Real Weddings: Dawn + Brian

Dawn and Brian’s Rancho Santa Fe wedding is too gorgeous for words.  Jill Thomas did a perfect job capturing all of the romance and beauty of the day, and the amazing love and joy that Dawn and Brian share.  I love every little detail.

I love Brian’s groom style!  His Zara suit, newsboy cap, and Converse sneakers are vintage yet unique.
