Katherine and Clayton’s wedding day was one of those celebrations that felt beautiful from beginning to end. They exchanged vows inside the breathtaking Immaculata Catholic Church before continuing the celebration at Rancho Bernardo Inn.
One of my favorite moments of the day was when Clayton brought out his vintage Mustang for portraits. We timed it perfectly with the setting sun, creating some incredible images with the car before wandering the grounds of Rancho Bernardo Inn for a few more quiet portraits together in that beautiful golden light.
There was something so effortless and genuine about the two of them. The way they laughed, the way they looked at each other, and how completely present they were throughout the day.
After all these years of photographing weddings, it’s couples like Katherine and Clayton who remind me why I fell in love with this work in the first place. Getting to preserve days like this, and the little moments within them, is something I’ll never take for granted.
