Wedding: Alex & Georgie | Founders Chapel, CA | Darlington House, CA | Analisa Joy Photography

It’s a little crazy how many photos I blogged from this wedding, but I could barely narrow down my favorites… they are ALL my favorite! I am obsessed with Alex and Georgie’s wedding day and I loved editing their images so I could relive all the special moments. These two have the most genuine hearts and an immense amount of love for their family and friends. They soaked up every moment and still managed to involve their guests in every activity. For their ceremony they tied the knot at their college alma mater USD. They exchanged their vows in Founders Chapel and it was my favorite mass that I have ever attended. Afterwards, we celebrated their reception at the Darlington House in La Jolla. It was my first time visiting the Darlington House and it lived up to its name… it was truly darling! I fell in love with all the antiques and gorgeous details. The library was my personal favorite and I felt like I walked into a scene of Beauty and the Beast! Hanging out with Alex and Georgie made my day effortless and fun because they are the sweetest pair and so madly in love with one another. My camera loved photographing these two and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this amazing couple now that they are husband and wife. Congrats Alex and Georgie!

In love with the Darlington House! I was ready to move in! 

The sweetest girls!

First look with Dad!

In love with those pink details! Real men wear pink!

Founders Chapel at USD is a beautiful church for a ceremony.

His reaction was so precious!

My favorite moment during their ceremony. When everyone grabbed hands and worshiped! 

Sneaking into the “Hogwarts” library. So fun!

This reception site was a photographers dream!

Guests shared their favorite wedding memory so that they can read it on their anniversary.
I loved this idea. So creative and unique!

Baked Bear for Dessert!!!! That was the best.

This cake makes late night editing a struggle!! SO DELICIOUS! 

They wrote a personalized note to EVERY guest. So thoughtful! 

Amazing live band, The Class!

During his toast he made the groom wear a Warriors jersey. He wasn’t pleased! Hilarious!

I snuck my couple away at sunset after dinner. This is always a situation where couples are hesitant about going out for more photos.
They are happy to finally relax, but the extra 10-15min. is so worth it! My absolute favorite time of day to shoot!

We found a floral backdrop that matched the wedding details! Meant to be!

Just when I think I have seen it all, Georgie’s Dad gathered everyone together and surprised her with a personalized song.
SO MANY TEARS!!! Truly, the sweetest thing and not a dry eye in the crowd!
