Wedding: Dana & Ashley | The Crossings, Carlsbad, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | Upland, CA Photographer

I could not stop raving to my husband about Dana and Ashley’s wedding. I have never been surrounded by so many kind people. As a vendor, I felt so welcomed and loved by this sweet couple and all their guests. Dana and Ashley had the best timeline and their entire day flowed with such ease. For the first time I was able to photograph the couple, the bridal party and both set of families (with wiggle room to spare) PRIOR to the ceremony. Everyone was relaxed and truly enjoying the day. We even found time to head to the beach and enjoy the sunny and 75 degree day. The ceremony was beautiful and their reception was one of the most memorable yet. They had a couples dance where they release couples after being married for an “X” amount of years. When they got up to 40 years, the dance floor was STILL full! I have never seen so many married couples at a wedding. It was so encouraging and inspiring. It made me happy to know that this amazing couples was surrounded by so many great examples of love. I felt so blessed to be a part of such a special day. Congrats Dana and Ashley!
