Wedding: Erik & Kristin | Mt. Woodson Castle, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | San Diego, CA Photographer

I don’t even know where to begin when talking about Erik and Kristen so I’m going to start at the end. After their wedding, Chelsea and I got into our car and agreed that these were some of the nicest people that we have ever photographed. The couple, the families, and the guests went above and beyond to make everyone feel cared for and welcomed. It was a day filled with a lot of happy tears and joyful celebration (my favorite combination). It was so much fun to capture the genuine excitement that everyone shared to watch these two tie the knot. Their day flowed effortlessly from start to finish and I would love to give a shout out to their coordinator Iman for helping make that possible. I can’t wait to show you all my favorites; there is quite the handful! Enjoy!

Opening a gift from her groom. Customized Nikes! 

This will be one of my all time favorite wedding stories. When this groomsmen arrived, he opened up his shoe box and found two left shoes. He asked me if he had time to run out and buy a new pair and hurried to a nearby store. When he came back, he walked into the room and held his new shoes up in victory. However, when we placed them side by side we all noticed that he was once again given two left shoes. This story still makes me laugh out loud.

I loved the superhero socks!
