Bella Collina Wedding

March 29, 2013ย  |ย  Autumn and Michael

Autumn and Michael have definitely had an amazing relationship! Autumn actually booked me during her fiance’s 7 month Naval deployment and was doing most of the planning from their home in San Diego, CA! This destination wedding was going to be a beautiful day of family and friends, and I was honored to be asked to be a part of it!

Autumn and I were definitely on the same page with her classic, elegant style! She wanted things to be relaxed and beautiful, and allowed her family to really savor a rare day all together.

I couldn’t decide which one of Autumn’s TWO Monique Lhuillier gowns I liked better – but the open-back lace was a photographer’s dream!

Enjoy this beautiful wedding and be sure to share your love with our bride and groom in the comments below! They’re freshly back from a dream honeymoon in Bora Bora :) Super jealous!

Autumn and Michael had Neil Lane jewelry, and she had “Home is wherever I’m with you <3” engraved inside his wedding band

Since Autumn and Michael stayed in a beautiful home on Bella Collina’s property, we went back there to start their formal photos.
The grounds are amazing and the perfect private spot to enjoy each other before the reception!
