Alex and Aria’s story starts off with cupid, Ok Ok Cupid! Alejandro first saw Aria's profile and was scrolling through. Under her '6 things you would never would be able to live with out' category he saw that she wittingly put air. What a perfect way to start the conversation. So Alejandro sent a message to Aria that day writing 'Dude! You like air? So do I!', Aria must admit it was definitely an original message, so she responded and the camaraderie started from there. They became friends and talked all the time online until Aria decided it was time for a 'phone date'. They hit it off on the phone just as much as they had texting. They met at Grossmont center ( as friends!) and grabbed dinner together and when they didn't want it to end they went to Barnes and Noble and talked about their favorite books, philosophy for Alejandro and Sci Fi novels for Aria. They both agree looking back now that night was the start of something special. Alex and Aria are super open with each other! They also really appreciate being able to talk about anything, nothing is ever off limits. Alex and Aria can be their true selves around each other and encourage each other to bring out the best versions of themselves! Aria also loves the way Alejandro smiles when he is trying to get away with something he KNOWS isn't gonna fly.... HAHA! Already a great wife! Alex and Aria like one on one time with each other. Either going on a nature walk or taking a trip to Ramona to get fresh eggs or driving up the coast or to LA. They have noticed their lives having been getting so busy with their school /careers they really just like the time that they have alone to be with each other and recenter.

Moses and Isabella met threw Isabella’s cousin, she just so happened to be neighbors with Moses. These two became really good friends and evenly Moses and Isabella soon realized that they liked each other and they have been together ever since. They get each-other and think a lot alike. They share the same beliefs and values. Moses and Isabella are not only partners in life but also have become best friends. They have been able to grow as people while still being able to maintain a strong relationship. These two enjoy going to Disneyland, walking around and trying new foods while at the park. They also love watching Game of Thrones, Marvel and The Mandalorian together. Traveling with family, making new memories. Finding a good pizza or street taco joint. Camping and boating, being outdoors.

Carl and Jessica met while both visiting friends in Northern Ireland- Carl noticed Jessica getting into a taxi, offered his social media account. Jessica bargained she would exchange her information for a guaranteed tour of England. Carl agreed. I love that! These two are already making compromises! They hit it off and started dating… these two love exploring parts of the world together, they’ve built quite an adventure so far! They also enjoy nights in on the sofa with a good old film and snacks.
Trying new food is also fun for Jessica and Carl, but Jessica pushes to try foods out of Carl’s comfort zone, but no complaints from Carl so far! Carl hadn’t met Jessica’s parents in person yet, but he knew that he had to make Jessica his wife! Carl felt at the time they were a perfect match, so he asked her parents for her hand in marriage and with their blessing on his visit in June 2019. Carl surprised Jessica in the hotel they were staying at in Sedona, AZ. Carl got her to the hotel room and told her " How much you mean to me and I can't see anyone else in my future, but you" Then he said "can you do me favor" she replied " you want me to move my leg" Carl replied to her "No! Will you marry me". Jessica of course said “yes”, for their honeymoon they are headed to Tokyo! Carl booked it as a surprise for Christmas for Jessica, because she has always told him how she want to visit the far east.

Steve and Kelly met through Chemistry.com. Their first date was at Karl Strauss in Sorrento Valley on a Monday night. Steve still remembers what Kelly was wearing; black jeans and a black leather jacket with a print button up shirt. Isn’t that sweet! They hit it off and had a great evening. They dated for five months before Kelly met Steve’s twins, who were 5 at the time. These two share the same values in doing what’s right and putting family first. Steve feels more himself with Kelly than he has ever felt because she sees the best in him and is really his partner. They both spend a lot of time making sure that everyone in their lives is well taken care of and happy. Kelly and Steve have always been there for each other no matter what. Steve asked for Kelly’s hand in marriage on New Year’s Eve 2011 when they went to dinner at Harney Sushi in Old Town, then they stopped by the Hotel Del for wine and cheese and went to the NYE party at L’Auberge Del Mar where Kelly dreamed of getting married. Just after midnight Steve proposed on the rooftop overlooking the ocean.

Ponte Winery reminds us of wineries in the Napa Valley with its gorgeous and romantic ambiance. It’s no wonder Mary and Simon wanted to say their “i-do’s” at there! We always get a kick out of shooting at such a beautiful location. Mary and Simon’s friends and family had a great time. This couple is fun, sweet and so loving towards each other! This wedding was such a great start to our 2020 wedding season! We are lucky to have some of the best clients in town… and Temecula haha!!

We love shooting small, intimate weddings like the one that Sara and Vaughn had. What a special day to capture as a photographer. These two came all the way from Australia to have their wedding. The La Valencia was truly the perfect venue, such stunning views and a true California vibe.

We can’t say enough great things about how stunning we think Balboa Park is. With so many options on where to shoot and beautiful backgrounds, Balboa Park is a real winner in San Diego. So when Grace and Nick wanted a location with options and beauty… only one place came to mind. I am so happy with the way their images came out. We can’t wait to shoot their big day in Summer 2020.

Ashley and Christian have been working with ABM Photography since 2013, when we shot their wedding. In the past 7 years their lives sure have changed and we were there to document it all… engagement, wedding, two maternity sessions and one newborn. We can’t wait to meet baby number two. Ashley and Christian are waiting to find out if they are having a boy or a girl this time around. I’m sure big brother Blake will be happy either way. We can’t wait to find out.
