Quincey & John | Married

Quincey is my gorgeous California bride now living in Michigan. I knew that her wedding was going to be over-the-top beautiful from the moment that she contacted me! We both love a soft, and romantic look and she chose peach accents with her makeup that really popped on her and complimented her overall vibe.

For hair, we did a half up, half down look with lots of volume and a fun twist in the back! Her cathedral veil couldn't have been more perfect to complete the uber-elegant look.

I had a hard time picking my favorite photos and moments from her day. Check out all of the dreaminess below and the fabulous San Diego vendors!

Sarah & Jay | Married

Everything about Sarah & Jay's chic, downtown wedding was stunning, and every last detail was well thought out and total perfection!

Sarah came to the trial with some edgy, yet clean and modern looks in mind and we both immediately loved the idea of a literal twist on the classic pony and a bold eye to show off Sarah's gorgeous brown eyes. Her look was a great choice for her short lace dress that had a classic feel with a bit of a retro vibe.

I couldn't have asked for a better bride or team of vendors! I adore everything about this day! xoxo

Alison & Steve | Married

It was so much fun getting to be a part of Alison and Steve's Monday afternoon elopement! This was such an intimate and sweet day for just the two of them to be married and explore San Diego and all of their favorite places! I loved the bold makeup and soft, romantic hair that Alison chose.

She had her wonderful photography team come along to my studio that morning to document the day! We even did an impromtu Facebook Live makeup tutorial while she got ready to include her friends and family on one of the most important days of her life!

I adore the photos and the sheer joy and fun that they had making the day completely about them. This is true love at it's finest and what marriage is all about! xoxo

Elopement | Published

This edgy elopement shoot was featured this week on one of my favorite wedding blogs, 100 Layer Cake! 

I loved styling this edgy elopement look with a custom veil that I made especially for this shoot. I found the gorgeous lace wedding gown on Asos, and wanted to show off Nikki's gorgeous, fair skin with a smokey eye and bright red lip!

Sabrina & Christopher | Married

There are some people that immediately light up a room and have pure joy that radiates from them. Sabrina is one of those people and I loved getting to know her and sweet family and friends who traveled from New York & Germany to get married on Mission Bay! Sabrina wanted a bold makeup look and it was stunning on her. She chose a beautiful combination of corals and navy to accentuate her blue eyes! She reminded me so much of Kate Middleton!

It was a gorgeous day filled with so much love and happiness and I know they will have a million more days that are filled with the same. Many congrats to the beautiful couple! xoxo

Nadia & Bryce | Married

Nadia is one of those brides who just oozes style without even trying! I knew her wedding was going to be amazing from the moment that I met her and loved everything about her look. She wasn't afraid to be herself and let her wedding day be a reflection of her incredible style and fashion sense. The gorgeous palette of lavender mixed with bright hues, bold lips and a flower crown were flawless! Check out her beautiful day and the pure joy of being married!

Lauren & Dennis | Married

I'm excited to be back to my blog after taking some time to be with a new addition to our family! We welcomed a baby boy to the Thorne Artistry home front and we couldn't be more thrilled! I'm also thrilled that my first blog back is a wedding that I loved loved being a part of!

I had the privilege of working with Lauren twice before her actual wedding day! Once, for her engagement photos, and again when I did the hair and makeup for her best friends wedding when she was a bridesmaid! Her wedding was just as gorgeous as I knew it would be! I'm also incredibly thankful that Lauren trusted me enough to figure out her wedding hair on the fly on her actual wedding day without a trial! It turned out to be one of my favorites to date!! The amazing team of vendors and friends made it feel like a big reunion and fun celebration all day!

Sarah & Danny | Married

Sarah was a complete joy to work with! She felt like a long lost friend and I loved spending her wedding morning with her, and her mom and sister getting ready at my studio. Sarah planned her destination wedding from Massachusetts so the first time that we met was just days before her wedding, but it felt like I already knew her. Her destination wedding in Balboa park was so beautiful and intimate and I was so excited to see these stunning photos of her day!

Kelli & Nick | Engaged

When Kelli contacted me about doing her hair and makeup for her engagement shoot I was originally booked. When she told me her vision I was incredibly sad that I wouldn't be able to do it. I must have willed it to happen or the stars were perfectly aligned that day, because my photo shoot that I originally had got rescheduled and I was so happy that she hadn't found someone else! 

This shoot is so incredibly romantic and what engagements should feel like. Kelli wanted a very natural look that was clean and whimsical. She said she wanted it to look glowy and fairy-like:) I loved how everything turned out and am so happy for this beautiful couple!

Kristyn & Julio | Married

This couple is the definition of fun, and their love for each other and life is contagious! How many people get married at Petco Park during a baseball game!? That's just a small glimpse into the beautiful and heartfelt wedding day that I was so happy to see first hand. Here are some highlights from their incredible wedding day that the world also got to see on the jumbotron! Love it!

Brenda & Drew | Married

This turned out to be such an incedibly beautiful wedding! I was so worried for Brenda & Drew getting married outside on the hottest day San Diego has had in a long time! It was easily over 100 degrees and we got everyone ready in a place with no AC!! It was brutal. This is why I am a big believer in using the best products possible like airbrush. I was so happy to see that Brenda's hair and makeup stayed all day and night..yay! I loved her tropical vibe with a twist of a retro feel. So perfect for the Japanese Friendship garden! Here are some favorite moments!

Alison & Dylan | Maternity

It's always fun to style maternity sessions and to meet mamas-to-be! It's the same feeling that I love about weddings: getting to celebrate one of the best moments in life and being a part of the happiness that everyone is feeling! Alison was absolutely glowing and she was such a trooper driving all the way from L.A. (that's pretty remarkable when you're 35 wks pregnant with twins!!!). Her doctor gave her the okay and she was excited to do a photo shoot to capture this incredible moment in time! I can't wait to see all of the squishy baby photos to come in just a few short weeks! Best wishes to this beautiful family! xo

Abby & Mike | Married

There are some people that you just connect with instantly, and I felt that way when I met Abby and her sweet mom at her trial appointment. We laughed and dished about her upcoming wedding and the actual wedding day was just as fun! Her whole party was amazing and just as fun, and I got to spend the entire day with them for photos at Balboa Park. Here are some of my favorites from the day! I had a hard time choosing!

Kristine & Brock | Married

Kristine was so much fun and her mom had me laughing the entire morning of her wedding day! I love getting to witness close familes and friends coming together to celebrate such an incredible day in life! Thank you for letting me be a small part of your happy moment! xo

Working with other creatives in the wedding industry is something that I absolutely love doing. I designed this shoot with Bustle Events and The Hearts Haven. We decided to do a giveaway on Instagram and give a fully styled photo shoot to one lucky engaged couple. Anna & Derek were our winners and we had so much fun roadtripping to the desert to capture their photo shoot before their wedding day! It was icing on the cake to have our shoot published by a favorite wedding blog. See the full shoot here on 100 Layer Cake!

Erin & Wayne | Married

I love when I get to work with an amazing bride and also some of my favorite wedding vendors too! Erin and Wayne had the most classically beautiful wedding with so much love surrounding them. It's always an honor getting to be a part of such a happy moment. Their gorgeous wedding was published in this month's issue of Exquisite Weddings magazine and Erin & Wayne are now getting prepared to celebrate another beautiful moment awaiting the arrival of their first baby! Congrats, you two!  :)
