A few weeks ago while I was in SoCal, I met up with one of my good friends Naomi and her husband Kyle out near where they live in San Diego. It’s still so surreal that she lives out there and is no longer a short drive from me, but seeing the beautiful city she now calls home was beyond amazing. Her husband is part of the Navy and is doing extraordinarily well in his job! I remember when the two of them met and being a part of their journey from day one has been so incredible. I photographed their intimate wedding (just the two of them!) at Gervasi Vineyards in April 2016. I miss having my Nomes around, planning nights of going out, Olive Garden dinner dates, and our shopping trips. But I love her “new” life out West, and am so thankful she is hands down the happiest I have ever seen her! <3

Our session took place on Coronado Beach, which was so beautiful! It was my first time ever seeing the West coast and in mid-November, it was just what I needed!
