Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding | { Bo + Brittney }

There is nothing not to like about this wedding, especially Bo and Brittney themselves. Im going to make this short and let the pictures speak for themselves and just want to give credit where it is aptly due. The girls got ready in the luxurious Austrian Suite at the Madonna Inn with Reeda from The Queensbees on makeup. Then off to Santa Margarita Ranch which was over the top decked out with burlap and flower arrangements by Katie Noonan of Wine Country Designs (she also had a wildly creative and unique bouquet for each bridesmaid!) The night ended in a killer party with Kramer DJ’s and Entertainment and a fantastic lightening storm. phew… to the pictures!!

    Katie — Sophie great job on capturing Britt and Bo’s big day! It was great working with you and we love your talent in capturing such great details and memories!

Santa Margarita Rnach Wedding | { Nate + Leah }

Chemistry is a funny thing; its undefinable, but also undeniable. Some couple’s just have it. Cue Nate and Leah. I wasn’t planning on taking anymore weddings this fall, but when Leah called and started expounding on the plan for their day in her smokey, genuine voice, I knew I had to take it on. Since then it has become one of my pet projects. They planned a dust-bowl themed celebration at Santa Margarita Ranch, decked out with turn of the century details, decor, and attire. Succulent themed floral designs by Robin at Social Construct Events, and day of coordination by Taffy at All Traditions. Hair and makeup by my favorites, The Queensbees. As amazing as everything was, it was all peripheral to the couple themselves. Their relationship is the stuff of legend. They both have magnetic personalities, and are so genuine, quirky, fun,and uninhibited (you should see Leah tear up the dance floor!). All my best and hope your lives continue to be as unconventional and exciting as your wedding was :)

Also a special thanks to my assistant extraordinaire Amanda Driver for her work, some of which is featured below.

    Leah — Sophie! Love love love! You are such a joy to work with. Can’t wait to see the rest!

    Robin — Oh Sophie these are stunning! I wish I could have spoken to you properly at the wedding; these are def. submission worthy (Robin, the florist) :)

    Devon — These pictures are amazing!! And might I add the bride and groom are stunning!!!!!!

    Nate — Sophie, you are a phenom. These are incredible!! Thanks again so much for everything!

    Nate — Also, just realized Sophie drew hearts using the Edison lights in the third-to-last image. Pretty dope!

Meridian Vineyards Wedding | { Steven + Courtney }

There are some couple’s about whom it feels outrageous to imagine a world in which they did not exist together. People who seem to fit together just right. Steven and Courtney definitely fall into that category.  I absolutely loved watching them interact all day and getting to spend some behind the scenes time with them and their new little family.  They had a classy celebration at Meridian Vineyards in Paso Robles. The whole day was seamlessly coordinated by Jenn and her Allure Events team who also created the luxurious floral arrangements. Hair and makeup by The Queensbees. The yummies provided by Two Cooks Catering.  Reception lighting and jams pumped by Kramer DJ’s and Entertainment. Dangerously delicious cupcakes (im serious) by Double D Cupcakes. Overall, it was quite the party to celebrate quite the couple. And as usual I had a hard time narrowing down images for this post so enjoy!
