santa barbara engagement photography were wed recently at The Crossroads Estate in Los Olivos! Photographing this wedding was a dream come true for many reasons. First, I've always wanted to shoot at this stunning rustic barn venue. Second, Lani owns Spark Events, a top Santa Barbara lighting design company for weddings + events. It is always such a HUGE honor and privilege to photograph for a wedding industry peer! Lani knows everyone and works with the best of the best, so to be asked to photographed his big day was definitely humbling and so exciting. But lastly and most importantly, this wedding was a dream come true to photograph because Lani + Jess are truly the sweetest people ever and were so wonderful to work with. Weddings are always amazing when the couple is so genuine and kind!As you can imagine, Lani + Jess lined up a dream team of vendors. Donna Romani Events planned the wedding perfectly, NLC Productions created a stunning design and florals for the day, Lani's creative team at Spark knocked it out of the park with some insanely gorgeous lighting design, Riviera Productions rocked it out on video, and a big thanks to Kelsey for second shooting for me!This wedding has to be seen to be believed, it is so so beautiful! So check out the images below and enjoy!
I am so so excited to share this stunning Napa, California vineyard wedding with y'all today! Remember the adorable Brianna + Jordan? Well, this pair recently wed at the gorgeous Gabrielle Collection Vineyard in Napa. This venue is very exclusive, only taking on a few private events a year! And oh my were these two lucky to snag it! Besides being set in the rolling hills of Napa, the property grounds of Gabrielle Vineyard are just lovely-- featuring lavender fields, vineyards, citrus trees, a lake, and a manicured garden. I can't think of a more beautiful place for a wedding and I was so lucky to photograph it!Brianna + Jordan's wedding was as amazing as these two. From their dog Chauncey being a part of the Wedding Party, to their AMAZING personalized vows (in which Brianna delivered the best line I've ever heard-- "loving you is like finding money in a pair of pants!"), to the delicious gourmet dinner, to the very funny and heartfelt toasts delivered by their parents and friends... everything was just so full of joy and love. It was not hard to just beam from ear to ear while photographing their day! I am so lucky to have such fun, loving and generous clients like them... but really could I expect anything less since they were a referral from my darlings Alex + Renita?!There is lots to see from this great wedding so please scroll down! Also major thanks to Alex for being a great 2nd shooter! Oh, and if you feel called to see **even more** photos from this affair, please watch the SLIDESHOW HERE.
How ADORABLE is this shot of Jordan's dog, Chauncey, getting ready??!!
The look on Jordan's face as he saw Brianna walking down the aisle was PRICELESS!
