Light of Love Photography l San Diego Lifestyle Photography by Kris Skurja Gabele » Light of Love Photography

First wedding of the year for me, and it was an absolute JOY to photograph! Jordan + Nathalie had waited very patiently for one another, and after 2 1/2 years of dating, they finally had their dream wedding at The Thursday Club, in San Diego. Here they had both grown up in San Diego, just 10 minutes a part of each other, yet they did not meet until attending George Fox University, in Oregon. As they said, God’s timing sure is perfect; bringing them 1000 miles from home to finally introduce them – when they were ready for one another! These two love the Lord, and one another, with their whole hearts. This makes for not only a beautiful wedding day, but they will most importantly have a beautiful marriage! Thanks for having me as your photographer, Jordan + Nathalie! Such an honor!

Ah, this family! They are so special.  I am grateful to have been their photographer and to be able to capture their genuine love for each other + all the giggles that go along with it. We went to one of my very favorite photo spots in San Diego for their family photoshoot – the pretty tress and warm light are ideal here. That, combined with the fact that they pretty much rocked their shoot by having fun together as family – it was awesome! I sure love what I do.

These two! They are madly in love with each other and have such a playful relationship – it was a joy to capture their engagement!  Ryan, a Fire Fighter/Paramedic had been “eyeballing” Tera, the pretty ER Nurse, for years. And now this – she will be his bride! They will be getting married in August after 4 1/2 years of being together. We walked the fine streets of our city, in downtown San Diego for their engagement session. And of course, they cuddled up at the historic Firehouse Museum, because.. they can!

I love this time of year (what was Christmas time! I’m still catching up.) when I get to see all the families that I adore for their yearly family pictures! It’s so fun to watch Miss Kate grow-up. Regardless her age, she is always so spunky and full-of-joy! And she still loves to give her mom and dad snuggles. Oh those curls! The best to capture in photos. Here are a handful of images from their San Diego Family Photoshoot. Last year was rustic/country. This year, they mixed-it-up and went for pretty jewel tone colors for their outfits and a slight modern twist with the location.

Fun. Energetic. Full of love. This is the DeWinter Family in action during their San Diego Family Photoshoot at Torrey Pines. And these are just a few of their images that we captured together as they played as a family during their photo session. G.B. Shaw sums it up… “A happy family is but an earlier heaven.” Couldn’t agree more.
