Intimate Wedding at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Ca | Megan and Jonathan

I love that these two were featured on Big Love Small Weddings! Such an amazing blog!

Megan and Jonathan had an absolutely beautiful elopement with their families at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Ca on October 2nd. Meeting these two souls was no coincidence, as I was lucky enough for an introduction from their amazing friends Lindsey and Bryan. Being a photographer isn't always puppies and rainbows, and the summer months sometimes get a little insane. But it is weddings like these that remind us of why our jobs are so incredible, and make coming home to edit just all the more worth it!. From the moment of arriving, to staying late to capture the stars in the sky; every second was filled with such love shared throughout all individuals present.

Summer Gerry Ranch Wedding in Camarillo, Ca | Aurora and Jeff

This amazing wedding day was featured on Every Last Detail! Go check it out!

Jeff and Aurora had an absolutely beautiful wedding at Gerry Ranch in Camarillo, Ca. You wouldn't even know that this day reached over 105 degrees in mid September, with winds up to 55 mph. Through 5 layers of sunscreen, a veil blowing away during the first look, and gallons and gallons of water; the day went off without a hitch. Their wedding was filled with intimate touches of nautical elements, including tying a knot that will never break and the two concluding their personal vows promising to always be the best first mate or captain they could be. This tied in perfectly to their engagement session hats, which I can honestly say I kind of missed!

There is not much more I can say besides this is one of the most visually epic weddings I have been blessed to get to photograph, and not only that, it was picked up to be featured by Rock N Roll Bride.

It has been a year since these two amazing vegan bloggers, owning and operating Carrots and Flowers, got married last year in one of my favorite locations with one of my favorite themes. Megan and Pasha chose a Burning Man themed wedding 4,000 ft. up to the top of a mountain for their unforgettable five day wedding. Everything including the flowers and centerpieces were all hand made by the bride, even lighting up when night hit.

DIY Wedding at Stones and Flowers Santa Cruz Retreat | Angelina and Brandon

This wedding was featured on Something Turquiose for their awesome DIY elements!

Angelina & Brandon's rustic fairytale wedding in Ben Lomond, California at the gorgeous Stones and Flowers Santa Cruz Retreat was entirely incredible, and entirely DIY. The entire wedding was planned and completed by Angelina and their wedding party, down to the spray painted table settings, and floating heart in the barn. I knew beforehand that they were doing a lot of details themselves, and also that the location was going to be gorgeous, because hello, redwoods, but it’s hard to even put into words just how picturesque everything turned out. It truly was a modern day fairy tale in the woods!
