Taylor + Gen Wedding || Pala Mesa Resort || Fallbrook, CA
It was a beautiful day when Taylor and Gen said their vows in a picturesque Fallbrook setting at the Pala Mesa Resort. Their celebration of love was an event to remember, complete with beautiful decor, heartfelt speeches, and lots and lots of dancing!
Venue: Pala Mesa Resort
Coordinator: 9TwentyEight
Getting Ready
They started out their day by getting ready in separate rooms at the resort. Gen was in the bridal sweet surrounded by her sisters and bridesmaids, laughing constantly as they did each other's hair and makeup.
Taylor was in the honeymoon suite getting ready with her two best friends while people came in and out of the room to say hello.
Ceremony
As the sun began to set, guests made their way to the ceremony at the Pala Mesa Resort. The brides looked absolutely stunning as they made their way down the aisle and exchanged personal vows.
Tears were shed, laughter was had, and after being pronounced married, they sealed it with a kiss!
My wonderful second shooter, Sarah, helped me to take some of these beautiful photos during the ceremony!
Portraits
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails on the patio while the couple took photos around the resort. Immediately following the ceremony, we took immediate family photos while guest enjoyed cocktail hour at the reception location. Then, we moved into the newly wed portraits. We were only left with about ten minutes to capture these photos (and trying to hurry so Gen wasn't absolutely freezing) and they turned out so beautiful.
Reception
Guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers while mingling before sitting down for dinner. The reception started with the brides' first dance followed by dinner, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss, and loooots of dancing! It was truly a magical day!
Last Dance
One thing that Taylor and Gen has their hearts set on capturing was a "last dance" of the evening as all their guest left and the staff started to put everything away. It was such a unique moment to end the day.
