wedding in rome, italy - melissa and jorge

the blog is alive and kickin'! i do apologize for neglecting it, but i'm back! i'm reviving my digital self and i've made a resolution to log on to facebook as well! so what better way to get the blog going again than with melissa and jorge's awesome wedding in rome, italy at the famous hassler hotel. the hassler is located at the top of the spanish steps in rome. and in a variation of the italian wedding tradition of walking to the ceremony, melissa walked up all 138 steps to the hassler - in crazy high heels! the spanish steps are a favorite place for italians and tourists to slow down, sit, and watch the busyness go by on via dei condotti (rome's rodeo drive). so, after the rooftop ceremony we went down the steps and melissa and jorge sat with everyone else and soaked in the whole scene. the next day, we had a few moments to cruise around rome and take some more photos at their "day after session." melissa and jorge were staying at the st. regis grand, so we started there - then, had fun exploring the city.

vera and kenta's wedding

vera is a true renaissance gal from everywhere and kenta is from japan where they both live and work. vera is fluent in japanese so it was fun communicating through her a bit. they chose santa barbara as the destination for their wedding because of its beauty, and their ceremony at sunset didn't disappoint!

lindsey and mike's wedding

transplanted from the east coast, lindsey and mike brought their families out to gorgeous santa barbara for their beautiful wedding. i love lindsey and mike, their are so down to earth and easy to talk to - and i was stoked for them that the fog didn't roll in so they could show off s.b from the top of the canary hotel. the whole day ran perfectly thanks to melissa lee and zohe felici from events of santa barbara.
