Akasha and Dan brought effortless style and grace to their wedding day. Their celebration, expertly planned and designed by Laurel and Rose, one of the most sought-after wedding planners on the West Coast, featured a modern aesthetic rooted in natural textures and organic elements. The reception was filled with warm tones, lush florals, and intentional design choices that reflected the couple’s refined taste.

I first met Akasha and Dan during their San Diego engagement session in La Jolla, and instantly connected with their warmth and genuine love for one another. Photographing their engagement session on the cliffs and beaches of La Jolla was such a joy, and I couldn’t wait for the wedding. They are truly some of the kindest, most thoughtful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with—and their friends and family brought such incredible energy to the day.

Capturing these emotional, joyful moments is what I live for as Southern California wedding photographers. From the heartfelt ceremony to the lively dance floor, Akasha and Dan’s wedding was filled with unforgettable memories. I'm so grateful to have been a part of their day and to document this chapter of their love story.
