Carmelite Monastery Wedding San Diego | Teresa and Stephen

Teresa and Stephen did an incredible job of putting together their Carmelite Monastery Wedding. The Monastery is a truly enchanting place and when we stepped onto the grounds it felt like we had walked right out of San Diego and into some quiet secluded spot in Europe. Teresa grew up down the street from the monastery so when we did our walk through, she told us the most wonderful stories of visiting the nuns as a little girl. The Carmelite Monastery does not hold a lot of weddings so it was extra special to be a part of Stephen and Teresa’s. Their ceremony was amazing, with singing, crowns, readings, and a string quartet up in the rafters.

Enjoy the first half of Stephen and Teresa’s Wedding day. There were just too many wonderful photos for one post so keep your eye out for more to come.

Thanks Stephen and Teresa for including us in your amazing day and a big thanks to all your wonderful vendors!

We set them up in the back yard at their home and let Teresa take her time before turning Stephen around to see her for the first time. There were tears, and whispers to one another, twirling around and emotional hugs. We just love the intimate moment that a first look affords the couple.
