Andy + Jordan: San Onofre Elopement

A SAN CLEMENTE ELOPEMENT

Originally, Andy and Jordan were supposed to be married at Duke’s in Malibu, but due to the pandemic, things changed last minute. They started looking at options in south county and found options for a reception, but couldn’t find a beach option for the ceremony, until…. San Onofre. I had photographed quite a few engagement sessions and fun sessions here recently and they asked me about it. We wound up scoping it out about a week before their wedding and it was the perfect place for their ceremony. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends. Unfortunately Jordan’s family couldn’t make it, but nonetheless, it was a perfect day.

Matthew + Nichole: The Casino San Clemente Wedding

A SAN CLEMENTE WEDDING

UGH THESE FRIENDS OF MINE!! I’ve known Nichole forever and a day, but I met Matthew at Lexi and Rendon’s wedding when Nichole was a bridesmaid. They danced the night away and a year and a half later were married at The Casino in San Clemente. It was the most beautiful wedding including incredible florals by Chesca Makes Things and the best DJ ever (other than his roomie) DJ BMO. Thanks to my girl Valerie for second shooting this wedding with me! She killed it. I LOVE getting to work with my friends, so hit me up for that friendor list if you book me for your wedding!! You’ll get the best people who will make your day so fun and run smoothly!

Betty + Chris: Orange County Wedding

A San Clemente Backyard Wedding

The Barton wedding is officially hitting the blog & I'm stoked about it. This was the very first wedding I shot back in 2012! So wild!

Well, Chris and I first met at In N Out when he was my manager. He was favorite manager back then, so I was beyond excited when he asked me (and my friend Nico Marino) to photograph his wedding. Nico covered the ladies since he knew Betty better than I did and I covered Chris and the guys. Thankfully it was a small backyard wedding, so a great first wedding and I was able to work on it with a good friend of mine. 

We had a blast walking down the San Clemente pier taking photos after the ceremony, which you can see above -- Don't they look great? I'd say I did a pretty solid job on this for it being my first wedding!
