Torrey Pines State Reserve Wedding {A dream wedding overlooking the ocean!}

I am not exaggerating when I say that the light at Torrey Pines State Park was the most beautiful I have ever seen it on this wedding day! At first it looked like rain, and then the clouds turned magical. For a Spring wedding at Torrey Pines State Park, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it prettier. Spring weddings are my favorite because everything is so green and beautiful. Flowers are blooming and the skies are filled with gorgeous puffy clouds. I loved the intimacy of this small wedding on a clifftop overlooking the ocean in Southern California…

Such a dream come true and here are my a few of my favorite images!

If you’re searching for a San Diego photographer, I’d love to help you create something beautiful for your home.

Photography isn’t just my career—it’s been my life’s work for more than 20 years. Each session still excites me, and I’d love to bring that passion to your portraits too.

Some of the best photos happen when nothing goes to plan—kids running, wind in the hair, real life unfolding. That’s where the beauty is. If that sounds like your family, I’d love to photograph you.
