WELCOME TO OUR

Journal

 

In a social-media-run-world we LOVE blogging because it gives us a space to share more of our work that just "the highlight reel". Honestly, anyone can take 3 great photos from a wedding to share on Instagram. We love sharing an ENTIRE wedding day so that you can see how consistently beautiful our work is. Plus, it's a fun way for our clients to share their wedding images with friends and family online. We hope you enjoy!

Stephanie & Daniel

A Crosby Wedding in Rancho Santa Fe, California

Favorite Photo:
It’s so hard to choose a favorite but we absolutely love the picture of us kissing in front of our friends & family on the dance floor at the reception. You can feel the energy and happiness in that photo just by looking at it. It was such a fun moment for us.

From the Bride, Stephanie: Daniel and I spent 5 wonderful years dating before we became husband and wife. We grew closer together and in our relationship with the Lord through so many situations. I can truly and honestly say I have found my best friend and love of my life.

For the decor, I knew I wanted everything to be very soft & sophisticated. I chose blush, ivory and gold to be our wedding colors. The blush color felt effortlessly romantic, bringing just enough color to the subtle neutrals of the wedding decor. For the ceremony, I wanted it to be very intimate and personal. Our pastor did such a great job and we could feel God’s presence and all of the love and support that was surrounding us.

It was important to me to have details that would stand out to our guests so I took a lot of time to create & design a space I felt really matched our personalities. Creating all of the details was my favorite part of the planning process, I had so much fun! Having the seating chart in a large gold frame created a focal point around our guest book table & the hot pink flip-flops were SO fun, every single pair was taken and being used on the dance floor. All of the signs around the reception added the extra touch and I felt like it brought everything together nicely. My absolute favorite detail was the photobooth. The guests loved it and it turned out so cute. The blush sequin backdrop added just enough sparkle & the garland and props really provided a fun atmosphere for guests to enjoy.

Favorite moment: Hands down, no questions asked, our first dance. We had just walked back down the aisle as husband and wife and we were SO happy and had so much energy. It felt like our hearts were beating out of our chests. We were so excited to see all of our loved ones and celebrate with them! After we made our grand entrance, we went straight to the dance floor to start our first dance. I felt like it was just the two of us alone in that moment until Daniel lifted me up (insert: Dirty Dancing) and we heard all of our friends & family gasp! They were so surprised and everyone was so excited. I want to live in that moment forever! Planning a wedding is hard work and SO much time and effort go into it all of the details.

My best advice would be to let all of your plans and worries go on the day of your wedding. You have worked so hard and spent so much time that everything that can be done has already been done. Everyone always told me how fast the day would go by, but I can not believe how fast it truly went. Let your plans & worries go so you can soak up and enjoy every single last second of your special day, it truly is the best day of your life. I wish I could re-live it over and over again!

Daniel and I both agree that one of the best parts of our ceremony was when our Pastor told us to turn around and look at every single person who was sitting at our ceremony. Seeing all of our favorite people in one spot & how far most people had traveled to witness our marriage was truly overwhelming. Happiness overload. I highly recommend it!

Be appreciative- I can’t explain how much love, support and encouragement I felt not only on our wedding day, but leading up to it as well. Our wedding party/parents/in-laws were unreal, always wanting to help and hear about every detail. They were the best support systems for Daniel and I. We can’t explain how thankful we are for each and every one of them and how much love we have for them.
