Katelyn & James grew up ten minutes away from each other, but it took these sweethearts forever to finally cross paths. They’d grown up in Orange County, played the same sports in the same sports organizations, and even had the same dentist! When they met at last, it was only after spending three years at the same college. Ever since the night they met, they’ve been inseparable. Katelyn and James have been so excited to do life together as husband and wife!
Their wedding at Darlington House in La Jolla was perfectly personal, and absolutely elegant. Katelyn and her girls had so much fun getting ready together! The room was filled with the scent of white roses and baby’s-breath bouquets, and as Katelyn was laced into gorgeously-embroidered dress, she looked absolutely breathtaking.
She & James then shared a tender First Look together. Savoring those quiet moments, Katelyn & James’ anticipation only grew – the big moment was almost here.
When Katelyn began to walk down the aisle, the excitement grew electric. Their vows were so emotional, and you have to see the moment of their first kiss! We loved spending so much time with Katelyn & James just after their ceremony, exploring the romantic grounds of Darlington House and walking down to the crystal-blue water. (But unlike their engagement session, they didn’t dive in this time!)
Katelyn & James’ reception was so elegant and personal, from the welcoming market lights to the tables sprayed with fresh roses and eucalyptus leaves. It was just the perfect place to dance the night away and celebrate the Donahues – at last!
