{real wedding} Kari + Eric

June 25th couldn't have been a more perfect day for a wedding at Franciscan Gardens! Every detail was thought of...touches of citrus in the centerpieces, the Italian pizzelle cookies & biscotti made by the Bride's grandmother, the chalkboard accents throughout, the wedding photos of grandparents & parents. Beauty was everywhere & love was in the air!

I love that my job allows me to meet wonderful people...like the very sweet & very talented Kara Layne. She captured their day beautifully!

Gotta love the yellow shoes...

So much emotion was felt throughout the day...

Miss Kari was stunning in her gown!

Ah, love!

The pair really loves life...
you have to smile just being around them.

Everyone loves a candy buffet!

Lovely details...

I love an exit with sparklers! Congrats you two! So glad I could share in your special day.

I cannot wait for this Saturday! I get to coordinate the wedding of Kari + Eric at the gorgeous Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano. Not only are they a beautiful couple inside & out, their venue is spectacular. Lots of Spanish detail plus beautiful greenery...see for yourself!

Under the pergola is the perfect spot for a King's Table! Love it.
