2017 was one epic year for me — I got pregnant with my first child, my husband and I went on our honeymoon/babymoon in Santorini, Paris, and London, and I came back to shooting and working more than ever before, so it was a good time for me to take a break from this blog.
Here we are in 2018, and I’m so proud to share this stunning wedding I shot in the very last weeks of my third trimester. If there were ever a fairytale location to get married in Southern California, I believe one of the top choices would be the Santa Barbara Courthouse. Eric and Emily did this SO RIGHT. Eric was decked out in a tux, Emily in a minimal and stunning gown that fit her to perfection and moved so beautifully. Every one of their guests was coordinated in blues and blacks, which made for really classy looking photos set against the timeless architecture of the courthouse.
Yuki and Steve eloped back in 2016, but wanted to renew their vows and share the joy with their closest friends and family. They renewed their vows overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Yuki’s father flew all the way from Japan, and carried a photo of Yuki’s mother with him as he gave a moving toast. Yuki and Steve even broke a barrel of sake to celebrate their marriage, and served shots to each and every guest. We were starting to lose light when I asked Steve if there were any other group photos he wanted, when he spontaneously asked if we could get a photo with everyone. Everyone?! Ok, everyone!
