Tony and Colleen: Dolphin Bay Bliss

On Sunday August Second I had such a fun time photographing the wedding of Tony and Colleen!

The day was absolutely gorgeous and it all went so smoothly as Sunday weddings usually have a nice and mellow vibe for some reason.

Sophie, Dan, and I got there and took some of the prep picks at a fun Salon in AG called Rontal Salon and then ventured to the fabulous Dolphin Bay Hotel where the wedding would be held.

All was so picutresque from the grand and gorgeous room that the bridal party was staying in (keep in mind their suite is bigger than my entire house) :) to the ceremony overlooking the crystal blue ocean!

This was the case down to the flowers which we provided by Jenny Mc Niece, which were stunning and acted as the perfect jewelery to an already stunning neckline! You have got to love me and the cheesy metaphors. :)

Also just to note, the food prepared by the executive Chief Evan Treadwell at the Dolphin bay was fabulous, it was perfectly cooked and beautiful presented as well. (see photos below)

All together this day could not have run smoother or have been more beautiful!

Colleen and Tony I wish you the best in your new lives together and I am so excited for your image viewing on Friday! I hope you all enjoy the images! :)

Chlesea & Greg: The Color of Love Continues

Thanks for your patience on this one everybody!
I have been so excited to post this wedding for you all over the past two weeks Now the images are here and ready to view!!
The other week I had the privilege to photograph the beautiful wedding of Chelsea and Greg!
This was such a beautiful and colorful wedding from all the the fabulous and fun personalities in bridal party, the bright sunny weather, to the yellow accents everywhere that just made the event overflow with joy and cheer! (you will see what I mean in the photos below) :)
This wedding was so creative and cute as Chelsea and her sister Lauren made and collected throughout the year all these fun antique plates, vases, bowls, bird cages and bird silhouettes, feathers, and tons more. It was all these little personal "Anthropologie like" touches that really made the already stunning canvas of Tiber Canyon Ranch come to life and show their unique style and personality.
This event was also so much fun also due to the rockin dinner/dancing party which was facilitated by Missy from Kramer Djs who really took it up a notch as everyone seemed to be really having the time of their lives! :)
I hope you all really enjoy the images and like I have said before I had a really hard time choosing images so sorry but there are quite a few!

Chelsea and Greg: Thanks again for the honor of photographing your wedding and engagement! Dan and I really have enjoied our times together and getting to know the both of you! I am so happy for you and I cant wait to see you for your Premire image release party!!!

Ryan and Emily: The Princess Bride

The other weekend I had the honor to photograph a Princess Bride and Groom! Emily not only looks like a Disney Princess (you have to see her amazing eyes) but she seriously she is one to her new hubby Ryan (sorry for the cheese but it is true)!!! Ryan is a man that truly, truly, loves his new bride. Hearing the comments he made and seeing the excitement in his face and voice while recording the pre-wedding clip from Cana Video, seriously made me well up. Ryan is such a special man of the Lord and Emily you are a lucky gal to have some one love you the way Ryan does! On the flip side, Emily's is as equally as wonderful of a gal and it makes so much sense to see how God has brought this perfect, kind and loving pair together! It was so beautiful to see them come together in a truly God honoring way at Grace Church in SLO. They topped off the evening by hosting a fabulous reception at the San Luis Country Club!

Ryan & Emily, I am so excited for you both and I can't wait to see what is in store for your future together!

I hope you enjoy the images and talk with you both soon!

Kayla and Andrew: Beautiful love

On July 18th I had the amazing privilege to photograph the beautiful union of Andrew and Kayla. I was such a beautiful day in simply every way! The purity and joy shared between this couple and the two families that were coming together really made the day such a pleasure to be part of!
The wedding took place at Grace church down town and the reception followed at Andrews parents house. It was so much fun to be at their home. The home grown vibe of the yard mixed perfectly with the classy shabby chic style of the decor.(see photos below) Kayla has such great eclectic taste and everything was cutesy, artsy and ideal!
Oh and before I forget, one thing that was soooo fun was that she had all the ladies make different desserts which were strewn across the yard in little clusters and each cake or treat, had a little card with the name of the lady who made them!! Loved it so country living!! Kayla maybe you should go in to wedding coordinating and event design. :)
Well everyone, hold on to your hats because this is a really long post (over 50 slides) as I could not and I mean could not cut images out so sorry if you are bored. :)

Side note: I could not have done it without my amazing team of assistants! Thanks Abigail and Josh for making the day run so smooth and be so much fun at the same time.
Enjoy the pics everyone and Kayla and Andrew I am sooo excited for your image viewing! See you soon! :)
