It was the perfect summer afternoon and I was so excited to hit a few of my favorite places in SB.  The Mission and Rocky Nook Park - NEVER disappoint.  Ever.  

Bernadette and Joe were a blast to photograph - Joe does a great Chandler impersonation - he had us all laughing!  And I am so glad they were laughing because they both have such amazing smiles, and teeth - wow, gorgeous.  I love the endearing looks that they exchanged, I loved how he made her laugh and I loved how she quietly, patiently loved him.  It was so sweet. And did you see her shoes?  Love.  Wish I could wear heels like that and not kill myself.  

I can't wait for their wedding at the St. Regis Laguna Beach later this year.  WOO HOO!

You know it's a good wedding when you have an impossible time trying to edit down the photos.  I think Corine smiled and laughed more on her wedding day than I did on mine - and that is A LOT!  Haha.  I feel so fortunate to be able to work with such happy, down-to-earth couples.  They make my job so easy and enjoyable and being in love never looked so good.

It was so much fun photographing such a vibrant, loving couple...the Four Seasons Biltmore was the perfect backdrop for them and the amazing Mindy Rice really outdid herself on the florals.  This wedding had the best team of professionals that I could ever dream up and the fabulous Jill LaFleur was head of it all!  And she is always dressed so cute while she's working - I don't know how she does it.  She is the best!

Thank you MAR (with T.E.A.M.) for your incredible talent - Corine's look was stunning. Santa Barbara DJ's kept the party moving and let me tell you - Ben really knows how to shake a leg!  And of course, everything looks better in great lighting so thank you Ambient Event Design for making us all look good.

It's always nice to start off the day with a little Jimmy Choo.

I love this shot that my incredible second shooter got - thanks for your help Kacie Jean!

A few things I've learned - there is nothing and I mean nothing better than a sleeping baby in daddy's arms.  Mark was sleeping too in this photo - but he didn't look quite a cute.  (I think his mouth was wide open and there might even have been a little drool...haha)

 Piper is going to be one photographed little girl. 

Piper does this rodeo move in the bath - it looks like she is riding a bull.  She arches her back throws up one hand and then splashes back down.  She provides us endless amounts of entertainment.  We just love her oh-so-much!
