Engagement Sessions

Early spring and late winter is when San Diego is at its most beautiful. Trees and flowers are just starting to wake up from their winter's sleep and begin to bloom. Everything is still crisp, bright, and fresh. We've had the opportunity to open up the property for a few couples and their photographers for engagement sessions. Our most recent session was with Dapper Images, who shot Amanda and Andrew's engagement session. Dapper Images has never ceased to impress us with their work. Yasmin and Deshun not only have an eye for their subjects, but they found the perfect setting for each individual shot, and created a beautiful mood between the couple. We were delighted to see the finished photos: professional and charming memories.

Here are a few shots from Amanda and Andrew's shoot:

Rachel and Matt's Destination Wedding

This past week, our dear friends Rachel and Matt were married at our venue. They are one of the first couples to have a destination wedding on our property. Rachel and Matt and most of their family came all the way from New York for a middle-of-the-week wedding! Every few years, Rachel's family gets together for a family reunion, and she was able to turn this year's reunion into a wedding too! Our property was able to accommodate all of her family for a 3 day wedding/reunion experience! 

Here are a few photos of the weekend taken by friends and family members:

We hope to have more pictures coming in from Rachel's brother- a professional photographer who has won many awards including The Knot's "2012 best of weddings." Stay tuned!
