Oceanside Beach Wedding Photography, Congratulations Katie + Jeff!

I am so in love with these elegant and classic photos on the beach in Oceanside, California. I love beach weddings and everything about the personality of this wedding was absolutely perfect for Katie and Jeff. Being in Oceanside native as well, it was also the perfect bride and groom + photographer fit. Katie and Jeff, thank you so much for trusting me to photograph your wedding day, congratulations!

Fun fact:

Katie and Jeff met Tinder.com! I love what Jeff said on his first date… She asked if he wanted some wine and he said “wine not”

Choosing a special wedding venue:

The Oceanside California Harbor, ceremony location

Jeff grew up surfing at the Harbor, and Katie moved to SoCal for the ocean. They both go there often. It has significance to Jeff and is very symbolic. Katie has always dreamt of having a beach wedding and can’t believe it’s real!

The Oceanside Museum of Art on Pierview Way

We did a lot of research about Oceanside venues and stumbled into the Art Museum. We loved working with Tanya, and the vibe was funky/unique and perfect for us, with the right location.

There’s something so powerful about the way a mother holds her newborn—gentle, protective, completely in sync.⁣
⁣
In those first few weeks, everything feels new, yet somehow like it was always meant to be. These are the moments you’ll want to remember—the way they fit in your arms, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the quiet connection that needs no words.⁣
⁣
Let’s create images that hold onto this time forever.⁣

Oh my… you still sleep like that.” The way your baby tucks their hands under their cheek or stretches one tiny foot just so—it’s all them. And that’s exactly what we’ll capture. 💫

✨ One moment, they’re little, holding your hand. The next, they’re off chasing their own dreams. Let’s capture this season before it’s just a memory.⁣

The tiniest yawn, the biggest feeling!⁣ Happy Easter weekend, wishing you all lots of fun and sunshine wherever you are!
⁣
There’s something about a newborn’s yawn that makes time stand still. Maybe it’s because you know these sleepy, snuggly days won’t last forever. But for now, they’re here—and they’re everything.

There’s something magical about the way newborns settle into sleep. Each baby has their own way of curling up or stretching out, and I love capturing those little details that make them them. 💛
