I love destination weddings! Everything is new and exciting! There is a fun energy that comes with destination weddings. I was able to take some time to explore this micro town in Mexico. I had an amazing time with both brides and their entire wedding party! Thanks to Willa and Brittany for including me in your special adventure/wedding!!!
Thanks to Elyse Butler for capturing this image of me and my lil horsey on a sunset trot.

Beautiful bride at a destination wedding in Mexico
An amazing couple just married in the beautiful Santa Ynez Wine Country at Gainey Vineyards.
Matt and Molly had the sweetest wedding at the beautiful Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens. They shared their special day with their closest family and friends. This couple was so sweet together and I am so very happy for them both!!
I love this sweet pose. They look so romantic together. The key to my posing is to catch real life moments where my couples are being authentic. Every couple has their own way of being with one another and it’s important for me to connect with them in that way. When I was starting out as a photographer, I researched many articles about posing and how to take great portraits. Here are some tips on how to put together a couples photo session. https://www.pixpa.com/blog/couple-poses-guide
The perfect dip.
This super cute couple and family had a sweet elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Congratulation Russ and Sheila!!
We headed down to The Barber Shop in Santa Barbara, Ca for Lincoln's first haircut! He did great! So did the Ito, his barber who had to cut Lincoln's hair in about 7 different locations around the shop...kids NEVER stop moving!!
Every year these two fun couples do holiday photos together with their little boys! This year was so much fun especially since now they are moving around on their own two legs!
Toni and Jason met at Taco Tuesday and the rest is history! I loved this adorable couple. They were so fun and it was a crazy day at the Santa Barbara Courthouse! There beautiful reception was at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara, CA.
Lauren and James were so fun to photograph! They are in the middle of so many new changes and adventures and getting married is one of those adventures that will last a lifetime. Congratulations to this lovely couple!
I had so much fun photographing this group of young adults. They were so funny and down for anything! Prom is such a crazy time for teens! For most, it's the final celebration before they part ways and adventure out on the next chapter of their lives. There are always those people that you never lose touch with. Here is a group that I'm sure in 10 years will still be in touch with each other.
I photographed an event for a group staying at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara several weeks ago. The event was at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. The Four Seasons Biltmore catered the event. Bella Vista Design did the beautiful set up and Allied PRA did the event coordinating.
Four Seasons Biltmore, Catering at it's finest.
Last night as well as photogaphing the sunset, I went back just before midnight and photographed the ocean by moonlight. The moon was nearly full, and the surf was crashing. It was so beautiful and peaceful. It felt like I was a million miles away.
