jen & siu-ling, the sweetest of high school sweethearts, at the green river golf course.







i love this one — jen’s dad kept sneaking a peek over at the radiant bride. :)





fun times on the dance floor with siu-ling! :D



a sweet detail from kristen & walter’s wedding yesterday — the releasing of monarch butterflies at the end of the ceremony!

editing like crazy this week. expect many blog posts to come. :)
tried this new place called cucina urbana on my last trip to san diego. i first read rave reviews on a couple of blogs, and it did not disappoint! make sure you make a trip out there if you’re in san diego. :)
on a wednesday night it was packed with people, so make sure you make reservations–but if you wander in, they’ll probably seat you at one of the cool communal tables below.

i LOVED their chandeliers.

polenta + ragu, short rib pappardelle. two dishes worth going back for. :)

afterwards, i was tempted to make my usual stop at extraordinary desserts, but we opted to try something new since we were only a couple blocks from chocolat. dark chocolate + hazelnut gelato sundae? HELLO. (p.s. why doesn’t LA have good dessert spots? anyone have suggestions?)

sometimes i forget about the beauty that exists right in my backyard.
