Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | Chelsea Elizabeth Photography | Westlake Village, Santa Barbara

The Santa Ynez valley is one of may favorite places on earth!  Janine and Kekona had an amazing Los Olivos vineyard wedding at Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard.  Wine country weddings are just so special!  I just love taking the Bride and Groom into the vines for some portraits.  We even headed into the nice air conditioned barrel room for a few photographs. Fess Parker has some perfectly full tall vines.  I love Janine’s mason jar and hydrangea details.  I hope everyone got some Santa Ynez wine tasting in!

Janine and Kekona’s engagement session was such an adventure!  We started at the beginning of Las Virgenes Canyon. There is such a great field that I always drive by that I’ve always wanted to photograph in. I’m so excited that we took portraits there. After the field we headed down to Surfrider beach in Malibu.    I love that there were tall long boards along the brick wall.  We also got some fun portraits of Janine and Kekone on the beach as surfers walked by. It such a perfect Southern California moment.  As we were shooting we noticed that there was no wedding happening at the Adamson house. We were so excited that we just had to do a quick walk through. I’m so in love with The Adamson House. It has such great architecture, location and light! What a trifecta!  Janine and Kekona are so blessed with great locations. I’m also really looking forward to their wedding at the Fess Parker Winery later this year.  This session was so much fun!  I was so happy when they invited me out to dinner after the session and we headed over to The Reel Inn. Such a great resturant. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks Janine and Kekona!!!
