Nick and Lisa’s wedding was blissfully relaxed and meaningful. Planning such an intimate destination wedding allowed them to be intentional down to the very littlest detail and I loved every second of it! Despite the weather being hotter than Hades, these Arizonians barely noticed… partially due to their naturally warm home environment, but mostly due to how excited everyone was for the festivities. Little touches here and there really sweetened up the day for everyone involved. Things like personalized necklaces and bracelets that adorned the necks and wrists of Lisa and her ladies, heartfelt gifts of gratitude to their parents, individual notes of appreciate and affirmation for each guest, and their dog Bailey delivering the rings as their “ring pup”. There were tears shed by all in the most wonderful of ways. I feel so honored to be invited to document such a great occasion, and to be treated like family! Here are my favorites from the day…
I mean really…. how cute is this dog?!
The local beach was perfect for some fun and romantic portraits on the sand. Having a destination beach wedding was a dream come true for these two and choosing southern California was a no brainer since many of their fond memories as a couple take place right here. These next shots are some of my favorite “typical California” photos ever!
Nick and Lisa, thanks for inviting me to be a part of such a special day.
Your love was so sweet and I feel so privileged to have been able to document it for you. Congratulations!
