Siena & Cory Wedding | Hotel Andalucia, Santa Barbara, California

Siena and Cory's wedding was great! She had a killer veil, they loved pictures and they both (along with about 15 guests) were into the Ultimate Fighting Championship. You don't often get brides who can kick your um... nevermind. It was just a fun day and we loved it very much.

Enjoy the pics...



have to love these old style veils...

Rita & Ryan Wedding | Pismo Beach, California

Rita and Ryan were a very sweet couple we shot a little while ago. They had so much love for other, they just seemed like they were already married and happy even before the wedding. It was a beautiful day in Pismo and Rita's quiet elegance fit the day perfectly.

Enjoy the pics...

I love hairspray shots...

Sara & John definitely win the award for the most animated couple we've shot this year =) They were a blast to hang out with and got some great pictures on the beach in Cambria! It was hard picking out the pictures for the blog but we managed to narrow it down... we hope you enjoy them!

Sara had sooo many different expressions... one picture just wouldn't do her justice

Megan & Matt Wedding | Sycamore Hot Springs, Avila Beach, California

Megan and Matt had a beautiful and elegant day in the gardens of Sycamore Hot Springs. God blessed their union so much that day as it was just perfect, with wonderful light spilling through the trees and making everything look perfect. They couldn't have asked for anything better.

We loved shooting that day and we hope it shows in the images...

Gilchrist & Soames

I notice that I have many roles in my life: wedding photographer, editor of photos not spelling, graphic designer, chef, party planner, housemaid, chauffer for my 12 year old, counselor to brides, friend to some close people, servant of God and all of these things are very important to me but while taking a shower this morning I realized I love hotel soaps, I can’t say enough about soaps from hotels, I love them! I think it’s a reminder of when I go out of town, which is often for wedding jobs, and a pure simple pleasure that we all need to indulge in. My gambling mother often goes to Vegas and brings back soaps for me and my children, this is one company that flamingo hotel gives their guests that stay at their hotel, Gilchrist & Soames. I looked online and they have gift bags, what a wonderful idea for your honeymoon!

Michael Muller!

This contains some bad words ...but worth viewing :)

Elysium!
