From Pinterest to Presidio: Alyssa & Ryo’s Dreamy Wedding


Alyssa & Ryo’s small San Diego ceremony at Presidio Park was intimate, beautiful, and full of personal touches—my favorite kind of wedding day. With just their parents present and the ever-wonderful Kristin from Intimate Ceremonies officiating, the focus was entirely on love, family, and connection.


Afterward, we headed up to the Junípero Serra Museum for portraits (which, fun fact, is where I got married!), so shooting there always hits different. Alyssa came in with a Pinterest board full of inspiration—twirls, dips, dreamy light, and lush greenery—and we brought every bit of that vision to life. As a San Diego wedding photographer, moments like these—when the light is GOLDEN, the emotions are REAL, and the couple is fully in it—are why I do what I do.
