San Clemente Ocean View Wedding | Aaron + Krystn

Not a cloud was in sight as Aaron and Krystn prepared for their San Clemente ocean view wedding at the breathtaking Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Hotel in Dana Point. The stunning architecture provided the backdrop for an intimate first look before the couple continued their day at Casa Romantica, an intimate cliffside venue just 15 minutes down the coast in San Clemente. As the evening colors set in, I was able to steal the newlyweds away for a few sunset romantics overlooking the pier. Skillfully planned by Expressionary Events, it was a perfect celebration of a beautiful couple.

LET'S work
TOGETHER

This life is thrilling and grand and moments of greatness are threaded through loss, grief, and uncertainty. So for tonight, let's dance and celebrate the love we have here. Now. What a gift. The ultimate luxury.

Whether your love is the strong silent kind that shows itself in knowing eyes and tender embraces, or if your love is the loud laughter and infectious kind that can barely contain the joy and excitement you feel... I want to be there. With my camera. Taking snapshots so that time will forever be frozen still.
