Talia & Jose picked Green Gables Wedding Estate for their big day, and I had such a blast shooting their beautiful wedding estate! It’s an excellent choice when you are looking for a good-looking venue with everything in one place. It was a great day to have a ceremony outdoors with beautiful views! The landscape creates separation, making each section feel like a separate venue. The old school house was my favorite! The entire day ran smoothly with an incredible team of vendors who all worked together seamlessly.

Yessica & Josh

By Hotel La Valencia • January 12, 2025
Overlooking miles of South California coastline and the Pacific Ocean, La Valencia Hotel has been a glamorous destination since it opened its doors in December 1926. This stunning landmark—The Pink Lady of La Jolla—exudes vintage elegance with its Mediterranean-style architecture, art, and dramatic coastal views. When I arrived at the hotel, I started the day getting some detailed shots of Yessica with her bridesmaids in the bridal suite with Satin Lace Robe, just next to the Veranda Ballroom, where the reception would be hosted. Then I went to the groom’s suite, which was super moody and the perfect size to start getting ready. After hanging with Josh for a few minutes, I headed over to the lobby, balcony, and outside to take a few architectural photos. Yessica & Josh’s Hotel La Valencia wedding was everything they dreamed it would be: heartfelt, timeless, and a total blast celebrating with family and friends! This day was full of smiles and happy tears. I loved Yessica’s V-neck mermaid dress. Josh looked dapper in his black tuxedo. Their oceanfront ceremony was set to impress with a light breeze during a golden sunset. When Yessica, escorted by her father, arrived at the ceremony in Hotel La Valencia, a live String quarter band played three violins and a cello. I’m so grateful to have photographed this amazing day for Yessica and Josh. I wish them joy moving forward in their lives together!
