MILITARY MONDAYS – Another great way to start the week! Michael and Silky enjoyed their moment at Sunset in La Jolla with family and friends on hand to help share in the magic. It was one of those magic moments by adding a few of my Hero’s like Francesca, the solo violinist from Caprice Strings, Rob Andrew Photography and a beautiful bouquet created and donated by Katrina O’Donnell Custom Florals. Thank you everyone for being part of the magic and Thank you Michael for your service to our country!

Military Mondays™ is just a small way for me to give back to our hero’s by offer free elopement services to any and all full time active military every Monday. I also ask local wedding professionals to help me serve those that serve us by donating their time and talents to these wonderful couples. Photographers, Videographers, Florists and Musicians. Each one of these professionals gives so much and I am humbled and grateful for their participation. for more information, please visit http://www.freemilitaryelopement.com

TUESDAY – A wonderful day on  Coronado Island. First, a mid day Elope to Coronado celebration with Erin  and Michael, a wonderful couple from San Francisco!

Then at Sunset, I had the pleasure to share in the Elope to Coronado celebration with Lyndsey and Nathan. She is from TN and he is stationed at TwentyNine Palms.

FRIDAY – One of the best ways to kick off a Holiday weekend… 3 celebrations back on Coronado Island! First, the Elope to Coronado celebration of Larry and Annette. A wonderful couple for AZ that wanted to make their moment happen, feet in the sand along the ocean rather than the desert! I agree, much better…

Then, the Elope to Coronado Vow Renewal celebration of Jonathan and Marisa. They are celebrating their 5th year and plan on doing this every 5 years at a different beach. I think this is an awesome way to keep the magic of the moment alive!

Then, a private and confidential Elope to Coronado celebration. Jason and Kristina are a wonderful couple that have been together for so long, they are so meant to be!
