Amanda and Ryan: Palm Springs Wedding Photographer, Ace Hotel and Swim Club

Amanda and Ryan brought their family, friends, and party faces out to the magical Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. This wedding had so much style and it was beautifully pulled off by an amazing team of artists who made the day feel effortless: floral designs by Dainty Lion, rentals by Witty Rentals, hair and makeup by Amy Clarke, and planning by Beau and Arrow Events. Amanda designed her own dress because she is basically a fashion genius and as you can tell from his smolder, Ryan is a man among men. The party was an absolute blast thanks to tunes spun by the Flashdance and to all the guests who know how to get down. The night was topped off with a glorious polar bear dip in the pool – couldn’t have thought of a better ending ourselves.

Nohea and Cameron: Destination Wedding Photography, Paso Robles, CA, Cellar 360

We were so happy to finally meet Cameron and Nohea on their wedding day. They are some of the most genuine, joy-filled people you’ll find. They brought people all the way from Hawaii and New York to share in their wedding day in Paso Robles, CA. Their joy was so obviously contagious to those around them. We spent a good amount of time frolicking with these two in the grape vines at Cellar 360 during sunset. I can’t imagine a better way to spend a Saturday. 

Cheers!

Danny and Christine: Wedding Photography, Ontario, CA

Peter and I love taking photographs at weddings. There’s no doubt about that. But what really makes our job amazing is getting to meet and hang out with so many awesome people. Meeting Christine and Danny (and their ADORABLE son James) was such an rewarding experience. Christine and Danny were already married earlier in the year but had never had a chance to celebrate with their family and friends. So what better reason to through a big party?! We had so much fun hanging out and really enjoyed celebrating with their awesome wedding party. We also got to explore the spectacular Claremont Colleges with the couple for some portraits before the wedding. We seriously could have shot there all day. Please enjoy the photos and continue to check back for more great stuff coming soon!

Ryan and Caitlin: Wedding, Carmel Valley, Holman Ranch

Today we take you to Holman Ranch in the beautiful Carmel Valley.  It’s easy to be inspired when you’re in the midst of such amazing scenery and around an awesome couple in love. We’re so happy that Ryan and Caitlin asked us to photograph their wedding. Not only did we have a blast but, we made some new friends in the process. They said their vows over looking the valley, ate dinner in one of the coolest courtyards, and danced the night away in a rad barn. Oh and did I mention that there were fire pits and s’mores? More weddings like this please!

Colin and Leigha – Bard Mansion, Port Hueneme, CA

Here’s the deal: I have no idea where to start with this wedding but here it goes. Colin and Leigha are some of the raddest people you will ever meet. We’ve known Leigha for a really long time and couldn’t be happier that she found a guy as awesome as Colin. Their day was seriously so much fun. The Bard Mansion in Port Hueneme provided a killer background for these gnarly nuptials. All of the guests and family were super welcoming and let’s just say the whole bridal party took the role of “party” very seriously. It’s weddings like these that stop us in our track and remind us of how amazing it is that we get to do this for a living. Really rad if you ask me. Anyway, thanks again Colin and Leigha for having us out – you guys are the best!

Danny and Jenny’s Rooftop Terrace Wedding – Portland, OR

Every now and then Peter and I do really long blog posts….its not really our thing, but there are exceptions to every rule. When we come across a couple like Danny and Jenny, we just can’t help ourselves. They invited us to be a part of their rooftop wedding in Portland this summer. It was basically what one might describe as “magical.” They currently live in Los Angeles but decided to get married in downtown Portland where they first met. There’s no getting around the fact that Danny and Jenny are beautiful people, but that doesn’t just mean on the outside. It was such a privilege to see how in love these two people are. We were so happy to be able to explore and be inspired by a new city. I hope this is the first of many Portland weddings we get to photograph. Keep a look out as we will be posting some more photos from our travels through the Northwest soon!

Albert and Sherry’s Wedding – Bard Mansion, Port Hueneme, CA

Bert and Sherry’s wedding was such a privilege to be a part of. They are so incredibly in love and it couldn’t have been a more joyous occasion. Its so awesome to become good friends with the couples we photograph – we can’t wait to hang out with them again. The bride and groom both looked stunning (Bert even wore his dinosaur socks for the occasion) and the Bard Mansion was beautiful. The night ended with one of the craziest wedding dance parties we’ve witnessed complete with lasers and a smoke machine. All this to say, it was a great day and we were so happy to be involved. If you haven’t had a chance to see their engagement photos yet, click here.

Matt and Leah’s Awesome Orchard Wedding – Private estate, Carpinteria, CA

This wedding was simply amazing. Matt and Leah inherited an avocado ranch that had been in Matt’s family since the 1890s. The ranch and the house are still mostly original and provided a beautiful and inspiring backdrop for the day. Matt and Leah are super laid back and genuine people – we had a really great time getting to know them. Their wedding was held on a sunny springtime day outside the beautiful town of Carpinteria, CA. The drive up to their house is covered in a canopy of old trees and looks like something out of a fairy tale. The ceremony and reception took place on the lawn overshadowed by an ancient redwood. All in all, it was a beautiful occasion and we felt so privileged to be asked to photograph such a special event. We had an awesome time hanging out with Matt and Leah and enjoyed taking photos and exploring their land. We are so excited to share these photos with you!

Leah and Justin’s Wedding, Strathern Park, Simi Valley, CA

A really awesome thing just happened! Our friends Leah and got married.

I have to thank my amazing husband Peter that pretty much shot this whole wedding all on his own. I fell into the category of “bridesmaid” rather than “photographer” at this event (though I still couldn’t help picking up the camera a few times).

Anyway, The wedding was a blast. The day was perfect. Strathern Park was beautiful. I got to wear converse all day. We couldn’t be happier that Justin and Leah get to share in the amazing gift of marriage.

Clay and Hayley – Wedding Photography, Elks Lodge, Carpinteria, CA

Clay and Hayley: Clayley. My brother James asked me to photograph a wedding with him and it was rad. You can check out his work here! Clay and Hayley are super sweet and were a ton of fun to hangout with. The Elks Lodge in Carpinteria ended up being an awesome venue and provided some killer photo opportunities. Here are some of my favorites from the day.
