Oh glorious wedding at Grand Tradition Arbor Terrace!!!

Wow how I loved THIS venue!!! The Grand Tradition to me has always meant traditional, gazebo, white swan, riding in on a white horse type of wedding. Carrie invited me along on this wedding of Mike and Heidi and I have to admit I’m not one for the traditional photography….nope not at all….I’ll do it, but I’ll be pouting inside. Oh was I in for a surprise!!!! Turns out, the Grand Tradition had a little something for everyone! Who knew there was a tropical oasis in the middle of the desert in Fallbrook, Ca?? It looked and felt like Discovery Cove (where I used to work), just without the dolphins.

It was beautifully landscaped with waterfalls and everything!!!!

The wedding cake at the Darlington House was simple but yet so elegant. Erin has great taste.

This is Erin’s father waiting for his turn. I have to say it was a sweet first dance. You could really see how much these two love each other.

Admiral Kidd Club wedding

Carrie McCluskey invited me along to shoot the wedding of Heather and Rob at Admiral Kidd Club. These two are quite the jet setters and have traveled ALL over the world. Oh, the stories they must have!!! I, unfortunately, only got to spend one day with them. I would love to hear all about this amazing world we live in.
I really NEED to travel more…life is short AND THERE”S SO MUCH TO SEE!!!!

I was SO incredibly impressed by the flowers in this wedding!!! They were designed by the one and only Shirley Vinlaun. As you can see, they are all stunning! If you would like to get a hold of Shirley, feel free to call her at 858.663.8812.
