Peas and Carrots

In Daddy's arms...






These twins were so incredible. Not only are they amazingly sweet, they were such troopers for their debut photo session. What a blessing to be able to capture these miracles.

This session was held in this family's home. A sort of 'studio to you'. This way the babies were as comfortable as possible allowing us to capture everything we planned, and more.

I am looking forward to watching these two grow and become best friends.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Tiffanie and Eric! We had a blast with their engagement session in Cambria, California. We were so blessed to have chosen the one day it didn't rain. Everything was so fresh and clean.

Tiffanie and Eric were so sweet together and jumped right into the session. Their wardrobe was very impressive and perfectly coordinated not to be to matchy-match.

I just love their "how we met" story as well. Especially told by Eric. Too sweet! I am looking forward to the big day you two. It will be here before we know it.

A Mountaintop Wedding

JOCELYN & NICK
Jocelyn and Nick were married at Figueroa Mountain just outside the beautiful Los Olivos wine country. Their friends and family came from around the world to celebrate and witness their commitment to each other. What a glorious day it was with an amazing backdrop.

venue: Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse, Los Olivos, California
catering: Santa Barbara BBQ Gourmet Catering







Jocelyn and Nick were escourted 'down the ailse' by their parents who were so adoring of their children and so happy for them.











This shot just shouts 'the hills are alive' to me!



One of Jocelyn's relatives is a fellow photog. Here he is walking back from shooting the sunset.


Soooo cute!


It was a bit chilly on this November day and Nick was always making sure his bride was warm.


Gretchen is the coordinator from the Figueroa Farmhouse, what a jewel to work with. She was so easy-going, which was just what Joc and Nick needed.

The staff from Santa Barbara BBQ were amazing to work with as well. Not only was the food incredible, their care and service of the guests and us photographers did not go unnoticed.

It certainly takes a team of people to make weddings run seamlessly for the bride and groom and I was honored to get to work with all of the vendors Joc and Nick selected.





Joc & Nick ~ Thank you so much for having us. Summer and I enjoyed getting to know you and your friends and family. You two are such wonderful friends and make such a great couple. Blessings for the years to come!

Venue: Private Residence in Paso Robles
Makeup: Rochelle, matron of honor
Flowers: Fleur-Flowers, Paso Robles
Catering: Phoenix Fine Catering, San Luis Obispo
DJ and MC: Mike of AMS Entertainment




Amber and Brian sent each other gifts while they were getting ready. Brian gave Amber a necklace with both of their birthstones...so sweet. Amber gave Brian an engraved harmonica with "Let's make beautiful music! Forever yours, Amber"


The groomsmen were awesome! The amazing Summer, our second shooter, had so much fun capturing some great poses. Good job guys!


Amber's girls were so supportive and sweet. Working to help make all the details come together. Everything turned out perfect! Thanks for all of your help girls.











The food prepared by Phoenix was incredible. There was an amazing ginger pork combination that just danced in your mouth.







OK...this was so rad. After the bouquet toss, Amber was getting ready for the garter removal. After she sat down Brian and his guy friends surrounded her and sang "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" ala Top Gun. Loved it!

Mike did such an amazing job with the song selection, everyone kept dancing all night and wanted more music even though it was pretty chilly.



Amber and Brian ~ Many congratulations. It was such a joy to get to know you and your family through this entire experience. You two are so meant to be together. Best wishes for the amazing years to come ~ Amy

Rustic Beauty

LYNDSIE & JASON
Venue: Double R Ranch ~ Visalia, California

Lyndsie and Jason selected a barn for their wedding and reception. A barn/ranch setting is so ideal because the rustic setting really makes all of the details stand out. Plus, all of the different opportunities for shots with the amazing backgrounds.


























What an amazing day and evening. Lyndsie and Jason's family and friends could not have been more loving and supportive of them. What a blessing it was to capture this day. Thanks for having me! ~ Amy
