Ashley and Ryan : San Diego Botanic Gardens

March 19, 2015 Suzanne

Only in her wildest dreams could a wedding be so spectacular. Ashley is creative and sweet. Ryan is confident and caring. Together, these sweethearts have braved nine years of love before Ryan got down on one knee. The sun was setting on a beach in Encinitas... the moment was perfection.

Ashley and Ryan's earthy and vintage wedding was held in the summer sunshine at the San Diego Botanic Gardens. Family and friends gathered under the stars to share a meal in honor of the newly wedded couple. Crazy and sweet with a dash of humor summarize Ashley & Ryan's adventure together in this rad and colorful outdoor wedding.
