{San Diego Family Photography~Marston House}

I have been so excited to share this photo shoot for so many reasons! One~ I love this family! I have had the pleasure of capturing several very special moments in their lives; a maternity shoot {here}, the birth of that little bundle {here}, and the gathering of their extended family {here}

 Two~ This location was a new and beautiful backdrop for me to shoot at and  I loved scouting it out and finding special spots I had never explored! And Three (My favorite reason) ~This was not a new spot for this lovely couple, this is the spot they were married and exchanged vows 4 years ago! When Kim shared the idea of shooting their and symbolizing the union of their marriage and the growth of their sweet family I just feel in love with the idea! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of so many special and wonderful moments in your life, I cherish each one!

{20 Year Anniversary at the Hotel Del~ Coronado Island Photography}

~20 Years Together~

Alan and Carrie have been married 20 Years which is a pretty amazing milestone that I had the privilege to capture for them. Alan and Carrie reside in Arizona and every year they vacation at The Hotel Del in Coronado where they originally honeymooned to celebrate! That is where I come in;) Last year I was doing a photo shoot in Coronado and a couple comes by on their beach cruisers and asks if I have a card which unlike usual I did;) Fast forward to this year I get a call and schedule their shoot knowing they are from out of town but it wasn't until after we were done that I asked how they found me to do their session and we connected the dots that they were 'that couple'; and we all had a really good laugh and it made for a great story! 

They also shared that when they were married all those years ago their photographer who shot their wedding took the money bolted and they never received any images of they're wedding day! 

{GASP...Can you even imagine...}

So needless to say this was a very special and meaningful shoot for so many reasons not the least of which is that this couple is so sweet and amazing and have stood by each other for 20 years. 

All the best to you both and here is to 20 more years of love, health, and happiness!
