Modern Rooftop Wedding with a Splash || M + J Married at Kimpton Palomar Hotel

November 07, 2018 by Christine Tustin in 2018 Weddings, California, Fall Wedding, Photography, San Diego, wedding

Fast forward to these two getting married. I knew from the day that I met Michael and Jennifer that this was going to be one of my favorite weddings to shoot. I loved how they envisioned their wedding from the start. Modern and minimalistic details. Using all greenery + plants instead of flowers. A gorgeous hotel with a unique detail of doing a ceremony around a pool. (The pool which later became the second dance floor.) A special duo mother-son and father-daughter dance and instead of a cake cutting they opted for a donut feeding and a special toast with a beer they brought back with them from their travels…

Megan + Matt Married at Green Gables || San Diego, CA

October 22, 2018 by Christine Tustin in 2018 Weddings, California, Fall Wedding, Photography, San Diego, wedding

100 year old school house, the family dog adorned in flowers, and a dance floor full of happy hips - pretty much sums up this epic day start to finish. Though there were some pretty incredible details in between that I can’t leave out. Like the amount of times that someone was lifted up by either the groomsmen, bridesmaids, or bride and groom or Megan having a first look with all three of her brothers and her dad. Though, my favorite detail of the entire day was the ring warming.

Cozy Seaside Engagement Session || Megan and Matt - Del Mar, CA

September 20, 2018 by Christine Tustin in 2018 Weddings, California, Engagement, Fall Wedding, San Diego, wedding, Del Mar

My favorite sessions are the ones that I feel like I’m just hanging out with two good friends. Matt and Megan have that presence about them. Two incredible people down for a good time and making you feel part-of-the-group. We spent this little endeavor laughing, talking (mostly about) tv shows - SYTYCD and World of Dance fans over here, and I got to know them on a whole new level. This sweet little evening session brought me to know that I love them (not that I doubted I would) and their relationship.

Retro Vibes + Sunflowers Tribes on the Eastern Shore | Berlin, MD Family Session

August 31, 2018 by Christine Tustin in 2018 Weddings, Travel, wedding, Maternity, family, Fall Wedding, Maryland, Eastern Shore

Man, it is good to be back on the east coast.

I live for these colors and these down-to-earth vibes. Endless amounts of green and bright, popping sunflowers, blue skies, thick white clouds, dark grey storms, pinks, purples, reds, and orange painted sunsets. It's a little slice of nostalgic heaven for me.

Rachel and Mike married at Jurassic Park | The Ranch at Bandy Canyon

November 12, 2017 by Christine Tustin in wedding, 2017 Weddings, Fall Wedding, San Diego

The birds were making their presence known and it was the perfect temperature. The girls were poppin' champagne and the guys were getting settled into their cabin with food and bevs. Honestly, I think the best way to describe this day is that it was bursting at the seams with love. Beautiful, genuine, emotional love.

Did I just witness a fairytale wedding?

Let me paint you this picture...It’s a warm, sunny Friday afternoon. I arrive at my destination, Quail Haven Farm. As I drive up this long windy driveway, I notice trees and flowers and turn to corner to see this wonderful barn with the friendliest horses popping their heads out to greet...

Ever been to a wedding where the whole essence of the day truly fit the personality of the bride and groom? Nick and Andrea hit this one out of the park.

Down to the very last detail this day was perfection

Brett and Emily Married at a Mountain || Bear Creek Mountain Resort, Macungie, PA

September 15, 2017 by Christine Tustin in 2017 Weddings, Fall Wedding, wedding

It was the perfect temperature all day long as the clouds came and went. The vows were funny and sweet. The moods were high all around. The dancing was ridiculous and incredible. I’m strongly considering requesting there be a mosh-pit at all future weddings. The day was perfect.
