Casey & Scott – San Diego Botanic Garden Wedding

I am SO excited to share these images with you from Casey and Scott’s amazingly fun wedding! These two lovebirds planned to hold their ceremony at the San Diego Botanic Garden‘s Walled Garden and their reception at one of Casey’s cousin’s house nearby in Encinitas.

I was eagerly anticipating this wedding after photographing the bride and groom’s engagement session at the garden, and was so excited when their big day arrived! Surrounded by so many loving family and friends, Casey and Scott said their vows and celebrated the night away!

Casey’s dress complimented Scott’s Marine Dress Blues perfectly, and their gorgeous ceremony ended with a saber arch! With so many of Casey and Scott’s family and friends in various military service, I don’t think it would have been possible to avoid that tradition!

After the ceremony, Scott changed into his kilt, and the decor at the reception site (including the cake and whisky!) reflected his Scottish heritage. We couldn’t resist a few fun kilt images towards the end of the night!

Christine & Nick – Wedding Sneak Peak

Congratulations to Christine and Nick on their beautiful wedding! This gorgeous couple tied the knot last night at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Coronado and held the reception at the Island Club at Naval Air Station North Island. You could feel the love between these two from a mile away, and it was evident that their families were just as excited to be joining one another as Christine and Nick were. Here are just a handful of my favorites!

San Diego Shooting Group – Old Town

Hi all!

Last month, the San Diego Shooting Group got together in Old Town San Diego to photograph a Marine and his gorgeous bride. These two had just been married for two months! Below are some of my favorites, including a “behind the scenes” shot!

The fabulous Kammi Long provided the hair and make-up artistry for this shoot. She did a wonderful job, don’t you think?!

A huge thank you goes out to Karlee and Dylan for joining us on this warm afternoon for some photo fun, and to Kammi for doing such a lovely job on Karlee’s hair and make-up! And another thank you to the photographers who came to practice. :)

What is the San Diego Shooting Group? We’re a casual group with photographers of all sorts of levels of experience, who get together every other month to practice our craft. If you’re a San Diego-based photographer looking for a fun group to get out and shoot with, feel free to email me, facebook me, or tweet me so I can let you know about everything we have planned! We get together every other month, so I’ll be scheduling the next event for sometime in December.

xoxo,
Lauren
