Allison and Ryan’s wedding at Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano was nothing short of magical. These two have the biggest hearts, and their entire day radiated joy, love, and an effortless kind of beauty that’s hard to put into words.
Their reception space felt like a whimsical secret garden—fountains adorned with lush florals, twinkling lights, and the perfect blend of charm and elegance. The vision came to life beautifully thanks to the incredible team at Monge Amore Events, who brought every detail together so seamlessly.
The bridesmaids wore soft blue floral dresses and, in the sweetest touch, carried flower baskets instead of traditional bouquets—an enchanting choice by Ruffle Effect that added a romantic, storybook vibe to the day.
We took wedding party and couple portraits at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, which is truly a dream location for any photographer. The textures, the light, the history—every frame was stunning.
Allison and Ryan’s wedding was overflowing with emotion, laughter, and so much love. It was one of those days you walk away from feeling grateful to witness such a special kind of connection.
