As far as La Jolla Wedding venues go, the UCSD Faculty Club is a truly unique and beautiful place.  It is tucked back on the expansive campus surrounded by outdoor art instillations and groves of eucalyptus trees.  The Faculty Club hosts several ways for couples to have their ceremony and reception, whether it be an outdoor lawn occasion or indoor formal.  Kian and Stephanie had their wedding ceremony in the club’s lovely courtyard.  A beautiful wooden pergola covers the courtyard and young grape vines are just starting to fill in and drape down from above, creating an extra touch of romance.  Kian and Stephanie wanted to spend as much time as possible with their friends and family so they planned a first look into their day.  The eucalyptus trees surrounding the venu created the perfect setting for Kian to see Stephanie in her dress for the first time.  The wedding party then joined us for some fun portraits around the iconic UCSD library.

The ceremony was truly special and unique involving friends and family members for different aspects of it.  Kian’s best friend got ordained for a day so that he could marry them.  Then at the end of the ceremony Kian’s sister did a reading and explained to all the guests about the Persian part of the ceremony as Kian and Stephanie went through each step.  It was beautiful to watch theses two special people come together.

Thank You Kian and Stephanie for including us in your amazing day!
