alex and amanda's wedding at fess parker's doubletree in santa barbara

this was an absolutely beautiful wedding from start to finish! a gorgeous couple, a perfect santa barbara day, and the perfect setting at fess parker's doubletree resort. and alex and amanda are just as beautiful inside as they are out. jenny and i loved being around both of them! and any bride who is willing to sit in the sand in her wedding dress on her wedding day scores HUGE points in my book. amanda was ready to go all out for photos. ever since the first time i talked with amanda on the phone, i started looking forward to this wedding. and after the e-session, and i was able to meet both alex and amanda i knew their wedding would be awesome! i can't thank alex and amanda enough for allowing me to be their photographer. ann johnson coordinated the whole day beautifully for all 300 guests, the flowers were designed by kaleidoscope, ams entertainment made sure everyone was dancing the whole night.

cody and aynsley's wedding

cody and aynsley are two of the busiest folks in all of arizona, and as a result their wedding day was the first time i'd had the chance to meet them face to face. we of course had chatted on the phone and a had a conference call or two. but, it was an absolute joy to discover how down to earth and easy going they are - and even sweeter to see how much they are madly in love with each other. it was a bit of a gray santa barbara day, but everyone was stoked when a touch of blue sky poked through just in time for the ceremony. here are some of my favorite shots from the day. thanks to alex morgan for a couple of these shots as well.
