If you’re looking for a major color pop to brighten your day – look no further.

To see all the inspiration this day has to offer, head on over to the full gallery – all taken by Natalie Bray Studios!

From Ivy Weddings and Events… This editorial shoot at Caroline’s Seaside Terrace is romantic, modern and bright with picturesque views of the Pacific shoreline.

This feature is the perfect fit for a couple seeking a modern beachside sunset inspiration for their intimate wedding day.

Our vision for this editorial gathered some of the most talented vendors from the San Diego wedding market to create a dreamy scene of quiet romance amongst the stunning sunsets and ocean tides of La Jolla Shores.

We were striving for a modern autumn aesthetic infused with radiant red hues, and a soft touch of cool blues. Chic gowns by Olvi’s Lace and Pronovias, adorned with floral accents, a flawless bridal beauty look by, Makeup by Stacey, and bold, colorful florals by Ophelia Floral Co are just a sampling of the talent included in this gallery. The inviting imagery evoked the coastal rays of sunrise to sunset. Our take on the beachside elopement is one of playful romance and thoughtful, organic details.
