Lauren & Drew’s wedding at the tranquil Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park was perfectly summery and serene! The lovingly-tended grounds were the ideal setting for such an elegant celebration! But the day began at the Hotel Solamar, a boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the historic Gaslamp District nearby. It was so much fun to capture the giggles and joyful tears, as Lauren got into her gorgeous gown. Every detail was perfect when she and Drew saw each other for the first time. His breath was absolutely taken away in that moment!
Anyone can see that Lauren holds Drew’s heart — whether it’s just the two of them, or surrounded by their friends and families, the romance overflows. From the dramatic dip of their first kiss to the sweet smooch at the end of the night on the dance floor, we’re so excited to share some of our many, many favorite photographs from their wedding day!
