Marianne and Joe’s Limoneira Ranch Wedding

I got to be a part of Marianne and Joe’s wedding story from the beginning. I was there for the proposal and ensuing engagement session, and I’m so glad that I got to be there for the wedding. These two were amazing to shoot and spend time with, and I’m happy to call them friends. Marianne and Joe are wedding photographers in southern California, and had of the most unique weddings I’ve been to. Joe brewed AMAZING beer for the reception and their flower girls spread hops down the aisle, among many other very original ideas.

Really, it was the most amazing day. But the things I want to say about these two have more to do with their characters and how fun they are to be around. I’m stoked that these two amazing individuals found each other and got totally married, and I’m excited for the next time I get to hang out with them.

Major thanks to Saralee at XOXO bride for making the day run so smoothly!

Genie and Larry’s Engagement, Pismo Beach

Larry and Genie used to live right next door to us. They saw our daughter come home from the hospital when she was born, and were so friendly to Courtney and I. Cameron loved their dalmation named Patches and as a toddler played him frequently.

And they’re GETTING MARRIED! When I got a facebook message from Larry saying they’d just gotten engaged and were looking for a wedding photographer, I was SO excited. They’re such cool people. We shot in Pismo Beach near their new home. I’m so happy for these two!

Danielle and Phil’s Wedding

1) Get ready.
2) Get married.
3) Eat dinner.
4) Dance all night.

That was the plan, and not much else.

This was an incredible wedding to be a part of – Danielle and Phil planned their wedding in under three months, and the simplicity was perfect. There were no reception events to plan – just a phenomenal meal to eat, pies to demolish, and a dance floor to spend the entire evening on. There were no seating arrangements, no planned speeches, and they figured out the ceremony music 15 minute before walking down the aisle. Danielle did her own hair and found her dress for around $100 on Etsy. Phil wore the same Clarks shoes he’s worn for ages. Family and friends pitched in and helped in every way imaginable, and it was a crazy fun day from start to finish.
