Michael + Aimee's Wedding :: Hidden Valley Retreat, Escondido, CA

Newly minted Mr and Mrs Broadbent's wedding day took place at The Hidden Valley Spa, a beautiful garden paradise with miles of rock lined walking trails, fountains, orchards, guest houses and even a pool! Who knew it was tucked away in the hills of Escondido?

The day was filled with paper cranes, old barns, Lego themed wedding favors and lots of genuine emotion! Congratulations again to Aimee and Michael... definitely a perfect match.

Engaged :: Michael + Aimee | Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

I spent a sunny day in Balboa Park with Michael and Aimee. Amazing couple... so photogenic and easy to work with. We had a great time exploring (and juggling) around different parts of the park and I noticed right away that these two have a natural chemistry you can feel.

They traveled together for months throughout Southeast Asia which, if you've ever experienced the challenges of extended travel with others in a foreign culture, is a true sign of love and compatibility in a new relationship.

I'm definitely looking forward to documenting their big day this spring!
