We are so excited to showcase Sharina + Rafael's amazing El Cortez wedding. Sharina and Rafael are an adorable urban couple who live right in the heart of San Diego's East Village, making the El Cortez Don Room the perfect location for their urban outdoor wedding. We love the outdoor ceremony site on the patio overlooking beautiful San Diego, and the Don Room ballroom is of course one of San Diego's historic wedding venues.

We totally adore The Prado's House of Hospitality in San Diego's beautiful Balboa Park. Check out this fun video of Jenatte and Dave's summer wedding. Their ceremony was in the gorgeous outdoor garden venue and their reception in the beautiful ballroom. Enjoy!

San Diego has some amazing wedding vendors, but one of our favorites is the organic espresso catering and wedding coffee stand service Joes On The Nose. They are available for your wedding or special event and can be found at many of the local farmer's markets too! The Orange Coffee Truck is impossible to miss, and was just around the corner from Donnille and Lukasz's wedding ceremony in Little Italy. We posted some pictures we did with Donnille at the Orange Coffee Truck on our Facebook Fan Page, and we were so excited to see that the Bridal Inquirer Blog featured our post!

We just got back from a fabulous trip to the eastern part of beautiful Canada, where we spent a week with Amy's family on Kaminiskeg Lake. It was the first time Maurice had the chance to meet our new niece Samantha, so it was extra special, since this was a place Amy's family has been going for more than 20 years. The pictures with the green deck show the view of the lake from the front yard ... spectacular and breathtaking and oh so peaceful. It was rather chilly the week we were there, so we snuggled by the fire playing board games and Wii and even made s'mores with coat hangers ... fun! One day we took a drive through the Algonquin National Park. Though we didn't see a moose, we found some amazing vistas and took a fun trek through a bog. Canada is a beautiful country, full of rocks, trees and water. The seasons are well on their way to changing up there, with a few signs like the leaves turning vibrant colors and falling to the earth. We hope you enjoy the postcards!
