Cambria Outdoor Wedding

I meet a lot of great brides and grooms… but Sarah and Chris were exceptionally amazing with their joy, love and planning of their Cambria outdoor wedding. I was felt so fortunate to be their photographer!

We collaborated on their timeline, and when I arrived it was seamless. Everyone in their circle of family and friends was overly beaming with pride and love, and I was beginning to think Sarah and Chris were patron saints. 🙂 Throughout the ceremony, portraits and reception time, I heard so many expressions of how caring, generous and smart both Sarah and Chris were, that I too was beaming. The positive vibes were contagious!!!

Their Cambria outdoor wedding was amazing because Cambria Pines Lodge is amazing! There are so many gorgeous backdrops… taking portraits after your wedding is additionally lovely time together. The large hedge around the property shields their space from wind and noise and it’s absolutely lovely!!!

I feel so thankful to be a wedding photographer in Cambria!

Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding in Spring

Planning an outdoor Spring wedding can be risky since weather is unpredictable. But that didn’t detour Leann and Matt from booking their Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding! They had the luck of the Irish (…it looked like Ireland with the large grassy areas), and were blessed with high clouds and peeks of sun, for a perfect mid-day ceremony outside!

The Santa Barbara Courthouse is a lovely venue for a small wedding in late March. Friends and family set up white folding chairs, brought in a few furniture pieces + their own wood trellis + wood stumps to define the isle, and adorned it all with fresh flowers! After the ceremony, there were endless opportunities for gorgeous wedding portraits around the diverse foliage and six sides of the Courthouse building.

Here’s a link to info on the Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding, and some info on Weddings in Santa Barbara.

I would definitely recommend a Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding! I’ll be photographing an indoor elopement in June there, so check back and see what that’s like! And don’t hesitate to send me a message or email me with any questions, I was recently a bride myself and know what it’s like to be in your shoes!

Jenna + Cody’s Red & Black Wedding

Red and Black Wedding_Small Town_Destination_Cambria_CA_Photographer

Jenna + Cody’s red & black wedding took place in the gardens of Robin’s Restaurant. Her elegant, fitted, long black wedding dress was so unconventional, yet perfect for a December wedding.

Jenna hired Rhonda Johnson from Bridal Hair and Makeup to help her get ready. Rhonda is such a positive, sweet energy on your wedding day, you just feel relaxed in your chair while she is uses her amazing stylist skills in a natural, elegant fashion.

Jenna + Cody are adorable together, both emulating a natural softness and care towards each other and all family members. They played a really cute shoe game during the reception, where they held each other’s shoes, and statements like “this is the messier person in the relationship” were read. whoever thought it most applied to the other, raised the that shoe! The toasts made were so loving and funny I felt like I just fell in love with these two families.

I am blessed to live in Cambria, and am so happy to be a wedding photographer here!
