Last year, I photographed a couple by the name of Tara & Noah (Check out their Temecula wedding photos here). I actually met Tara through Chelsea & her father Kenny (two Chiropractors I’ve known for over a decade!), so this was truly an honor for me document Chelsea’s wedding.

I arrived at Chelsea’s father’s home in San Diego early to scout the location, see where I could take them for portraits, and take a few behind the scenes photo I thought they might like. I photographed Chelsea, her sisters, and her remaining bridesmaids getting ready and hanging around the house, and before Tom and the boys arrived, I took some portraits of the girls. Once the guys arrived, Chelsea & Tom had a private first look followed by a few portraits before the ceremony.

Once the ceremony finished, these guys wasted no time in popping champagne and celebrating with their friends! We finished up some portraits, Chelsea and Tom enjoyed cocktail hour, and the day quickly faded into night where they had an epic dance party.

For photographers: I used a 14-24mm, 24-70mm, 35mm, 45mm, 58mm, and 85mm on a Nikon D5 & Nikon D850. I also used Flashpoint R2 flashes for the reception with MagMod modifiers.

Enjoy!
