A Joyful, Energetic Wedding at Flora in San Diego
Flora in San Diego is a venue that seems made for love stories, and this wedding was no exception. When I arrived to document this fun wedding at Flora in San Diego, I could feel the anticipation buzzing in the air. This couple’s vision came to life in the most thoughtful and vibrant way, making their day unforgettable.
One of the most breathtaking elements of the wedding was the origami crane installation. In Japanese culture, folding 1,000 cranes symbolizes good luck, longevity, and happiness. These delicate paper cranes, lovingly crafted by the bride’s mom and other family members, hung gracefully as a centerpiece for the ceremony and reception. It was a perfect mix of tradition and artistry, and it reflected the couple’s deep connection to their roots.
Adding to the unique ambiance, the couple requested their guests wear a neutral and earthy color palette—cream, black, tan, and green. The coordinated colors created a chic, cohesive look that complemented Flora’s lush greenery and modern design. I loved how these details tied everything together so seamlessly, setting the stage for a day filled with style, love, and laughter.
Documenting the Fun
As a wedding photographer, my favorite part of the day is always finding and capturing the fun. And wow, the dance floor at this fun wedding at Flora in San Diego was alive! From the first beat of the music, guests brought unmatched energy, creating moments of pure joy and spontaneity. Everyone—from the kids falling asleep at the ceremony to the grooms sister doing the worm—joined in the celebration. Documenting those big, heartfelt moments is what I live for, and this crowd made it easy.
Fly-on-the-Wall Meets Natural Posing
This couple was so excited to capture their wedding with a mix of styles. They wanted a documentary approach to highlight the genuine, candid energy of their day but also valued having those timeless posed portraits with family and friends.
During the day, I worked in my signature fly-on-the-wall style, blending into the background to capture moments as they unfolded. But I also stepped in when needed, especially during portraits. If you feel a little awkward in front of the camera (and let’s face it, who doesn’t sometimes?), I’m here to guide you. For this couple, I posed them in ways that felt natural and relaxed while reflecting their personalities. My goal is always to make the experience as fun and easy as possible for every couple.
The Power of Connection
Having the chance to connect with this couple during their engagement session made all the difference on the wedding day. We got to know each other, and they became comfortable in front of the camera. By the time the big day arrived, I felt like an old friend, and they trusted me to document every heartfelt moment authentically.
If you’re planning a wedding that’s full of energy, joy, and meaningful details like this fun wedding at Flora in San Diego, I’d love to be there to document it. Whether it’s 1,000 origami cranes, a lively dance floor, or a quiet, stolen moment between you and your partner, I’ll be there to capture the moments that matter most.
Let’s make your wedding memories as timeless as they are fun!
