Home on the Range: Andrew & Sara


What an Fabulous event!!!!
The other week I photographed the wedding of Sara and Andrew Berry at the whimsical and historical Santa Margarita Ranch!
The Ranch was a photographers dream location as around every corner was a new and even more unbelievable backdrops from the vintage Trains and barn to the horses and classic movie sign!
All the details of this event were spectacular from the amazing flower moss balls by Panacea Floral to the Beautiful lighting and lively Entertainment which was provided by Brian from Kramer Djs. It was also so cool as the event was catered by incredibly talented students from the Paso Robles Culinary Arts Academy! They made such yummy food and the cake they made was so professional and tasty too (see photos below).
I have had such a great time getting to know Sara and Andrew over the past few months. It has been nice as they are local as I have had the chance to get together with Sara many times just to chat and get also to hear about her upcoming wedding! I really love it when brides get so excited about all the details of their wedding. It makes the photos so much fun when the couples are excited about them and when they put the time and thought into the planning process as it really allows their personalities to show through!
Andrew and Sara, thanks you so much for the honor of photographing your wedding!
It was truly and amazing day and I am so excited that now the pre-wedding business is over for you and that now you are married YEAH!!! :) Have a blast on your honeymoon in Hawaii and I can't wait to schedule the image viewing with you both as the images are so much fun see you soon!

The Cliffs Resort: Ben & Eve


Several weeks ago I had the privilege to photograph the beautiful Wedding of Ben and Eve Fine.
It was such a stunningly beautiful day at The Cliffs Resort in Shell beach. The blue sky and crystal water made the scene just breathtaking. The view was also stunningly accented by an amazing floral and curtain arbor provided by Panacea Event Floral Design.
I had s0 much fun shooting the rehearsal and prep shots as it really allowed me to get to know all of Ben and Eves friends and family before the big day! It was also especially fun for me as my neighbor and one of our past brides were both in the bridal party! I love it when the world keeps getting smaller and smaller! :)
Their wedding had such a great vibe of and tradition, sincerity, and love throughout the entire event. From the careful thought Ben put into the custom monogrammed pocket watches to the tear flowing traditional Jewish Ceremony with the colorful Ketubah!
The reception tent was also stunning and the party so much fun as they had an amazing live Show band up from LA called Soulicious there to keep the party going all night! We really had so much fun dancing to this fabulous live music as Eve had also provided fun dancing props like glow sticks and glasses to keep the fun alive even till the very end of the evening!

Wow...Ben and Eve what a fabulous day! Thanks so much for letting our team take part in it! You two are so sweet and I am so grateful to have gotten to know such a fun and sweet couple. I wish you the best in your marriage and Dan and I are so glad that you just live down the road so hopefully we can get together! See you both on October 2nd!

Zenaida Cellars: Jed and India


So the long awaited post!
Thanks so much to all you friends and family for your continued patience as I know you all have been so kindly waiting to see these images.

Where to start... as you can see it has been such a fun and crazy summer for me (6 weddings in one month)! I feel continually so blessed to photograph all the weddings that I do as I just LOVE my job and think it is the best although at times I feel a bit slammed and nuts with all the post processing. So thanks to you all for your patience. :)

Jed and India's wedding was such a wonderful day full of love, beauty, friends and good food! :)
The event was held at Zenaida Cellars in Paso Robles off the 46. What a gorgeous place! I just love shooting there from the fun fountain to the big oak tree and vineyards. It was truly a stunning spot for a wedding!

Everything at this event was so planned and carefully put together from the fabulous center pieces with butterflies to the to-die-for Spanish style food cooked by Chief Charlie and his team! It was fun to talk with India through the planning process and periodically get updates from her about the things they were doing and such as it made the final culmination of the day that much sweeter! You could really see on the day of, all the time and thought spent pay off as the event ran so smoothly and the guests had so much fun.

Jed and India, thanks so much for allowing me to shoot your wedding. Dan and I had such a fun time hanging out with you both and I hope that when you come back in town we can get together! :) I hope you enjoy the images I can't wait for you to see the rest! :)
