San Diego is not known for its rain, in fact, I don’t remember the last time we had rain before yesterday! However, rain came (and went!) and Katie & Leif’s day went off beautifully. The ceremony was originally scheduled to take place at Calumet park, but since the skies were not clearing, a last minute move to George’s (the reception location) was made. And honestly, you could not tell! The decor at George’s matched Katie & Leif’s theme so perfectly, I think it couldn’t have been better secondary location :)

Also, not the mention aside from the rain there were tornadoes! Scroll down further for the photo and explanation.

Playing footsie is encouraged :)

So apparently there were tornadoes off the coast while we were doing the shoot. During the actual shoot, I didn’t even notice – I was so focused on Katie & Leif! But guests were telling us later that they saw a few off the coast. My boyfriend was actually surfing off by Del Mar at the exact same time, and texted me about the tornadoes while I was at the wedding. Once I pulled up the photos, I immediately started looking for the tornadoes in the background, and sure enough, there they were on the left!

This is a closeup of the previous image – from the left side.

I couldn’t pick which ring shot I liked best, so I’m posting both!

Katie & Leif, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your lovely day! You guys are fabulous, gorgeous and fun, and I wish you two many blessings for years to come.
