It’s just steps from the beach! […]

Outdoor Bridal Boudoir in Los Peñasquitos Preserve. At my bachelorette party, I was already 17 weeks pregnant with my son, so obviously, drinking was out, and I’ve never been a huge club girl, so instead, I asked my Maid of Honor if we could rent a gorgeous hotel suite and hire a boudoir photographer to […]

But when this adorable bride reached out with an idea of doing something a little different for her engagement session.
