Kelli & Sean met online in 2008. They chatted for awhile online before ever meeting in person. Their first date was right after Valentine's Day in 2008, and was a challenge to say the least... who goes to the wrong movie theater.

But one date turned into several and they decided to make it official on March 15. They've spent the last 10 years growing together through every challenge and landmark. They've experienced two daughters growing up, two godchildren being born, two graduation ceremonies, our grandson being born and other opportunities for growth and challenge.

On October 19th, 2018 starts another chapter of this love story. They can't wait to experience the endless possibilities!

Scripps pier was the perfect location for Crissy and David's engagement shoot. These San Diego natives grew up in la Jolla but didn't meet until many years later. David is a researcher at UCSD and Crissy is a food blogger. Their love of California, craft beer and the ocean played a part in helping them choose their wedding venue. They'll be tying the knot in February at the UCSD Faculty Club. The natural beauty of the eucalyptus groves will provide the background for their beach inspired, Spanish influenced wedding, complete with Mariachis!

Freshman year at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Nu were paired for Greek Week. Kim and Kevin met because of this and competed together in one of the main Greek Week events: Songfest. (They won, of course) After Freshman year, they would run into each other on campus between classes. Kevin tried to hang out more with Kim, but their schedules never aligned. Senior Year, they both ended up on Pearl Street at the same bar. Finally, Kevin asked Kim on a date and the rest was history!

Last December, Kevin hired a sailboat to take Kim out on the San Diego Bay so that they could take Christmas photos. During the photos as the sun was setting, he surprised her and proposed. After the boat docked, she wanted to call her family and he told her to wait until after dinner so that they could keep celebrating. When they walked into dinner in Little Italy, all of their family and closest friends were there to celebrate. They will be married in November in Palm Desert.

Zach & Emily both attended USD 6 years ago and met during study hall. Eventually Zach got the courage to ask Emily out on a date and decided to take her to Mass at Founders Chapel on campus. Zach secretly took a trip up to Portland, Oregon to ask her parents permission for her hand and then reached out to us to photograph his surprise proposal to Emily at this same chapel that they had their first date! Emily knew a proposal was coming but she didn't know when or where. She was so excited that she couldn't stop asking a million questions on how her new fiance planned the whole thing. We then spent some time taking photos at the chapel as well as in a lit up court yard around the corner that they used to meet for lunch at while attending school. It was such a joy to be a part of such a big moment in Zach & Emily's lives. Congrats Zach & Emily!?

"Alex and Travis eshoot their wedding was at an amazing house in Temecula on 8/9/14. Alex and Travis are the cutest couple that have the cutest story how they met. Alex's mom was cleaning Travis teeth and they got to talking and she said you need to meet my daughter. The rest is like a fairytail. Their fun engagement shoot was done downtown San Diego and then in the bay with a pretty sunset. Holly Ireland Photography"
