On a cliff overlooking the Pacific, Robin and Emily gathered family and friends from across the oceans to celebrate with them. At UCSD’s Martin Johnson House in La Jolla they held their wedding ceremony and reception.  Emily had planned a fiesta themed wedding with beautiful bright oranges, greens, blues and yellows as well as Mexican favorites catered by Continental Catering.

The morning started off raining, and I actually woke up around 4:00am to the sound of rain outside my window, a rarity now that I’m here in ‘Sunny San Diego’! I couldn’t shake the thought that I’d had so many lucky days back East where it was supposed to rain, but cleared just in time for the ground to dry for the outside ceremony or just as we were ready shoot formals of the bride and groom, that perhaps I was getting rained out on my first wedding in San Diego.  Gladly by noon, the morning clouds had passed, and the skies cleared.  By 3:00 when Kristy and I arrived the weather was typical San Diego nice!

There was a ton of emotion during the day from friends and family members and you could tell, as Robin said in his toast to guests, how thankful they were that both families had come from so far to celebrate with, support and share their love for Robin and Emily.

Susan called me out on not having any Hispanic couples in my portfolio. Before I left Maryland, I found these cool buttons to give to them at our shoot. Thanks for being such a great couple! Congratulations on your engagement and I wish you all the best – Kristy and I will definitely look you up for drinks when we get into town permanently!
