Laura and Travis are pure hilarity. They have so much spunk and love so you can imagine how much fun it was to shoot with them. My abs were literally sore the next day. Not only did they bring an awesome chair for their session, lugging it all around the fields, but they also brought their adorable pup Charlie who was also pretty hilarious. They will be getting married later this year at the gorgeous Maravilla Gardens in Camarillo and I cannot wait to see them both again.
So excited to share this eclectic and funky wedding with you all. Angie and Wes were originally supposed to get married in Palm Springs but after a few changes decided to have a local (to them) wedding at The Rumor boutique hotel in Vegas. It was such a funky little hotel and was a blast to photograph in as well as stay at. Angie and Wes were so sweet and got us a room in their block of the hotel, so fun. It was a blast getting to know their little family. So enjoy their details including the super fun drum circle before the ceremony, wooden cake toppers, and antique tissue favors!
Here are some of my favorites from their detail filled wedding.
If I only had on word to describe Briana and Mike it would be sincere. They are from head to toe in love and when hanging out with them you can just feel it. You may notice we have quite a few sequence shots in their session, definitely some engagement session cardio goin on here. It was so much fun to just go out and shoot with them, it was such a relaxed and beautiful day and I cannot wait to see them again at their Borrego Springs wedding in a few weeks!
You know what I love? Couples who really make the engagement session their own. That’s exactly what Nicole and Luke did, right down to driving from up North in their VW Bug to include it in the shoot, that is dedication and I am so glad they did it. We had tons of fun shooting in Carpinteria and I cannot wait for their wedding up in Petaluma this July when it will be my turn to drive up to them. Also a huge thanks to both of them for sending me a great bottle of wine from the winery they work at, so sweet.

Brenda - I had left with out leaving any love, but then I hate when people do that on my blog, so I am back. I love your eye for a great shot. The session looks like it was a ton of fun. I love the time from the setting sun. The chair was perfect. I love her little duck belt.
s h e r r y - :) So cute!! Love her light blue dress, and the navy (cardigan?) too!!! :D
Michael Gaspersic - These are just beautiful, wonderful and brilliant. Really shows the love and fun you find in each other. I wish you two a very happy and long life together. My wish for you is the light in your eyes and the look in them for the other, never dies. Keep the flame burning!
Also for the last photo…..save that for the honeymoon!
Sarah Harmon - I met these two at my first convention a few years ago, and I adore them both, you’ve captured their personalities very well. They are so ADORABLE together….I wonder if Laura still has the stuffed dog a fan had brought for her…Travis hid it. :)
