“When you are in love you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

-Dr. Seuss

I feel like this quote sums up exactly how Emily & Jon were feeling on their wedding day…

This was such a fun trip / experience, and an over the top amazingly beautiful wedding, just my style!  I love experiencing new places, cultures & light.  Sean & Ashley,  La Paz.       Part #1…

I literally just got this film back from the lab and I’m in love, I had to post a couple shots!  Jen and Ian had a beautiful wedding on a hill, looking over the pacific in our sleepy little town of Santa Barbara.  It rained on the wedding day, but from what I’ve heard this mans good luck to the lucky couple.  No boarders, just horizons…

This Wedding was SO beautiful…  The wedding was held at Rancho Cielo, a gorgeous modern style estate perched in the hills with views that go on forever.  Everything about the wedding was done right and I had a blast photographing it!  Heather & Stephan are a great couple and I wish them all the best in their new life together…  Hopefully you guys are nice and relaxed after being in Fiji for your honeymoon, Here’s a sneak peak!  Cheers!

Huge thanks to everyone who made this amazing wedding possible!  Floral design by Centia Batz of Petal, Event Coordination by Renea Martoff of Sharibella Events.

Ok, I LOVE Kate Moss, & I LOVE Mario Testino…. Kate Moss just go married, and you can guess who their photographer was, Mario.  I’ve been kind of freaking out about these photos for a while,  Like Jimmy Buffet said, ” Some day I will”…

So… One of my best friends just got married at the Figueroa mountain farmhouse in Santa Ynez; I was one of the groomsman…  Bit of a conflict in interests because I wanted to be the photographer for this over the top fabulous wedding!  Once I came to grips with the fact I couldn’t shoot everything, I was able to calm down and just shoot some photos for fun. My friend Ryan and his Wife Kat are an amazing couple, and they surround themselves with ridiculously cool people.  A lot of these photos I shot were of the guys, real men… The kinds of guys that only come around once in a blue moon.  The wedding was amazing… It was on a full moon, camping & partying all night long was involved, and we celebrated like no one ever has in this secluded little valley at the base of Figueroa Mountain, this I know for sure… Ryan & Kat are in the Maldives right now at a 6th Sense Resort or something for their honeymoon; Ryan had mentioned something about a personal butler before they left, whatever… Just venting a little because I REALLY want to be diving off of my own personal over the water luxury cabana into gin clear water while my butler brings me thinly sliced sashimi & fresh exotic fruit!!!! Kinda jealous right now…  seriously though, I love you guys and this was the most fun I have ever had at a wedding!  Much love…

Heidi & Kal are an amazing couple… It was so much fun shooting their intimate beautiful wedding at the Santa Barbara Court House.  I only got to spend two hours with them, but from those two hours I could feel true love and kindness, I know their journey will be a good one…  Kal proposed at the Taj Mahal which I thought was so cool!  Cheers guys!  Here’s a sneak peak…

Hey everyone!  Here are a few photos from a wedding I shot at Villa Verano in Santa Barbara the other weekend!  The wedding was amazing and I had so much fun shooting it!! Much love to Emiko and Adam…  One of the coolest couples you could ever meet!
