Vallentyne-Photography_1372.jpg

Definitely one of my favorite weddings of the year, if not in a long time! I was absolutely in love with the decor and details from this wedding…. Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings pulled together the best of the best of the industry and created a dream wedding for Rachel and Matthew!

Of course Rancho Valencia Resort is also one of my favorite venues for it’s country elegance and beautiful Spanish architecture. Lot’s of amazing wedding ideas here so I have listed all the contributing vendors below the photos!

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

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.

Because “sit still and smile” is not in their vocabulary⁠
⁠
And honestly? I wouldn’t want it to be.⁠
⁠
The laughter mid-air, the tiny toes kicking, the wild beach breeze—that’s the magic.⁠
⁠
These aren’t just photos of your kids behaving… they’re memories of them being.⁠
⁠
Because years from now, you won’t miss the perfectly posed moments—you’ll miss this. The sound of their giggle. The weight of them in your arms. The way they lit up when you played airplane.⁠
⁠
Let’s capture that.⁠
