Stephanie and Rob's wedding was such a joy to shoot. They were so relaxed and sweet the whole day, nothing seemed to be more important about the day other than they were getting married, which is the way you hope it to be! They both have impecable style, and a great group of friends to make the reception one heck of a party. Really, a perfect wedding altogether. Enjoy.
Off to Rancho Dos Pueblos. I love taking photos there, always such a beautiful venue. The soft and elegant color palate from the flowers, to the dresses to the decor was stunning.
I love this bridge shot. Such a sweet first look.
A few relaxed portraits before the ceremony
The flowers done by Nico from NCL Productions, were so unique and beautiful with details like real cotton mixed in to the vintage feel of the arrangements. And of course, Enjoy Cupcakes kept everyone happy with their tasty treats.

Kate and Jacob's wedding was very special to be a part of. When they booked me for their wedding, I had no idea what was coming. But when I knew they were in the hands of their mastermind designer, Tricia Fountaine, this wedding was going to be over the top, brilliant! Then when I showed up on their wedding day, I was still blown out of the water by how well everything came together. Family members, bridal party, bride, groom, down to every single guest dressed the part of this wedding. I felt like I was on a movie set. Let me know what you think of this wedding!!
This moment of Kate and her dad walking down the isle was magical. It was such a throwback to another time period and her dad looked the part perfectly!
Some thoughts from Kate about choosing their venue: "When we came to Dos Pueblos Ranch to meet with Tricia, we took a tour and fell in love immediately. The Sycamore grove really spoke to Jacob and I with a richness and beauty that took us by surprise. Everything else just became so easy, falling into place and that’s how we knew we had found the perfect place."
The amount of detail that went into this wedding was incredible.
