LAURA + DANIEL'S wedding day

home. For Laura and Daniel this day was a chapter in a story that had been written long ago. Their mothers have been friends since before they were born. As time would tell- Laura and Daniel found that home is their most precious source of love. Daniel's grandfather planted a Redwood tree grove for his wife Bobbie at the Loomis family's Tar Springs Ranch (tar does actually bubble out of the ground!) in Arroyo Grande. The guests walked across the wooden bridge from the grove to the historical barn that had been cleared out and embellished just for this day. Every detail was original and homespun.

The amazing talent of Jose Villa Photography captured the details of Laura and Daniel's heartfelt imagination so beautifully. These images are the perfect illustration of a day that left us all enchanted by the past and excited for the future.

MELANIE + GAVIN in THE KNOT!

Vision. Many brides choose California's central coast as the location for their wedding as it is unsurpassed in its' majestic beauty and warm recollections of relaxed, dreamy days. What a thrill it is to see Melanie and Gavin's wedding featured in The Knot! Melanie's palette was fun, sunny and refreshing. We loved combining the natural settings of a seaside ceremony and a rustic barn reception, yet with a contemporary flair. San Luis Obispo County offers it all. We are oh, so lucky....
Cameron Ingalls Photography captured them with such brilliance that it was no surprise their wedding was destined for fame! I am grateful.



Special thanks to the gifted talents of Niki and Jonell at Events Redefined for the coordinating and the always awesome Jaime at Holland Ranch for an extraordinary day.

JUNE sunshine + kiss

family. If there was a day we all knew would be perfect, this was the one. Laura and Daniel and their families were pure inspiration...and her dad grows lemons + olives. Goodness.
Below is the "sneak preview" of their day. Volumes wouldn't dare to try to contain it... I can't wait to see more. (wait for the kiss.)
