Brittany and Michael said I DO! at a very sweet ceremony at the Unitarian Church in Santa Barbara. I loved this wedding because it all came together with the love and help of some very talented friends. A friend from Utah (and bridesmaid) did all of the flowers, which were gorgeous and another talented friend spinned the tunes for the reception. Maria Marques with Bellula Events did a fabulous job making it all come together. A wondeful time was had by ALL! Brittany and Michael are the type of people you just want to know - the type of people you want to have on your speed dial - the type of people that remind you of how joyous life is - the type of people that make you laugh without trying too hard - the type of people that make you feel good, just by being in their presence. Brittany and Michael are the perfect match. It's undeniable. They are just perfect together. I know they'll be together forever. It's just the way it has to be... Much love to you both!

When Carlie told me they found a great barn for their engagement session - I was beaming with excitement. I LOVE barns, there is just nothing better for a shoot. But, little did I know just how perfect it was... This was not just any barn - it was actually clean and adorned with perfect colorful accents... It truly was the most perfect spot, it had a tire swing, lavender field and vines all within yards of each other. I couldn't have picked a better spot myself. And I couldn't have picked a better couple either... These highschool sweethearts couldn't keep their eyes off of each other - they were so head over heels in love that I found myself with a full grin the entire time behind the camera. I really do love what I do! I feel so lucky that I get to meet sweet couples who constantly remind me of how amazing love really is... I can't wait for their wedding next year!

This wedding was so full of personality, I laughed and smiled all the way through it! Michelle and Thatcher are an absoulte blast to be around - their energy and laugh is so infectious - it touched everyone at the wedding and it created a really fun, lively atmosphere. They had a cariacature drawn of each guest as their gift to them - it was hilarous watching people find themselves in a sea of cariacatures. To add to the fun of the night - they had a funny video of them learning their dance that everyone loved, a ping pong table and very, very sweet candy table. It was the perfect celebration for an adorable, fun-loving couple! I know Michelle and Thatcher are going to have a life filled with laughter, dancing, ping pong & lots and lots of love. I wish you two all of the best in your journey together! Thank you to the Four Seasons Biltmore for supplying your amazing backdrop and impeccable service. Also, a huge thank you to coordinator Mary Litzinger with VP Events for running a smooth and beautiful event. See all of the other amazing contributors below... Flowers, Belle of the Ball Designs

It was such a pleasure photographing this Montecito estate wedding for Cally and Dan. It was the perfect Santa Barbara day and views of the Pacific were just amazing! The day went so smoothly with the help and guidance of wedding coordinator Robin Sonner. She was on top of everything and I know that everyone had a fabulous time. The decor was gorgeous, the food was plentiful, the music made you want to dance ... not to mention, Cally and Dan are a couple madly in love, so what else could you want from a wedding? It sounds perfect to me. And it truly was. I have to give a shout out to the amazing people that made this all happen...
