{Veronica and Anthony} The Arbor Terrace at the Grand Tradition

Veronica and Anthony’s wedding was so lovely…. the Arbor Terrace at The Grand Tradition in Fallbrook is such a hidden gen in San Diego county for a wedding location! I felt like I was shooting in Hawaii. I also loved how convenient the venue was for all the guests with the ceremony, cocktails, and reception right next to each other. We had a great team of vendors that day, and a wedding runs so smoothly with the right team working together! Here are some of my favorites… it was so had to pick for this wedding…. Veronica and Anthony literally do not take a bad picture… ever!

Venue/Caterer: Grand Tradition Estate
Officiant: Pastor Andy McAdams
Florist: Rae Florae
DJ: CanDo Productions
Cake: The French Gourmet
Videographer: SidebySide Video
Hair and Makeup: Beauty and the Beach
Bridal Gown: Casablanca

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.⁠

Changing every day, in every possible way.
That’s the thing about childhood—it doesn’t wait.
One moment they’re clinging to your hand, the next they’re sprinting ahead.
You won’t remember every snack meltdown or muddy shoe…
But this?
This is what you’ll hold on to.

You can almost hear the quiet, can’t you?

The palms standing still. The birds in motion.
Two things that don’t usually go together—
but somehow, in this moment, they do.

Sometimes a photo is less about what you see
and more about what it makes you feel.
