOOO much [b]ecker for letting me shoot with you, it was such a great opportunity! I am so glad to have finally met you in person. And yes, your hair looked perfect.
With love,
Kristina
