San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Gabby and Vic

Sometimes you meet someone and their name doesn’t stick: “I thought his name was Mic for 6 months,” Gabby told me about her husband to be, Vic. These two met out and about in Dallas and connected months later, and now as San Diego residents, decided to marry at the San Diego Administration Building before having a larger, destination wedding later.

On the day of their San Diego courthouse wedding, Gabby’s long skirt with the perfect slit and cut outs in her top defined ‘courthouse chic.’ With a gorgeous bouquet from Third Bloom* in hand, her and Vic, with his gorgeous smile, wed, concluding their ceremony with a perfect dip. Congratulations, Gabby and Vic!

*Third Bloom is now Lollia Bloom, which is owned by my former bride, Lori! Small world!

San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Patricia and Marcos

It's just coffee?! Anyone who has dated has likely said this once in their dating life, but when a simple coffee date turns into a DAY LONG date, it's a good sign. This is how Patricia and Marcos' love story began, eventually evolving into an exchange of new interests and hobbies: Patricia opened Marcos' eyes to the symphony and Marcos introduced her to soccer.

When Patricia and Marcos reached out to me to photograph their San Diego civil marriage ceremony, I was thrilled: they were able to get an appointment with the county clerk's office four years and one day upon meeting and would marry at the 'marriage hut' set up by the San Diego Administration Building due to the Covid, an opportunity for those very much in love to still move forward in their plans to wed despite the current pandemic. With the San Diego County Administration Building as our first backdrop, we had an amazing morning documenting wedding photos at Waterfront Park.

Patricia and Marcos, you came looking fly! Absolutely stunning, and you gave me your best energy, which I so appreciate. I can't wait to see what adventures you both get into together! xo, Evelyn

San Diego Courthouse Wedding: Maria and Fausto

When Maria and Fausto reached out to me to photograph their civil marriage ceremony, I was thrilled: Fausto is the cousin of one of my past grooms so we'd previously met and knew he was a complete sweetheart. Combine this with the fact that I absolutely love shooting at Waterfront Park and I knew this afternoon was going to be amazing.

With the San Diego County Administration Building as our backdrop, absolutely stunning Maria and Fausto were all smiles and laughs after their civil marriage ceremony, and Maria's strut in her gorgeous Adriana Lugo wedding dress. Let it be known that a San Diego courthouse wedding is special: an outdoor ceremony with a gorgeous San Diego bay backdrop provides plenty of space for photos.

Fausto and Maria, felicidades y gracias por darme el placer de tomarles sus fotos en su dia de casamiento! Con carino, Evelyn

Thursday Club Wedding: Jacque and James, Part One

Jacque and James came to me knowing what they wanted: a classic wedding with touches of green and gold in their reception decor, plenty of time for them to embrace the moment together, and a raging dance party where every awesome and funny dance move would be documented. Not only did this all align with my values and ideal wedding, but I loved how decisive they were about what they wanted.

Jacque and James' wedding day kicked on stunningly: taking advantage of the Spanish style architecture at Kona Kai Resort San Diego, both Jacque and James got ready on property and had their First Look which they followed up with photos of their bridal party. With a lot of their photos out of the way, we all headed over to The Thursday Club for their ceremony and reception in Part II of their wedding day!
