I had the opportunity to photograph the wedding of Michelle and Aaron at the first ever wedding at the Girl Scouts San Diego venue downtown near Balboa Park. Michelle’s dad had worked with the Girl Scouts for awhile and so they attempted successfully their first ever on site wedding at the property. It worked out beautifully! The outdoor reception and intimate amphitheater ceremony made for a unique and fun personalized wedding!
These two were such a sweet couple. Not ones to be center of attention, they did things simply but with great class and significance to their personal story. I truly enjoyed getting to know them both.
My second shooter, Kellie, who has been my rockstar sidekick this season was fabulous!! Her website is www.littlebluebowphotography.com if you want to check it out! (and you totally should!) Here are some highlights from the day starting out with the GORGEOUS floral work by Rebecca Eichten.
I loved Michelle’s ring! It was her grandmothers engagement ring and he used his grandfathers as well. I love the significance of wearing their family heritage.
We headed out to Balboa Park for photos of the Aaron & Michelle! I was stoked!
Can I say again how gorgeous this bouquet is!?!? Those colors… I. Love. Them.
This next one of Aaron and Michelle are my favorites!
They had a brick put in at the Girl Scouts property with their anniversary date on it 🙂
After the ceremony, we found some gorgeous light for the family photos and I convinced Aaron and Michelle to hang with me an extra five minutes for a few more couple shots. Well worth it…. they turned out to be some of my favorites from the day! That golden hour light is pretty spectacular.
Aaron and Michelle are both in Fisheries…. specifically Salmon study! They met on the River 🙂
Michelle’s dad made all the lawn games for the reception! There was a huge area for hangout and the guests were able to drink and chill out on the lawn for cocktail hour. It was a great space!
Aaron and Michelle. You two are truly a beautiful couple with so much inner beauty and delight in one another. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your day! Much love to you both!
And cheers to those who brought life and color to the day by sharing their gifts and abilities with Aaron and Michelle!
