{Krissy and Elvin} A Rancho Bernardo Inn Wedding

Krissy and Elvin’s wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn was absolutely gorgeous and romantic. I love this venue for weddings and photography, and their food and catering is also amazing! Kristen Garuba of Pink Papaya Events coordinated the entire day to perfectly match what the couple was dreaming of and Annette Gomez of Flowers by Annette went above and beyond to create florals that encompassed both the bride and grooms styles. Here are just a few of the beautiful images from the wedding day!

Some images feel more like paintings than photographs. A child, still and curious, surrounded by color. This one became fine art because it already felt like it.

Before the excitement of tomorrow, Christmas Eve is for slowing down. Snuggles, laughter, and holding onto the people who mean the most.

The day before Christmas Eve feels a little like this—lighthearted, close, and full of laughter. Black & white moments that say everything without saying a word.

Sometimes it’s fun to play. Murals, color, imagination—kids see the world as magic, and photographs like this let you see it too.
