San Diego Wedding Photography by Carrie McCluskey

Steven and Mari met at work about a year before they got married. They wanted to keep their relationship a secret but soon it was obvious to all around they loved each other. For their wedding, Steven’s family flew all the way from England, Mari’s from Mexico, each family member beaming with excited me for the happy couple. Mari and Steven exchanged their vows during an intimate ceremony at Temecula Creek Inn Stonehouse. The afternoon was warm with breezes and friendly coversation. After dinner, some toasts and a little dancing the guests joined the bride and groom for s’mores by the evening fire.

Janice and Mike had a gorgeous Catholic ceremony at the Founders Chapel at USD followed by a fun, pink and white, reception at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla Aventine.

I love her shoes! The feathers are sexy and very feminine.

I love all the moments before the ceremony. The time just flies by.

Janice’s dad waiting patiently for her arrival.

So many funny moments!

Brianna, Ryan and I had a wonderful time wondering around downtown San Diego taking photographs during their engagement session! We started out at Hotel Solamar to take photos with some of the old brick walls that are still standing in the background. Next we were walking, just exploring, and had to stop in front of Stingaree for the great light. After that we headed over to Cafe Chole and finished up at Petco Park. We left downtown just in time, heading over to OB, to catch the sunset at Sunset Cliffs.

I’m looking forward to photographing Brianna and Ryan’s wedding this summer at Sheraton Harbor Island!
