The first time I met Mara + David was on their wedding day! They came all the way from New York City for their wedding day! Since Mara is a Southern California native they decided to hold the wedding in Escondido at Mara's parents' beautiful nursery. What a lovely venue! The nursery (Oasis Water Efficient Gardens) was full of succulents and orange trees, Justin and I had so much fun working with the available surroundings!
Mara + David were such a fun unique couple, every detail about their day was so well thought out and matched Mara + David so well!
I had to start this entry off with my favorite shot of the day! It just felt appropriate!:)
My favorite detail of the day: Mara's bouquet!!! Great job to Robyn from My Fair Flowers for making this and for coordinating the wedding day!
One amazing element that really set the tone for all the guests as they arrived were the conga drummers! I could here the drums throughout the entire nursery and it added such a wonderful energy to the wedding day!
Instead of a "cake cutting" there was a cake piñata! Brilliant!

I've been looking forward to Jay + Marissa's wedding for quite some time...especially since it was the first wedding Justin and I shot in 2012, starting our wedding season off with a fantastic day! Luckily for me, I've been able to take a few months off to spend time with my kids, but I'm super excited to be back in the game again!
Love that mom and dad snuck in a hug and a kiss before walking down the aisle with Marissa.
Pure joy!:)
It's only appropriate that Jay had Yo Gabba Gabba! Vans on for his wedding, the Director of Photography for YGG had to represent!:) Plus, Jay + Marissa met on the set of Yo Gabba Gabba, so it made perfect sense to add in this small detail!
My favorite item of the day: Since Jay + Marissa aren't huge fans of dessert they opted to have a cheese wheel "cake" instead, I thought it was brilliant!
My favorite shot of the day!
The "cake" cutting.
Here is what they served to all the guests after dinner!
A snapshot of us! I'm super lucky and blessed to have my favorite person and best friend shooting with me! I love you Justin Lyon;)
Marissa and her father stealing a dance!
Of course Marissa had her own pair of Yo Gabba Gabba! shoes to dance in!
When Justin and I arrived at the Santa Margarita Ranch we were squealing (well, I was at least, Justin was just happy) with excitement to 1. work with Jay + Marissa on their wedding day and 2. photograph this lovely bride and groom at such an AWESOME venue! We loved it!!
Love that mom and dad snuck in a hug and a kiss before walking down the aisle with Marissa.
Pure joy!:)

When I read other blogs with this many images, I think "TOOOO MAAANY!" When I read yours, I get to the end, and I'm sad it's over. You and Justin are ridiculous. I mean...just awesome. I appreciate you two pouring into me (and 20-ish other people) last year at the Lyon Shop. I also need to tell you how much I appreciate the way you love your kids. Really, really. I wish I lived nearby so that I could soak it up (and totally adopt you as my mom-mentor) once I have little kiddos. I suppose instagram will have to do. :) Anyways...totally random post but felt like I needed to share this with you today. Hope you're having a happy SoCal Friday! Again - these images rock my face off.
