Kasey and Melissa were married at the San Diego LDS Temple, right in time for the construction and visible scaffolding around the beautiful structure. Instead of letting that put a damper on their day, these two reminded their guests during their speech at the reception that there was an amazing moment happening inside of the temple, regardless of what was happening on the outside. Such is the personality and attitude of this positive and amazing couple and their family and friends.
We had a great time shooting their wedding, planned flawlessly by Melissa’s own mother, Diane Erickson who runs Eternity Events. There were two ceremonies, the official ceremony inside of the LDS temple and a ring ceremony at the Hyatt for a more public showing of their union. Their personal touches were on every aspect of the wedding, from the lemon theme to the cute table cards made of flowers. They held nothing back when it came to the wedding cakes. Yes, plural! There were cakes of all flavors, beautifully decorated and placed on a few tables taking up an entire corner of the reception hall. I couldn’t help but feel a little envious of the guests enjoying all of that goodness. The night was capped with a great sparkler exit of our couple while the families and friends danced and partied into the late evening.
Thanks everyone for the great time; and we hope you enjoy the images. Also, thanks to Seanny Ma of My Creative Vision for her help second shooting for this event. For more images, don’t forget to check out the slideshow in the post above.

We love using backlight to add a bit of natural desaturation and orange hue to the scene. Here’s our lovely bride looking fondly at her soon-t0-be husband at the Estancia La Jolla ceremony site.
Sometimes the right image for the right moment doesn’t involve any camera tricks, artistic crops, or extreme lighting, as illustrated by this simple portrait of the ring exchange.
Post ceremony hugs are some of the best intimate candid moments.
This cutie just wouldn’t give us that smile, but I’m sure she’ll appreciate this moment years from now when she goes off to college.
Here’s a nice portrait of our newly weds.
The plants at the Estancia La Jolla made for some interesting foregrounds and backgrounds.
