She’s from Texas and he’s from Colorado but they have both adapted to the sunny beach life in San Diego quite well. Ashley and her ladies wore robes from Plum Pretty Sugar while getting ready for the big day. Ashley had a cut out of her mom’s dress that was embroidered and sewn under her dress – what a special way to honor her parents and their long and beautiful marriage. Maria Owston Floral Designs created some of the most beautiful bouquets for Ashley and her bridesmaids. They were truly a work of art!

       All eyes were on Ashley as she was escorted by her dad down the aisle to see her groom, for the first time. One of my favorite images from the day was seeing her dad in tears, arm in arm with his daughter – it was really sweet. Her dress designed by Allure Romance from Mia Bella Couture in Del Mar was perfect to wander throughout the gorgeous gardens with her new husband!

       Korie Norton from Bliss Events brought all the personal details and design together. It made for a truly easy-going day and everyone was able to sit back and enjoy the sweet moments as they continued to unfold. I love working with the kind folks at VG Donuts & Bakery – their delicious desserts and cake always hit the spot. See all of these moments and more below!
