{Christine and Rob} The Lodge at Torrey Pines

Christine and Rob were married at The Lodge at Torrey Pines in Del Mar. The entire event was gorgeously planned by Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings and every detail was perfect, truly a fairy-tale wedding. The colors were bright and vibrant, the flowers were beautiful, Christine was absolutely radient and Rob was totally enchanted by her…. the couple was the definition of “cloud 9” and “best day of your life”. I had such a good time photographing this wedding, Christine and Rob were so easy going and fun to photograph and I absolutely L-O-V-E how the photos turned out. Here are a few of my favorites!

These are the moments that make up a lifetime.

The kind you don’t plan. The kind you can’t pose.
Just a little girl chasing the grandpa who makes her laugh the hardest.⁠
⁠
This is what real memories look like—movement, joy, love.
The way he turns to let her catch up.
The way she thinks he’s the most fun person on the planet.⁠
⁠
It’s not perfect lighting or perfect stillness…
It’s perfect *connection.*⁠

This moment right here: sunshine on their faces, love in the air, and a baby on the way 🌿✨
Big brother is ready (with sidekick pup, of course), and this growing crew couldn’t be sweeter.
There’s something about maternity sessions in open fields… time slows down, and the joy feels extra real.
