Escondido, CA
You can’t spell sweet without Eli and Ara! Okay – if you take it literally, you CAN spell s-w-e-e-t without our rockstar couple’s names – BUT… I dare you to find a sweeter, kinder couple. It makes my day easy when you get to work with such gems like you two… Your love for each other and commitment to place God at the center of your marriage beams from you both – it is influential AND infectious. Thank you both for that… and thank you for trusting Vaness and I with your special day, being so patient with us
You have truly been the best! Well – without further delay! Starting with the location we spent our day in – the Escondido Center for the Arts! - Awesome setting
Enjoy!

Ara – calm, cool, collected – so relaxed
You did well my friend!




Love all the reactions from the pre-wedding gift exchange they shared![]()









Prayer moments with each group and we’re off to the ceremony![]()

Eli sneakin’ a peak around the corner before he made his way to the altar with his parents…







The first kiss – a quintessential moment of wedding day, but in the details is my favorite in-between moment – that little split-minute right after the first kiss…



Bridal party with a short bit before we spent some time on the newly-wed session![]()





If you remember a while back, their personalities come out so well in their e-session! and exhibit B is below![]()


In between a few romantic shots, a bit more fun was splashed in via A+E request![]()



Onto the reception – grand entrance and first dance! A Disney Winter-wonderland![]()


To bring out their overall theme – great details, colors, and thoughtfulness all around…











With the cake, Eli and Ara’s best cake-topper impression![]()






Just one shot before our grand finale – a grand exit
Made for a few awesome moments!


Eli and Ara – we pray for the best for your marriage! May God continue to bless you both and your path ahead! Here is to the good life together!!
