The reception was at the new Portland …

There was belly dancing, and those belly dancers brought items to the sofreh. The colors were fantastic. Sofreh Belly Dancers Cocktails were mixed on this ice sculpture by pouring it over …

And amazing music. I have to say I have not worked this long non-stop at a wedding before (16 …

Fast forward a year, and I was photographing their wedding at Santa Ynez. I …

And then they had a volcano at their ceremony. Pretty cool. I also really loved all the little details like the butterfly place cards – even I had one! Stonehedge Gardens is a very beautiful location as well …

Their wedding was a reflection of their calm but classy personalities. There were lots of kids playing around as well which added a positive and …

Jessica and Jamie had rain on their wedding day. This did nothing to discourage their spirits – in fact, they embraced it and had a great fun time!  While their guests were covered by a tent, they got married under the barn entrance. And then they partied! 🙂 The food was fantastic with Hawaiian food. The horses and dogs added ambiance. And people had a ton …
