L’Auberge Del Mar Wedding, Jason + Kristen

Congratulations Jason and Kristen! Your wedding was the perfect marriage of style, romance, and beach elegance. It was such a beautiful wedding day! It was a photographers dream with a gorgeous cloud cover and little pops of blue sky and sunlight. Kristen, you were an absolutely gorgeous bride and I love that you had two dresses! You were simply stunning in both of them. Jason, you were so handsome in the tux. A bowtie is always my first choice for a groom! I love the photos we got of you and your groomsmen walking together with real smiles and movement, you are all so great on camera!

Kristen and Jason met in New York City in 2013 at a Birthday Party when Jason did his training in NYC. They did long distance after he moved to San Diego for a year in 2016 and that is actually also when the relationship blossomed. Kristen moved out to California the following year.

I love how this adorable couple leaned on each other throughout the wedding day. I also love that they left a week later to Patagonia for a hiking honeymoon! So awesome.

Congratulations to you both, here are a few of my favorite photos of the day!

For me, photography has never just been about images—it’s about people, relationships, and the stories we share. If that’s what you’d like in your portraits, let’s talk.

No two families are alike, and no two sessions should be either. That’s why I design each one with your unique story in mind. If you’d like that for your portraits, let’s plan something special.
