Aubrey + Sean’s Heritage Park Wedding

A beautiful Valentine’s Day wedding in a quaint, historic neighborhood could only be made more perfect with the marriage of two great people from excellent families.  We had the pleasure of covering just such an event last month.

The day entire day took place in and amongst these great, Victorian buildings in Old Town San Diego.

The Jewish Temple was a great setting for Aubrey and her girls as they got ready for the day.

Meanwhile, Sean waited patiently to lay eyes on his bride.

I love the simplicity of this building.  And the girls took advantage of all the great light it provided.

Aubrey was ready to knock ’em dead.

The best part of the day is almost always the First Look…

Though this is the first time the reveal was accompanied with a pinch!

That porch was just begging for a formal photo.

  Is that the face a woman ready to get married?  I think yes!

And a few steps away is where the big event was planned.

Even before the ceremony we saw another family we’ve grown to love through the years.  The McKeys have given us the pleasure of shooting both daughters’ weddings.

Singing with their guests – just like Aubrey sisters’ wedding.  Love it.

I’ve got a long-standing crush on candid photos taken right after the recession.

Some of our favorite receptions are guest-centric, informal, relaxed events.  This was definitely one of those.

They wanted to make sure to have some photos with the trees.  It seems our goals were nicely in sync. 🙂
