Stonehurst at Hampton Valley | Alicia + Marcus

{Stonehurst at Hampton Valley 5.06.22}

If you want to feel love in photos, scroll through some of my faves from Alicia + Marcus’ wedding at Stonehurst at Hampton Valley. It was one of those days where the emotions were overflowing—from the tearful first look to the high-energy dance floor, it was pure magic from start to finish.

From holiday party to happy ever after…

Alicia and Marcus’ love story started back in 2016 at a holiday party in San Diego, hosted by the company they both worked for. Alicia walked into the party solo, not knowing too many people—and then Marcus showed up. He walked right over, introduced himself, and basically stole her heart on the spot. By the end of the night, they had exchanged numbers. A few weeks later they were inseparable, and soon after that, Marcus introduced Alicia to his son, Braydon. That’s when it really felt like forever.

When Marcus was ready to propose, he planned the sweetest Tahoe trip with their closest friends. One night, under the stars by the lake, he got down on one knee. Alicia suspected it was coming (because of course she did), but still let out a huge, tearful YES.

A wedding day full of emotion + intention…

Their wedding day at Stonehurst at Hampton Valley was one of those cozy fall days that just feels like home. Alicia started the morning surrounded by her best girls, getting pampered by Larissa Lake & Co. She looked absolutely stunning in her gown from Alexandra’s Boutique, with soft glam makeup and romantic waves that totally matched the vintage vibe of the day.

Her first look with Marcus and Braydon? Honestly, I still get teary thinking about it. They both lit up the second they saw her, and when Alicia read her letter to them… yep, I was crying behind the camera.

Golden light + happy tears…

Their ceremony took place on the picturesque grounds of Stonehurst, surrounded by warm fall light and the people who mean the most to them. The vows were heartfelt, the kiss was movie-worthy, and the love? It was so real.

From there, it was time to celebrate—and Stonehurst at Hampton Valley absolutely nailed the reception. They handled everything from coordination to catering, and the whole night felt so thoughtful and beautifully executed. The tables were dressed in lush florals from Bloom Creative & Floral Events, and the cake by Natalia Colom was as delicious as it was stunning.

The party kicked off thanks to DJ Marty, who kept the dance floor packed all night. From the first dance to the final song, Alicia and Marcus were all smiles, soaking in every second.

Alicia and Marcus’ day was the kind of wedding I live for—emotional, intentional, and filled with little moments that make you stop and feel. It was such an honor to document it all in my signature vintage-inspired style, with all the golden light and candid moments that make your photos feel like art.

Forever grateful to have been part of this day. Alicia and Marcus, wishing you both (and Braydon!) a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable dance floors.
