Ace + Robby | Belmond El Encanto Hotel, Santa Barbara Wedding

Where do I even begin with these two?

From the moment I met Ace & Robby for their engagement session last year, I knew we were going to be lifetime friends (and it wasn’t just our mutual adoration of Taylor Swift, though that definitely fast tracked our friendship). Showing up on their wedding day really felt like arriving at a dear friend’s wedding — I cried during their ceremony, laughed and aww’ed during their first dance, and felt full to the brim all day. There are just some weddings that remind me what that partnership looks like, what a marriage commitment means, and how wonderful it is to share your life with someone who truly SEES you.

Narrowing down my favorite images to best tell the story of their wedding day was SO HARD. Sorry not sorry for the explosion of love and magic in this one post. It’s. A. Lot.

Amber + Gabe | Ocean Point Ranch, Cambria Wedding

You know when you meet people and get this creeping feeling the Universe had its hand in crossing your paths? I instantly felt that tug the moment I met Amber and Gabe on their wedding day.
These two are BEST FRIENDS, and you can tell from a mile away. Joy and high vibrations buzz all around them, and I am so freakin grateful to have had the honor of documenting all of it.

Plus, any bride who ditches her shoes for her entire portrait session is my kind of gal.

Dane + Lisa | Marfarm, San Luis Obispo Wedding

Give me all the intimate weddings with horses and golden sunsets.
Dane & Lisa’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that there are still good and joyous things in the world for those who pay attention.

Atascadero Wedding – Matt & Kassie

When I was 18 years old, I got a job waiting tables at a local pizza joint. Little did I know that 3 years of serving breadsticks and pepperoni pizza alongside this handsome fella would lead me to this day: the day he married the light of his life.

And boy did he pick a good one. Kassie is a kindred spirit for CERTAIN: complete with Harry Potter nerdery and thick rimmed glasses. Meeting her was like looking into some strange parallel universe.

This job of mine never ceases to blow my mind. It’s proof that the connections we make throughout our life — no matter how small or seemingly insignificant at the time become a part of our path forever. And what a beautiful journey it is.
