Understated elegance set this gorgeous Ensenada wedding apart. Ashley and Paul celebrated at the Hotel Coral with just the right balance of sophistication with a casual vibe.

Ashley Wayman, 32, and Paul Kirwan, 32, of Solana Beach, started dating a few months after they met in grad school in San Diego. After spending three years together, Paul proposed during a post-Christmas hike in San Dieguito Park. The couple married seven months later in front of 100 of their closest friends and family with a destination wedding to Ensenada. “We wanted a reason to get all of our family and friends away for a vacation, and the location we picked was close enough that everyone could come and far away enough that most guests made a weekend out of it,” Ashley remembers.

Natural Beauty: “We didn’t go overboard with decorations or colors because we believed the site itself had so much to offer on its own,” Ashley says.
