Hotel Del Coronado Wedding Photography | Whitney + Evan

A Hotel Del Coronado wedding with Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings is always a dream event and Whitney and Evan’s wedding was no exception!! It was a beautiful Spring day and the vibrant flowers by Bethany Falefitu of Splendid Sentiments were romantic and elegant on the wide expanse of sandy beach, the perfect setting for a dream wedding. The entire day was perfect and full of happiness and the reception was full of fun, laughter and amazing music by N’Demand– by far one of the best wedding bands I have seen! I feel so lucky to have worked with Whitney and Evan on this special day- I can see how perfect they are for each other and wish them many, many years of happiness together!

Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you! xo, Heather 1-760-672-2416 heather@vallentynephotography.com Vallentyne-Photography_0751.jpg

The best thing about memories is making them…
running wild, laughing loud, and loving big.
No script, just joy — and maybe a little sand. 🌞

Six months. That in-between place.

Still tiny, but suddenly sitting up.
Still baby, but full of personality.
These sessions are quiet little time capsules—
before the crawling, before the running,
before they’re off to chase the world.

Big smile. Little boots.
The kind of joy you don’t have to pose.

She wasn’t trying to be anything but herself—
and that’s exactly what makes this magic.
