welcome to my blog
There they stood. The San Diego skyline behind them at their Bali Hai Wedding. Hand in hand. White dress. Classic double-breasted suit. Eyes locked — and misty with tears. The good kind.
With family and friends looking on, Stephen & Jasmine were together. Forever.
After years of dating and building a life together, they were officially husband and wife. Surrounded by friends and family…and by their beloved fur-baby Louie…the day couldn’t have been more perfect.
However, their story didn’t truly begin with them. It began with the parents and grandparents who paved the way. It grew out of a heritage rooted in faith and love. From that deep foundation flowed the steady, natural abundance of peace, joy, goodness, kindness, and gentleness that radiated from both families and embraced all who were near.
Jasmine and Stephen, it was an honor to be by your side on your special day. It was an absolute joy to have been on this journey with you. From your engagment session at Balboa Park, to our timeline planning, to our scouting of the venue and dinner…every moment was a pleasure. You two are truly a power couple and we are so grateful to have had a small part in your story.
Bali Hai Wedding
A Bali Hai wedding is nothing short of spectacular. Nestled on Shelter Island, the venue overlooks San Diego Bay with sweeping views of the downtown skyline—an unforgettable backdrop for both ceremony and reception.
One of the greatest advantages of a Bali Hai wedding is the ease of hosting everything in one beautiful location. Couples can seamlessly transition from vows to celebration, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience for the bridal party, family, and guests. The setting feels intimate and tucked away, with a distinct tropical ambiance that makes it feel like a destination wedding—without ever leaving San Diego.
What makes this venue especially unique is its rare positioning between the open bay on one side and the harbor on the other. As the sun sets, the light over the water creates breathtaking portrait opportunities, while guests soak in the natural beauty that makes San Diego so special.
