Robin’s Restaurant and Gardens was, as always, gorgeous, and it was another lovely day in paradise on the Central Coast of California.  Katie + Eric’s outdoor wedding and reception at Robin’s was darling and everyone was feeling the sweetness of their union.  Katie was  just peachy to be around, and (as you can see) such a darling person to photograph.  Eric, who started off camera shy, warmed up and quite possibly enjoyed being the superstar husband!  (They had a lot of fans… even grandparents were shutter-happy!)

We walked across the street to The Historic Guthrie-Bianchini House, one of the oldest homes in Cambria, for some portraits in front of their back shed with some wild rock roses growing on it!  Congratulations to a beautiful couple!!!

{Chris’ Surprise Marriage Proposal} at Hearst Castle + Engagement Photo Shoot

Surprise wedding Proposal at Hearst Castle5

Chris probably didn’t retain much “tour information” from their Hearst Castle Cottages and Kitchen Tour, since he had a box in his pocket and was anxiously awaiting the perfect moment to propose marriage!  As the tour ended, he led his bride-to-be Ani to a secluded corner overlooking the rolling hills and majestic ocean.  (I absolutely love being a secret agent – following couples until the big moment!)  They are both architect students so being surrounded by Julia Morgan‘s designs – from Hearst’s guest houses, pools, and most of the grounds, was perfectly apropos.  Ani was so surprised she cried with joy…I almost started too.
