Laura and Chris
Over the Thanksgiving holiday I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful wedding of Laura & Chris!
This union was truly something to be thankful for! Many of my family and friends seemed to ask why a wedding on Thanksgiving? My response was what a better time to come together in a union of life, and love and to be able to share it with all of your friends and family over a holiday focused on being thankful!!! This wedding was so beautiful, simple, unique, and sincere.
The event was held over two days on the first day the ceremony was at a public labyrinth's in Avila Valley right across from the Sycamore Mineral Springs where the thanksgiving brunch was held. It was such a unique ceremony and I loved it as it was all about the couple and their union and not about all of the many stressful things that we tend to get caught up in on a wedding day. It was also out in nature which makes for such a relaxing and meditative environment! One of the most relaxing parts was when Chris and Laura (followed by their family) all slowly walked through the Labyrinth and had some time to decompress and get centered on the meaning and importance of the day! I think that none of us could have asked for more perfect conditions and beautiful scenery that day what a blessing (see the photos below)!!
Following the brunch we went to Chris and Laura's home in Shell beach to do some fun and candid bridal portraits of them on their bikes and with their beautiful dog Nala! This is always my favorite part of shooting weddings as it is the time I get to hang out with my friends and allow them to just focus on each other!
The second day was also beautiful and the reception was held at the beautiful Salisbury Vineyards where Friends and family gathered to enjoy each other and amazing appetizers provided by Chef Rick's Ultimately Fine Foods.
Thanks Chris and Laura for letting me, Dan and Sophie be a part of your beautiful union. I look forward to hanging out and photographing you and your new family for years to come!!! Enjoy!!!

chloe takes too many good pictures! :)
Chloe, i sometimes sneak on sophie's blog to check all her good stuff and I check out the work blogs from time to time. I had no idea at how talented you are. Your stuff is absolutely amazing. Great work!
It was a beautiful wedding...pure and undefiled by all the chaos tha weddings so often become. I was thankful to spend my thanksgiving with such beautiful people in such a beautiful place. Chloe and I are praying for you...and nala of course. God bless you both, may your marraige bring you as much joy and happiness as mine does with my beautiful wife Chloe.
The sampling of the wedding photos I see here, capture the essence of the bond between you, Cris and Laura, that I feel whenever I am around you. May this love grow ever greater with each passing day.
