Wedding: David & Kelly | The Ranch at Bandy Canyon, CA| Analisa Joy Photography | San Diego, CA Photographer

I love photographing friends, especially when I have known them since childhood. David is one of the oldest friends that I have. We grew up together and he lived up the street from me. I would electric scooter to his house because I guess I was too lazy to use a regular scooter. Back in the day, he would pick on me, I would annoy him, and I didn’t like him until high school. Long story short, I now love him like a brother and I’m thankful that he found such a special woman to spend the rest of his life with. Kelly is a nurse and she is not only bright, but hilarious! She has an identical twin sister and when you are around them it is always pure comedy. These two need their own reality show because it would be a hit! Kelly is a perfectionist and it showed on her wedding day. The venue, details, schedule, and everything in between turned out better then expected… and that is saying a lot! When I photographed their engagement session, I knew their wedding day would be a dream to capture. These two look like a magazine couple and I’m thankful I was able to freeze candid moments throughout their big day. Congrats David and Kelly!

Gorgeous! 

Kelly walked into her getting ready room and was surprised with a beautiful bouquet of roses and necklaces from David. So sweet!

Drinking a Corona before she officially becomes, Mrs. Corona! 

I told Kelly that I found a beautiful shooting location, but it was a bit of a walk and more on the nature side.
She grabbed her train and told me she was up for anything if it meant a great photo! Dream bride!

Flawless!

Family love! 

I love how silly groomsmen get during their individuals. These guys really took advantage of it! So fun!

Doesn’t this look like a movie poster?

David made that cross! Such a perfect detail for their ceremony.

Kelly and I instantly clicked with our shared love for Harry Potter and Celine Dion. She even walked down to a Celine Dion song. We were destined to be friends.

I was obsessed with the bridesmaids hair! So creative!

Check out that dip!

We didn’t want to be late to the reception and David knew it would take awhile to walk through gravel with heels.
Rather then making her take them off, he fireman carried her to our next spot.

A gourmet cookie buffet with milk (regular, chocolate, and strawberry).
This was by far my favorite dessert table! 

This was such fun dance floor! 

Twin sisters… they even do the same dance moves! 

These three were roommates. They call themselves, “Team Babe.”

Bouquet toss! 

HAHA! This garter toss was hilarious.
