The summer of love is fading.
Memories to warm the heart
for the long nights ahead.

ANDREW & SERRA July 23rd 2011




On a sunny and windy day in Santa Barbara, overlooking Hendry's Beach at Ellings Park, this sweet couple got married. A modest man and a smart lady, these two were one of the cutest couples I met.

It was a pleasure capturing their thoughtfully handmade wedding. The reception was held at the Women's Club by The Mission, with a live band (Gerry Rotshchild Band) and the Santa Barbara photo booth. Nice touch.

I was excited to try my hand at  a time lapse video of the guests arriving and hope to do some more of that in the future.

Summer is coming to an end. The harvest moon is rising tonight. I hope everyone enjoys a nice meal with a loved one or friend tonight. At least that's my plan.

JENNIFER & TOM MAY 7th 2011




Last month I went down to San-Diego to film Jennifer & Tom's wedding, 
an inspiring couple, who blew me away when they sang a duet during 
their ceremony.

Here are some highlights from their wedding day. The reception was held 
at Orfila winery, quite a romantic backdrop, amongst the tangled grapevines 
and distant mountains.

I love a wedding where the bride and groom love to dance. I especially love 
a wedding where the priest loves to dance.

                               Santa Monica Bay's Women's Club.
                               A place to get married, since 1905.
                               It is such a charming building with so much character.
                               I took these photos for Aunt Virg, 
                               flowers arranger and wedding designer extraordinaire.

Spring is on the horizon.

It is almost spring,
which means it is almost wedding season.
A time for the bride to get inspired.

The greatest source of inspiration is all around us...

in nature.

A couple things...


...I made w/ love.

These are for two little babies on their way. 
The miraculous journey we all make into this world.
Thinking about it, one stitch at a time.

MY WEDDING.

                    

I stumbled upon the handwritten invitation I made for my wedding 
over a year ago.
I hope it inspires some DIY style weddings out there.
If I could give any advice, I would say keep it simple and straight 
from the heart. 

More on my wedding day another time...
