Had an Elope to San Diego elopement Wednesday (the day after Christmas) in Balboa Park. This was a lot of fun for me as I like the “Let’s go and find a secluded spot in the park” weddings. I took them to the tropical garden trail in the ravine and it was just perfect. I once again forgot my little digital camera but Chad from Chad Nelson Photography that the couple used was quick to send me a photo to add to this blog…Chad Rocks! I love the way this picture looks as it looks as if we are actually in another country…..I love Balboa Park as they have everything….

Thursday I met with Kirt and Michelle in Temecula to discuss their plans for their wedding day at Falkner Winery in April. They were fun to share time with over coffee and when that evening I received an email that they wanted me to share in their special day, I am most honored when that happens.

Friday was a last minute Elope to La Jolla sunset elopement with Larry and Maria along with their children.

Saturday I met with John and Lisa to discuss their Ceremony in March at Poway Lake. They are trying to make everything come together from out of the area. Her Mother Jackie lives here and is also helping. Lisa is in New Mexico and John is in Maryland. I received an email on Sunday that they don’t want to interview any other Officiants…they asked that I preside over their ceremony, I am most honored!

Sunday was a little down time and also time to prepare for the New Year.

May each one of you be blessed with his love and also be blessed with a healthy and prosperous 2008!

Since the birth of my brand spakin’ new grand-baby Saffron, I have had zero access to my small digital camera so I do not have photos of my weddings but will speak about them….

Friday - An Elope to Coronado sunset elopement on the beach in front of the Hotel Del with Katie and Michael from Arizona on Friday. It was raining all day and when I met with my couple, the rain stopped and we we made our way out to the Coronado beach, the sun came out….Amazing! I worked with Lisa from Focus On U Photography and this was the first time since I married her and her hubby at the Twin Oaks Resort back on October 20th. (Story and pics HERE from Lisa and Christopher’s wedding)

Saturday - Two weddings back to back for me; first, another Elope to Coronado Elopement and just like Friday, the rain held off long enough for a great moment. Emari and John were from San Jose and brought along a few friends for thhe special moment….I worked with Chad Nelson Photography. He and his wife had just returned from a….. get this…… a 3 month honeymoon!

UPDATE 12/14: Chad was cool enough to send me a photo from this elopement….Thanks Chad!

I jumped in my car to get to the end of La Costa in time for a 6pm private ceremony at the couple’s rec center. Patty and Bob are an awesome couple and I had such a great time working with them preparing for this special moment. The weather cooperated right up to the very moment the ceremony started. We even tried to take a moment to all hide until we though tit was safe only to have the bride “Call it” and we all raced inside where the reception was to be help, stood in front of the burning fireplace and shared the moment by candle light amongst friends and family. I love this when it happens as it brings everyone together and it is a day no one will soon forget. Of course, rain on your wedding day is a blessing……

I hope to have photos to post here soon…..most of all, I hope to get my camera back…LOL
