Angelica is one of the most luminous personalities I’ve ever met… and she just happens to be gorgeous as well! These two had a perfect small ceremony on the cliffs in La Jolla followed by a rockin reception at the La Jolla Womens Club that was full of the warmth that everyone was feeling. Angelica was a model and it completely showed in every photo she took. She exuded beauty, warmth, and her love for Bryan was overwhelming. Thanks you two for making it easy for me!
We started off with Angelicas prep… and there was a lot of action in that little room.





The day was full of all this anticipation while we all waited for the marine layer to let up so we would have blue skies. It made for very white pictures… but was also an amazing way to showcase what the day actually FELT like… I love this shot of her veil twisting in the wind while she waited for things to begin… she was the first bride in history to be finished getting ready early!

Meanwhile at the Womens Club things were coming together… and Bryan was pacing around anxious to see Angelica too. He kept calling her maid of honor to see how she was holding up…. so sweet.


Since they were both older, it was really fun to have their kids with them as part of the ceremony. You can completely see where her two sons got their good looks from can’t you?


It doesn’t get any better than this…



And then out came the bubbles… I LOVE bubbles at weddings. I hope more couples catch on to this little treat!


And then the sun came out… and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Just in time for portraits and to warm up the reception hall with a surreal heavenly light.




I think this kid was more terrified and less amused at being up so high! The side room has a MUCH lower ceiling and I think he knew it!!! lol

The evening ended with lots of dancing, and even more hugs. I love getting the chance to be a part of such a perfect day, and having a couple like Angelica and Bryan makes it that much better! Thanks again for allowing me to be such an important part of your day!

















I think Aarti was tired from being so still all day…. but her designs came out so awesome in the end. They pat lemon juice on the finished design to help the pigment set into the skin, and so having both hands (palms included) and the tops of her feet and ankles completely done, all she could do by the end was lie on the floor! What amazing patience.
Even the guys got in on the action… so fun!
