Grand Del Mar Wedding | JR and Allison
JR will say that the moment he met Allison was a defining moment in his life.
After that, EVERYTHING changed. His heart, his soul, his purpose… it was all wrapped up in this gorgeous, kind, soulful woman.
And man oh man, it shows!
JR and Allison are truly soulmates – their gratitude for having found each other is woven into their daily actions, and their oh-so-in-LOVE hearts are bursting at the seams!
(If you want to read more about their oh-so-romantic love story, I write more about it in their gorgeous engagement session post here!)
Their wedding day at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar was something deeply special – their hearts were insanely grateful and connected to each other.
Their wedding details were ASTOUNDINGLY gorgeous thanks to their incredible vendor team… their wedding planner Victoria Schroeder of Victoria Weddings knocked it out of the park! The florals by Blush Botanicals were ridiiiiiculously amazing, and their band Encore Entertainment brought down the house!
Every little bit of their wedding day was PICTURE. PERFECT.
But here’s the thing… as jaw-dropping as all of their details were, and as fun as it was to photograph everything, that wasn’t the true heart behind JR & Allison’s wedding.
No, instead… as JR waited to see his stunning bride for the first time that day, he said that for him, nothing inside the ballroom would matter as much as the moment he said his vows. The pinnacle of the day for him was the promise they’d be entering into together.
Cue. All. The. Tears!
Let’s dive in – I can’t wait to share this wedding with you!
JR and Allison: Wow wow wow, you two! Your hearts are beautiful, your love is beautiful, and gosh darn it YOU are beautiful! Your wedding was a complete dream, but for us the best part was the way your love radiated so warmly. It left us all glowing!
Hugs,
Erin
