Krystal and Jaimen are such total sweeties! I (Marisa) met these two for their courthouse elopement wedding ceremony in Fullerton on a lovely Thursday morning! After some quick I do's in Downtown Fullerton we headed over to Hillcrest Park with their wonderful families for some family shots and photos of the newlyweds with their son Philip (who is the cutest everrrrrr!). We love elopements so much as they are such a sweet reminder that big weddings are great and all, but marriage is what is truly worth celebrating! I also loved getting to create these simple but stunning florals for Krystal and Jaimen, amazing how flowers add such an extra special touch. Congratulations to this wonderful new family!
