“Thank you so much for everything! You definitely fulfilled the service and did an amazing job! The most memorable parts of the ceremony for me:
-when you said some of the things we love about each other, noted from our first meeting
-when you asked us to take a moment to look around and soak it all in, loved this
Our first meeting was memorable too. I was having a minor panic changing our officiant at such late notice and by the end of our meeting I was so relieved. I remember you saying how much you love your job and for me, that was really wonderful to hear. You will always be a part of our wedding memories and we are so thankful to have had you.” ~ Best, Tiffany
A sunny September day by the sea! Tiffany and Andrew were so sweet and so clearly in love! It was so fun to work with these two, as they included so many personal touches in their ceremony:
~A friend to read a favorite scripture
~A ring warming
~Petal toss for the recessional
And what a great wedding team they had, led by the fantastic Paige Jensen of Bliss Events.
Gratitude to Aubree Lynn Photography for capturing the day so beautifully
Seagrove Park in Del Mar offers sweeping views and wide open spaces: a special location for a beautiful wedding ceremony
Majestic views bordered by beautiful pines
A clever and fun alternative to a ceremony program: A welcome and wedding party members listed on an oversized mirror! While reading the wedding party names, guests can fix their hair, too!
Not much decor was needed at this stunning setting, and delicate florals added a simple touch
These market umbrellas bring such relief of shade to the guests in the bright sun and heat
A petal toss is a sweet and natural way for guests to create a fun sendoff as the newlyweds walk back up the aisle
Even though the ceremony was by the ocean, it was a blazingly hot summer day. Offering refreshingly flavored water to their guests shows what a thoughtful conscientious couple these two are!
These violinists of Sensational Music Services were fantastic and their dulcet tones swept across the guests and created such a sacred and uplifting atmosphere
As the first one down the aisle I have the joy of watching the entire wedding party processional
So sweet! Little ones are always a wild card and bring such sweet innocence to the ceremony

Both sets of parents had been married more than 30 years – Tiffany and Andrew honored this testament to love & commitment by displaying their parents’ wedding photos
The groom escorts his mother and grandmother down the aisle
Can you see where she got her smile? Much joy as Dad escorts his daughter down the aisle
Though the petal toss was supposed to take place at the end of the ceremony, one guest couldn’t hold back their enthusiasm! I love this “mistake” as it added to the joy of father escorting his daughter
Sweet goodbye
I always love this moment in a ceremony, when Dad hugs it out with the groom. It’s sometimes awkward or funny but always touching.
I should have brought a stepstool . . .
The bride’s cousin read from Colossians: “And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. . . .”
Ring Warming: Guests bless the wedding rings before the ring exchange. This is a beautiful way for all guests to participate and think warm wonderful wishes for the couple. The rings started with the bridesmaids in a small velvet pouch before making their way through every row of guests
“I Do!”
The rings have made their way back to the groomsmen and to the best man, who hands them over to me for a final blessing before the ring exchange “These rings are now warmed with the love and good wishes of your community.”
“With this ring . . . “
“I now pronounce you . . . “
“You may kiss the bride”
Presenting Mr. & Mrs.!
Happily married, Showered with petals
