An Elegant Southern California Wedding at Rancho Valencia Resort, Claudia + Deane

Claudia & Deane love life together and it really shows through! It was so nice to watch as their wedding day unfolded with lots of their own traditions! These two like to do things their own way and I absolutely loved that!

Wedding venue:
Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in Rancho Santa Fe has a unique and beautiful style that walks the line between natural, romantic, and glam. With a high-end luxury wedding venue you can be sure of a truly flawless wedding with plenty of pristine Southern California nature and gardens, intimate courtyards, and delicious food and wine!

Star Vendors:
Lauren Mandler was my superstar of the day! Her flawless coordination and years of experience in coordinating weddings at Rancho Valencia made the whole day a seamless dream for Claudia & Deane!

My Favorite Moment:
Definitely when the groom grabbed the guitar for an impromtu solo and the bride sang along with him!! These two were made for each other for sure!

Getting everyone dressed, out the door, and smiling in the same frame? That’s Olympic-level parenting.⁠
⁠
But here`s the thing: it doesn`t have to be perfect to be beautiful.⁠
⁠
I`ll guide you through it, chase the giggles, and capture the moments that matter—whether your toddler is smiling or making their signature “no nap” face.⁠
⁠
And yes… we will get that one magical photo. Maybe even a few.⁠

Honestly? They barely noticed I was there. So in love!!

Just two people, wildly into each other,
cracking up on the beach like it’s the only place that matters.

10/10 would third wheel again.

A wild little laugh, some flying baby limbs, and a dad who’s all in. These are the moments you can’t plan, and honestly, why would you?

Just two people and a whole new chapter rolling in with the tide.
No shoes. No stress.
Just soaking it in before everything changes.
