A beautiful day for Ashlen & Thea; made all the more poignant as we celebrated their union the day after the Supreme Court decision on marriage equality.

Their joy, enthusiasm, and unique touches made for a very special wedding ceremony at a private home estate, canyon-side.

“Gayle, Thank you for everything! It was a very nice ceremony and we couldn’t have done it without you! So thank you so very much!” ~Ashlen and Thea

Love is patient and kind .. . .
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, and endures all things

Aaron and Mikela chose this reading from Corinthians to include in their wedding ceremony, and I can’t imagine a bride and groom who better exemplifies these words . . .

Most couples marry with joy and their whole world ahead of them. Aaron and Mikela were put to the test even before sharing their vows.

Wish Upon A Wedding is such an inspired organization, to give celebration where there has been hardship and heartache. This charity truly understands the importance of celebration and joy, and the ritual of a wedding ceremony.

“We want to thank you so much for your services as officiant at our wedding!! What an amazing day!!

You definitely fulfilled your great services on our wedding day. The most memorable part was the personal touch that you added and felt like you really knew us in just that short meeting we had together!
The easy flow of the service and when I stumbled on my words you just played it off and kept everything going. We were so happy to have you as a part of our day!!”

Thank you again, 
Mr. and Mrs. Freudenburg

They are an inspiration and an example of what marriage is all about: sticking by each other, in sickness and in health.
For this I was truly humbled and honored to officiate their March 20 wedding ceremony (first day of Spring!) at the Lomas Santa Fe country club.

Thank you to amazing professional wedding photographer Brant Bender for gorgeous photos!

What a privilege to officiate this August wedding ceremony. These two were so sweet and created a beautiful celebration at Bernardo Winery:

A First Look photo opp before the ceremony is a great way to share an intimate moment, and take a little pressure of the 'big reveal' when she walks down the aisle.

Making it legal! Take a moment when you witnesses sign your marriage license. (using an old wine barrel as a table will do the trick.)

Another beautiful wedding at Twin Oaks Golf Club! (and shoutout to Pamela Spence who makes everything run smoothly at TwinOaks!)

I loved creating this ceremony with Leesa and Gordy, for their June wedding.

They included so many personal touches:

“Gayle you were exactly what we wanted for our wedding: calm, kind, sincere, helpful, authentic, spiritual! Thank you for helping us to write our vows and for helping us to stay calm and centered. . . . You are well-suited for what you do. God gave you a gift!”~ Leesa and Gordy, Twin Oaks Golf Course wedding

And thank you to Tricia Lucia for beautiful photos!

Just before their ceremony begin, two hawks flew directly over their arch. I took that as a great sign!

I just received professional photos for this gorgeous May wedding ceremony! Thank you Katie Jackson – your pics are stunning.

I loved this couple! And officiating their wedding ceremony at the majestic Twin Oaks Golf Course in San Marcos was a treat.

And, thank you to DJ Will Chitwood who handled music and sound for the ceremony with aplomb.

These two were sweet and gracious and really went with the flow.
A few days before their wedding, San Diego had been recently traumatized by wildfires throughout the county, including nearby areas to Twin Oaks.
It was truly a blessing that the fires were finally contained, and we could focus on celebrating new life and true love.
