Last but not least, to my favorite time of day…right after sunset!  The most beautiful mystical light, when everything glows and weddings become dreamy and then turn into a rich deep blue sky.  This is the time when for 15 minutes I am in pure heaven.  Jared, being a wedding photographer himself knew how important this 15 minutes would be and found the perfect location that was on the way to The Crossings in Carlsbad which is where the wedding reception was.  We could not have timed it better!

And now for a signature Sara France shot….0095.jpg 0098.jpg0097.jpg 0099.jpg

This one has to be one of my favorite images from the day!  Love the evening sky, love the bench, love the expression they both have.  So relaxed!  0101.jpg

We even made it to the Crossings in plenty of time for the happy couple to join and enjoy their cocktail hour.  The Crossings in Carlsbad is a golf course that have an incredible view from their event space.  The location sits on a hill overlooking the golf course and the ocean.  It is stunning!!!!

You might recogniz3e a few other wedding photogrpahers in theise next few pictures as the party starts to really get going!  I handed my camera off for a couple of the fun dance shots.  This one was grabbed by my good friend Garrett Delph of Garett Photography.  Yep, that is Bronson Pate of Bauman Photographers leaping over someone on the dance floor!  You can also see him cutting a rug with Jeff Youngren of The Youngrens in the next shot!

The girls were tearing it up too with a reenactment of the Thriller video from their days as professional ice skaters.  0125.jpg

No comment on this one accept that the photographer on the right got married this weekend!  Congratulation Jason!0126.jpg

And they danced till the VERY LAST SONG!  I have never seen a reception end on such a high note!  EVERYONE was on the dance floor for the last song and ready to keep going!  Honestly, I have been to a lot of weddings and this one goes down as the best dancing and best party I have every seen.0128.jpg

Jared and Sara, can you please please please throw another party like this!  So much fun!
