Capturing Love and Vibrant Florals: A Ritz Carlton Wedding on the California Coast

As a photographer, the Ritz Carlton holds a special place in my heart. Not only is it one of my favorite venues to photograph, but it also offers stunning views of the California coast overlooking the surf. (Side note: It's also a great surf spot that I occasionally indulge in, but that's a story for another day. I made sure not to get too distracted by the surf on this special occasion!)

One of my favorite subjects to photograph is flowers, a passion that has been with me since I first picked up my camera back in 2010. Even today, you'll often find me immersed in fields of flowers or capturing the vibrant hues of fall foliage. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing the superbloom at Anza Borrego State Park, and I can't wait to share those photos later this month.

Back to the wedding at hand, it was truly a dream come true to see Allison's vision of a vibrant floral theme come to life. From the moment she shared her ideas with me, I knew this wedding would be something special. Having live painting artists there added an extra touch of magic to the day, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

As we sift through the countless photos captured on Allison and Kalani's special day, I'm reminded once again why I love what I do. Each image is a testament to the love shared between two people and the beauty of the world around us. Stay tuned for more updates and inspiration from my latest adventures, including the breathtaking superbloom at Anza Borrego State Park. And if you're planning your own special day, consider the Ritz Carlton for a wedding that dreams are made of.
