This year was turned upside down, to say the least, with traditional weddings not being permitted, the new norm has been to forgo large celebrations, and instead embrace intimate ceremonies that celebrate what’s important – LOVE. Another highlight from my year was Janzel and Anthony’s beautiful downtown San Diego waterfront courthouse wedding ceremony. After an […]
