Heather & Earl – Keys Creek Lavender Farm Wedding

Congratulations again to Heather and Earl, whose intimate wedding at Keys Creek Lavender Farm in Valley Center was simply stunning.

Heather and Earl were perfectly relaxed that afternoon as they said their vows in the presence of Earl’s daughters and their closest friends. The bride and groom wrote their ceremony and their vows, incorporating their newly formed family into the readings and via a delicate sand pouring ceremony.

The lavender fields were in bloom, matched in beauty only by the love shared between these two.

For the next few photos, check out Heather’s description of the story behind the duck beaks! :)

“When I first met the girls, M showed us a You Tube Video called “The Duck Song” – we were all in the car laughing and giggling. For the next three days we went around asking people at theme parks, restaurants and really, wherever we were, if they had any grapes. It has since stuck and we still do this and play the video randomly while out and about LOL. While the girls were here with us in San Diego, I played it underwater on my phone while Doc was soaking. I HAD to incorporate this into our wedding photos. I absolutely love these. Here’s a link to “The Duck Song:” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q

Dee & Danielle – Balboa Park Wedding

What was going to be an engagement session turned into a full-blown wedding at Alcazar Garden in Balboa Park when the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was ruled unconstitutional last month! Dee and Danielle quickly gathered their family and friends for a quick ceremony followed by lunch at the Tilted Kilt. The ceremony, given by one of Danielle’s fellow sailors, highlighted the love that these two share. Here are a few favorites from the ceremony and a short walk around Balboa Park.
