Arroyo Grande Wedding {Julie + Daniel}

Julie and Daniel held their wedding at one of my favorite spots…. The Gardens At Peacock Farms! Soft floral colors were abound, throughout the garden as well as attire. Good beer, good wine, and good company. All the components for a lovely garden party wedding!

San Luis Obispo Wedding {Nicole + Keith}

A celebration indeed! I worked with Keith back in the day, pouring wine and doing projects around the vineyard. His family is the owners of one of the best wineries in SLO County, Kelsey See Canyon Vineyard. Mix some damn good wine with a place like the spacious and natural La Cuesta Ranch, and you’re set for a good time. Nicole was gorgeous and stress fee the whole day, as a bride should be. The night ended with the boots hitting the barn floor to some live local music!

Pismo Wedding {Lauren + Kevin}

Lauren and Kevin hit some of the best spots in SLO. They started getting ready at local friends’ houses, then the boys hit Bull’s Tavern while we cruised around downtown with the girls. Then they switched, and the girls sipped on a cocktail at one of my top spots… Luna Red. The Ceremony followed at our historical downtown mission, then an evening of celebration tucked in the secluded hillsides of Thousand Hills Ranch! Super sweet couple from beginning to end!

Livermore Wedding {Korri + Joey}

Nestled in the orchards the scene was set at The Purple Orchid. It was a wonderful and intimate day in the countryside with these two, and their loved ones. Joey was a roommate of mine back in college, and it is so great see friends find brides as lovely as Korri. She was such a sweetheart and a pleasure to capture! Loved capturing this thoughtful wedding in the cozy location, catching up with friends!

Morgan Hill Wedding {Carissa + Mitchell}

Carissa and Mitchell’s wedding was set atop the dreamy rolling hills at Willow Heights Mansion. These two were such a kind couple and pleasure to work with. We floated in and around the property. From the elegant rooms to the study oaks, to the flower filled hillsides.

Pleasanton wedding {Perri + Jensen}

It was a year of good parties and good friends, and this wedding was no exception! Jensen is the younger brother of one of my buddies from high school. These two are perfect for each other, bringing nothing but sincere love and laughter to all that surround them. During the day we bounced around the ol’ stomping grounds for getting ready photos, then the evening took place at the magnificent Palm Event Center. Be sure to check out these fellow wedding pros because everything this day was on point. And yes, that doughnut on fire at the end of the post was Flame Doughnuts for desserts! Much love to you both. Thanks for letting me be a part of capturing your day!

Santa Barbara Wedding {Haley and Scott}

Scott has been a close friend of mine for many years now. Amongst our group he has always been the one to give the most, and think of others’ well-being before his own. He deserves more than any of us can give, that is except for Haley. She is the young grasshopper to the Sensai, Dodger to his blue, love to his life…. she is good for him! Being the humble folk they are, they held an intimate wedding in Santa Barbara. The ceremony was at the Historic Santa Barbara Courthouse. As family and guests headed over to cocktail hour, they snuck up to the bell tower for the panoramic views of the city, then strolled through the streets alone to their reception. The celebration continued on the cozy rooftop of the Canary Hotel. Congratulations guys, love you both!

The setting was in Pleasanton California at the amazing Ruby Hill, which allowed for some stunning imagery, as always! These two and their entire crew were such a blast, partying into the night with midnight snacks, mixed drinks and a sparkler exit to top off the evening. Big thanks to you both…. great night!

Santa Barbara Wedding {Lauren + Tony}

Lauren and Tony were part of an amazing group of friends, many of whose weddings I have been capturing over the last year or so. These two are one good looking and classy couple who know how to celebrate. Lauren confidently donned her grand, blush dress from the one and only Miss Haley Paige, while her bridesmaids surrounded her in white. The scene was set at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, which, despite its slightly boring name, is very enchanting. Every detail was perfect. The rose gold rings, lush floras, leaf wreaths for the ladies, family style dining, and créme brûlée in the evening. Oh, and they rocked out to one of the best live bands I’ve heard at a wedding. Amazing night!

Livermore Wedding {Sarah + Ty}

Sarah and Ty felt like a good old fashioned American wedding. Set out in the country hills of Livermore, they were wed in a rustic bard, dined outdoors with family style tables and danced under the stars. Their grand entrance into the reception started with them and their bridal party rolling up in the back of a truck. Lots of laughs, and lots of love!

Tiber Canyon Ranch Wedding {Jessica + Sean}

These two and their crew know how to have a good time! They met in college working at Mother’s Tavern and celebrated their marriage vows back on their old stomping grounds in San Luis Obispo. They were married down a little hidden road, where you can find the beautiful Tiber Canyon Ranch spread out under the trees. They committed themselves under an oak clearing, dined family style, and danced like they meant it. The decor of soft pinks, greys, and greens married perfectly with the surroundings. Fun night, fun couple!

Pepper Tree Ranch Wedding {Kendra + Garrett}

Kendra and Garrett’s wedding was a beautiful mix of modern and traditional. It was held at the amazing Pepper Tree Ranch in San Luis Obispo, surrounded by mountains, vineyards, pristine ponds, a huge barn, and a sunset tree house! They have an abnormally large family with an incredible amount of talent and skills. Cousins were catering, dad made the bar and table tops, aunts did the florals, and the list goes on. A genuine a sweet couple to the core. What a fun night of true celebration of marriage. Thanks guys, for letting me be a part of it!

Chapman + Katie {King’s Beach, Lake Tahoe, CA}

You know you’re at a good wedding when you don’t know if you should be sipping mint juleps, toasting champaign, or enjoying Kentucky’s finest bourbon. Katie & Chapman are the perfect mix of class and fun! We started at The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe and ended up on the beaches of the pristine King’s Beach with perfect pastel light. The love these two have for each other is like watching little kids dance in the rain for the first time. Joy, love, and good times where showered upon all who attended that night. Thank you two again for letting me be a part of capturing such a romantic day.

Andrea + Andrew {Lago Giuseppe, Templeton, CA}

Andrea and Andrew were married and the magical Lago Giuseppe Cellars surrounded by lots of family and old friends. Andrea’s lace dress had beautiful florals stitched into the front and back. There were hints of rosemary in the decor, complimented by the bridesmaid’s dresses in soft sage. And these guys know how to celebrate! Dad broke out the good scotch, custom desserts, bon fires with s’mores, and good times late into the night. Thanks again guys for the fun day!
