Tuesday - An Elope to Del Mar moment started the day with Marcus and Carol-Anne from Vancouver B.C. A wonderful couple that loved the private cliff location I recommended above Torrey Pines Beach.

Then off to Elope to La Jolla ceremony at sunset with Wendy and Russ, a wonderful couple from Wisconsin who brought along family to share in the moment.

This was the day that the strange fog bank blew in…and I mean blew in and hit us from the south heading north. It was very freaky.. I posted the video I took on my Facebook page if you wish to see it move in on top of our ceremony.

Richard Santini from RHS Photo was on hand to capture the ceremony and I can’t wait to see how the photos he took of the event turn out.

Wednesday – NEW YEAR’S EVE! – A special  Elope to Coronado sunset moment with Dominick and Natalie. She is from the LA area and he is stationed in Miami. They made it just in time for sunset…..

Once again, Richard Santini from RHS Photo was on hand to capture the moment and I just love these reflective shots… Anyone willing to stand in cold ocean water for this kind of shot deserves a little praise right?

I raced home in time to change clothes and load the grandkids for a New Years Eve celebration and fireworks at First Night Escondido. Although on the chilly and damp side, we had a blast! Here is a shot of me and my buddy boy Eden…

Thursday – NEW YEARS DAY! What a great way to start the year with 2 elopements. First with Janet and Roger for a 1 – 1 – 1 Elope to Coronado moment (Jan 1, at 1pm). They brought their family with them from Palm Springs and we stepped out onto the beach for the ceremony. They are an awesome couple and made the first ceremony of 2009 such a delight!

The off to La Jolla for a Sunset Elope to La Jolla moment with Jennifer and Keith. She is from Kansas where she is a pharmaceutical student and he is a law student in Boston. It became very very foggy and cold but they made the best of it with their friends, a wonderful couple from Pasadena.

Friday - Time once again to share with the family as we headed off to the San Diego Wild Animal Park to view the final year of the Festival of Lights. Rumor has it it really is not going away, just moving to its new home at the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park. A chilly and foggy night with coffee and hot cocoa to keep us warm. Eden and his Mr. papa had a blast!

Saturday - A special wedding in Temecula to finish off the week. Kip and Marlene invited family and close friends to witness this moment at a beautiful home in Deluz Canyon of Temecula. It was a wonderful day and although the clouds threatened to dump rain, it remained perfect….

Another wonderful week ahead and this was a wonderful way to start off the new year….

Blessings,

Sunday - The day started with a meeting with Aaron and Tiffany to discuss their celebration next March at the Wedding Bowl in La Jolla. There are a wonderful couple and I look forward to hearing from them. Then off to a destination wedding with Amanda and Seth from Honolulu, Hawaii at Falker Winery in Temecula. This was a wonderful and intimate ceremony with family and friends that made it very special.

Later, another intimate ceremony with Duane and Michelle and the beautiful South Coast Winery and Resort at the Arbor. I just love the small and intimate celebrations….

I had the pleasure to work with Amy Myers of Amy Myers Photography for the first time and look forward to seeing her work.

It was a wonderful week with family and friends for the holiday and I have many elopements for the New Years Holiday…

I wish you all a very safe and blessed 2009 and a BIG thank you to each and every couple that allowed me to share in their lives this past year. I am most honored that you asked me to share in the magic…. I won’t forget you

Blessings,

Monday - The week started with a wonderful family celebration in Temecula with Enzo and luz at the Franchseca’s Italian Restaurant in Temecula. It was a warm and intimate setting with close freiends and family.

I had the chance to work with a wonderful solo sax player.

Tuesday - A mid morning meeting in Oceanside with Brian and Jennifer who are planning their celebration at their family estate in Del Mar next year.

Thursday - A meeting with Danielle to speak about her plans at The Wedding Bowl in February. She wanted a simple elopement but now family wants to travel to share in the moment so she wants to make sure it can all work.

Friday - A TRUE ELOPEMENT! Call the minister, jump in the car and make the moment happen. Just what Jessica and Tony from Albuquerque did! They drove out late Thursday night, picked up their license at the county clerk, checked into their hotel, got ready and raced to the coast for their 2pm Elope to La Jolla moment. I just love these moments…. Richard from RHS photo took care of the photos and as the witness…. I once again forgot my camera but got the moment captured with my cellphone.

Saturday - A confidential Elope to La Jolla moment to complete the weeknd for me. What a beautiful sunset and what a wonderful couple.

God Bless and have a wonderful, festive and blessed Christmas!
