Inspiration Thursday: Golden Timberland


Nestled in the hills of Northern San Diego at the historic Ranch at Bandy Canyon, we created a table that was inspired by the rustic feel of the ranch mixed with the elegance of our beautiful couple. The table included sliced sequoia logs on top of a champagne rosette table cloth that we golded to create the perfect individual setting. On top of the golded logs were ornate wooden Golden chargers. The antique china and gold silverware pulled in the elegant feel perfectly. We wanted the table to be very warm and inviting. The beautiful flowers mixed with the gold candles made the place settings pop. On the dessert table, the gold cake sits on top of a white rosette cloth. The golded "LOVE" sign is used to display our delicious cupcakes. Our couple then moved on to the vineyard at the ranch and we captured the romance of the sun setting and the two of them being caught up in the moment.

Wedding Wednesday: Joan and Ka

5/22/2015  |  Cuvier Park, La Jolla, CA  |  Mantas Kubilinskas Photography

A beautiful couple from the Bay area came to San Diego for their romantic La Jolla Wedding at the Wedding bowl at Cuvier Park. The group of friends and family members helped to make their day unforgettable. The fabulous Joan and Ka met on the bus, which they shared every day on their way to law school. Joan says it was first sight love. After meeting each other every day for one year Ka proposed during their romantic Key West trip.














Wedding Wednesday: Kaslin & Andy

October 25, 2014 | Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

their story: Kaslin and Andy’s classic and romantic day at Estancia in La Jolla was everything that they could have hoped for.  The aisle at the ceremony was decorated with vases filled with white orchids, and a matching wooden arch was set at the end for the couple to marry under.  As the two were announced as Mr. & Mrs., an antique fountain came to life behind them. At the reception, the couple performed a beautiful first dance and the night continued with excellent food and drinks.
