santa barbara engagement session - sarah and ryan

we caught another beautiful santa barbara day for sarah and ryan's engagement session at one of my favorite little beaches. sarah and ryan are madly in love, and it showed. it was non stop smiles as we had a great time on what turned out to be our own private beach.

hollister ranch wedding - nate and lindsay

another wedding i didn't get a chance to blog last fall. jenny and i loved shooting this wedding! we loved everything about it - the couple, the families, the location, the decor you name it we loved it! in fact jenny said to me (and anyone else who would listen), "this is exactly what i want kaitlyn's (our 5 year old daughter) wedding to be like!"

nate and lindsay are so madly in love it was infectious. i still can't get over the sequence of photos as nate sees lindsay for the first time. there were about 15 more perfect photos nate's reaction that i could have included in the post, but you have to narrow it down at some point...

and, i'm convinced hollister ranch is a little slice of heaven on earth - and not just because of the surf. the golden hills, blue skies, and great oak trees have something to do with it too.
