September 28, 2009 - 9:19 pm - Thanks so much Chelsea! You captured some great moments! And I love how you can see the stars in the panoramic venue shot. So pretty.
September 30, 2009 - 7:11 pm - Beautiful photos! Janine these are fabulous!
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!

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!!!

The wedding album has been designed! Exciting stuff! Kim and Bill’s wedding album has been designed as a 10×8 horizontal thick coffee table album. This album will match their engagement album perfectly! They had the most beautiful wedding and I hope this album does it justice. It was so held at Firestone Crossroads Estate in Los Olivos. I love photographing weddings in the Santa Ynez wine country. The is nothing like a vineyard wedding with the warm Santa Ynez sun.

I just finished ordering my sample album of Jennifer and David’s amazing wedding at Firestone Winery in Los Olivos. This winery is amazing! The weather in August up in Santa Ynez is perfect. We took some images in the Firestone barrel room as well as out in the Vineyard. The reception was held outside in the Firestone winery courtyard under the stars. It was perfection! For the album I wanted a cover that felt modern and vintage at the same time. I designed the cover in a distressed sepia to be printed on a metal cover. The accent leather is going to be a “biker chic”, which is a really nice blend between black and dark brown. I wanted to keep the album design clean and simple. Please enjoy the samples!
Here are some of my favorite spreads!
January 31, 2009 - 1:08 am - Great post Chelsea! LOVE the album spreads, beautiful work!
February 27, 2009 - 7:41 pm - Wow, Chelsea, pretty AMAZING! Gorgeous wedding and you captured it sooooo well. :)
I think the Firestone Vineyard Crossroads Estate is my most favorite place on earth! Ok maybe not on earth but definitely my number one for weddings. The Firestone barn is so rustic yet elegant. The vineyard landscape is so perfect just by itself that you don’t need many details. When Kim told me that they were getting married at Firestone Crossroads Estate I was so excited!!! Kim and Bill had the most beautiful Los Olivos vineyard wedding. I thought their details went just perfect in the barn. The weather was amazing and they were surrounded by friends and family. Who could ask for more. We did most of the photographs before the wedding so that Kim and Bill could enjoy the cocktail hour. I think it was worth it! The whole day was just perfect! Congratulations you two :)

Thanks to Rena for referring me the wedding. I think she might be next ;) hint .. hint… ;)

Jennifer and David got married at the beautiful Firestone Winery this weekend in Los Olivos. Firestone is one of my favorite places for weddings. Jennifer looked so amazing in her dress in the vineyard. We got some great photographs in the courtyard, barrel room and Firestone vineyard. With the vineyard and Santa Maria BBQ it was the best Santa Ynez wedding. The food was so good!!! I just love wine country! I really was honored to photography Jennifer and David’s wedding. They are a great pair! Congratulations!!!!
Rebecca from Duet Weddings did a fabulous job giving Jennifer and David the wedding they dreamed of!
