Stacy and Allen’s Grand Tradition Estate wedding was classic and absolutely gorgeous. When I arrived on site and saw Allen gleefully watching the decor come together, I knew the space was going to end up being stunning. Tremendous care was taken by the bride and groom and their designer, The Finishing Touch Wedding Design, to ensure a lovely environment, overflowing with blush and white floral arrangements, and a lit drapery among many other details.  But the beauty certainly did not stop at the wedding design and the soon-to-be newly weds, but truly the love that these two and their families shared was just as compelling. From start to finish, everywhere I looked were the laughing and smiling faces of family and friends. The ceremony had a couple sweet personal touches like a ceremonial bottle of wine that they locked in a box along with letters that they’ll open upon their 5th wedding anniversary! The Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens was filled with opportunity for some beautiful portraits that we took advantage of before the reception. The reception was held in the beautifully decorated event tent where they enjoyed good food, great toasts, and some intense dancing. The entire day was wonderful and I had a great time with Stacy and Allen documenting their Grand Tradition Estate wedding in Fallbrook. The night capped off with a fantastic sparkler exit. A special thanks to my friend and second photographer, Shaun Baker from San Diego for coming up and sharing his talent with me, and Alicia Chandler for coming up to help assist! Here are some highlights of some of my favorite photos from the Stacy & Allen’s Grand Tradition Estate wedding day.
