Danielle said she's been planning her wedding since she was a little girl and it showed! We're not even sure if she missed any little detail! Danielle and Nathan must be made for each other. He was in on the planning and surprised her with his "special" shoes. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, including the bride and the groom!
This weekend's wedding could not have been more beautiful. Alicia and Ryan were just an absolutely gorgeous couple, inside and out! They had so much energy and charisma, that it made our job sooo easy. Alicia and Ryan met in high school and became engaged after Ryan became a police officer for the Redondo Beach Police Department. During the wedding they played a slideshow of photos and included the video of Ryan proposing to Alicia, it was so romantic!!

So I'm running a little behind on this one! Before Kelly and I went to Indiana, Kentucky and North Carolina I went on a really fun engagement session with Marina & Jason. They were so much fun, we went bowling together! Okay so not a normal engagement session but they met when Jason worked at the snack counter at a bowling alley (years ago) and Marina would always order french fries and a coke. Jason said he won her heart, or at least got her attention, when he started to give her french fries on the house!
We went from the bowling alley and headed to their favorite beach in Carpenteria. We hung out until sunset and had a great time just hanging out and playing in the sand. This was a great day!
Friday was a great start to a long engagement road trip. On Wednesday evening Jim and I took a red eye flight back east and stayed in Chicago for the night. On Friday afternoon we headed out to South Bend, Indiana to Notre Dame for Joseph and Carolyn's engagement session. Even though their wedding is in California they really wanted their photos to be taken at Notre Dame, after all, this is where they met! It's so great that they made the trip to meet us here to share such a special day with us. We are so happy to be able to give them engagement photos that reflect such a personal, important part of their lives.
All I can say is that is was a beautiful day in Santa Barbara this past Sunday!! 92 degrees, sunny, cool breeze off of the beach and Vanessa and Juve were ready for the beach and the night!
We had so much fun on this shoot! Jim and Juve talked about how they love shoes and Vanessa and I stayed focused on the engagement shoot and wedding plans. It was a perfect day of walking in the park, taking a stroll on the beach and finishing it all off on State Street in downtown S.B. Loved it!
We were worried about rain, Stefanie and Jared say they don't like to have their picture taken and all they knew was that they wanted pictures in downtown Ventura.
So we had our work cut out for us, or so one would think! But all I can say is that Stefanie and Jared were so great to work with! They came riding up on their bikes and had great engergy throughout the entire session. From riding their bikes all over Ventura for us or just strolling along Main Street they were so much fun to hang out with and take photographs of. We ended the day by sharing a drink at a great little martini bar and talking about their wedding (and some fun wedding stories) and as Stef said, "This was painless" and I told her I would quote her on that!
