Ever since I did Michelle & Joe’s engagement photos last summer, I had been eagerly looking forward to their wedding day at The Darlington House in La Jolla, CA. These two are not only a GORGEOUS couple, they are a beautiful example of Christ’s love. The couple was introduced to us by our own wedding videographer, who has become a close friend. Jason & Mary of At Last Wedding Films are always such a pleasure to work with and they knocked it out of the park with their surprise same day edit for the couple. Jason is a close friend of Joe’s and groomsman, so before he played the video, he joked of how he included embarrassing moments and stories from ex-girlfriends. Come to find out, Michelle was actually Joe’s very first relationship and one and only love of his life. How special is that?! <3

Their first look was one of the most touching moments on a wedding day I have ever photographed. Joe broke down in tears the moment he saw his breath-taking bride and they embraced one another, as they looked forward to finally starting their journey of marriage together. They prayed together and it literally brought me to tears as I thought about how blessed they are to have found one another and how amazing it is to see couples put God as the foundation of their relationship. Joe talked about how Michelle had been the woman he had always prayed for and how she was a beautiful example of a Proverbs 31 woman.

Michelle and Joe’s wedding could not have been any more perfect. It was such an honor to photograph their beautiful wedding day and I’m so happy for the love their share and the future they are starting together. Enjoy some of my favorites from their unforgettable wedding day!
