Hey friends!
A couple weeks ago, I had the complete honor of photographing Lydia + Gene’s wedding at Luce Loft in San Diego! This place has been on my photography bucket list and I couldn’t have picked better first couple to get to photograph there!
These two are so sweet, grounded and kind. They made it so apparent that they value their faith and their family so much, which I absolutely loved. These images do a really great job at explaining themselves *pats self on back*, so I’ll shut up and let these photos tell the story!

Before their first look, Lydia and Gene deiced to read their vows from each other privately. I love this.

First looks are my favorite. Yes, it means you get more photos, but at the end of the day, it’s one the only moments of the wedding that you get to spend alone with your soon to be husband or wife. You can just see how much these two loosened up after seeing one another. It’s really a great stress reliever!

It’s not often that I get to shoot in an urban setting. It definitely comes with it’s challenges, but it’s soooo worth it.
