Ziva and Shad celebrated their wedding in beautiful Santa Barbara.  The ceremony and reception were held at the Santa Barbara Greek Orthodox church.  The church really is so breathtaking.  I kinda feel like I had a mini-vacation to Santorini, Greece.  I love the greek architecture!  We even got some amazing Santa Barbara golden light!

Great groomsmen portraits by Meghan!

I’ve shot so many weddings at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church, but I was so excited that Asha and Stanley decided to have their reception there as well.  The ceremony and reception were so beautiful! I love Asha’s red Chinese dress.  A girl should always have more than one dress! It is a celebration after all!  Great time was had by all. Congratulations Asha & Stanley!!!!

Love these bobble heads!

Christine and Chris said their wedding vows at St.Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church in Agoura.  I love the modern design of the Catholic church.  We also took some fun vintage portraits in the oak trees!

Here’s part 1 of Colleen and Brian’s fabulous Lake Michigan wedding.  I had the pleasure of second shooting for my friend J.C. Carley.  There are so many amazing images that I wanted to blog it just wouldn’t fit in one post!   Colleen got ready at her parent’s house on Lake Michigan. I love the green walls and orange vents!  They added so much color to her getting ready images.  Her Callalilly Vera Wang dress is fabulous!!!  She had it altered so that it zips into a cocktail dress!  Wait for Part 2 to see this sexy number! The ceremony was at St. Ann of the Dune’s church.

Since Michelle and Steve love the ocean so much Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club was the perfect choice for their wedding reception!  I’m so glad we got to take some portraits on the wooden sailboat!  That was so much fun.  I loved the view from the yacht club at night. The harbor looks so beautiful at dusk.  Congratulations Michelle and Steve!  I hope your having a fabulous honeymoon :)

Stephanie and Kyle are such a cute couple! I really enjoyed photographing this wedding.  Both Stephanie and Kyle looked so amazing!  They were married at Stephanie’s Dad’s church.  The ceremony was so touching!  There is just something so special about having your Dad marry you :)  We took some fun portraits before the ceremony and even more after.  This reception really kept us on our toes as each table serenaded Stephanie and Kyle!  Instead of the traditional clinqing of the glasses these guests really had to work for it ;)   So much fun!  Stephanie and Kyle are enjoying their honeymoon right now! It’s a suprise for Stephanie… I can’t wait to hear where they went!

Hanna and Tyler had the best country wedding I’ve seen so far. Hanna’s grandfather married the couple at Bethania Lutheran Church in Solvang.  The reception was held at Montanaro Farms in Los Olivos.  When I saw the bales of hay in the field at Montanaro Farms I was in love!!!  It’s the site of the old grocery store in Los Olivos.  They kept all signs and the whole farm just has a fabulous vintage warmth about it.  Hanna and Tyler are so lucky to have had such a great reception site!  We took lots of portraits in the bales of hay.  I hope you two are having a fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii right now!  Congratulations!!!

Erin and Ernie planned a great wedding and reception! The ceremony was held at Church of Our Saviour and the reception was held at the Ye Olde Kings Head in Santa Monica. I just love a good Irish pub! An Irish pub with an Irish band is the icing on the cake! Ernie wore his Army uniform and Erin has the most fabulous pair of Manolo Blahnik’s I’ve ever seen! Even Carry Bradshaw would be jealous!

Erin booked The Mulligan’s… a great Irish band!
