Rancho Valencia Resort Wedding Photography | Alison + Kelly

Vallentyne-Photography_1432.jpg

I love working with Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings and this Rancho Valencia Resort wedding was no exception! Every detail was unique and I love how the entire wedding really reflected the bride and groom’s unique style and personality.

It was so much fun to work with Alison and Kelly on both their engagement and wedding photos…and also so wonderful to see Alison’s cute little baby bump on the wedding day! Of course she looked just as amazing as ever and I am so happy for the expansion of their little family! I can’t wait for family portraits in the future- congrats you two!

Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you!

Your portraits should bring you back to the way it felt in that moment—not just the way it looked. If that’s the kind of memory you want, let’s work together.
Photography is about so much more than pictures—it’s about telling the story of your family, piece by piece. If you’d like your story told, I’d love to help.
Many of my clients start with a maternity session and stay with me through newborn, family, and senior portraits. It’s a beautiful journey to share. If you’d like to start yours, let’s connect.
The best portraits don’t happen because everyone posed perfectly—they happen because you were relaxed and connected. If that’s the experience you want, let’s plan it.
My goal is always to create portraits that feel timeless—photos you’ll still love when you look back years from now. If that’s what you’d like, let’s chat.
Senior portraits going strong, I love the beautiful golden glow this time of year! 🌞 There’s something special about working with families year after year—seeing kids grow, parents change, and memories deepen. If you’d like that kind of long-term photographer, I’d love to be that for you.
