It is always a treat to shoot entire weddings at Balboa Park.  We love ceremonies at Casa Del Ray Moro Garden, and of course Balboa Park at large is a favorite for poses.  Receptions at the Prado are always luxurious and beautiful, and Jivan and Kristen’s was no exception.  We loved all of the beautiful details, the delicious food and the lively dancing.
