We love shooting at the Turnip Rose! Not only a beautiful place to shoot- but also less than 5 minutes from our home :) This wedding party was a blast! Here are some of our favs from the day...

Santa Barbara wedding photography - Firestone Vineyards Santa Ynez Valley

Firestone Vineyard

We had such a great time at this wedding at the Firestone Vineyard! I am not sure if I have seen a happier bride. From the moment she walked into the dressing room - until she left their limo that evening - she was enjoying their day as much as she could.
The vendors were amazing as well as the venue. Although it's a little bit of a drive for us - we LOVE doing weddings here.









Such a sweet, sincere groom.




They rented a trolley to take guests to and from the ceremony site on the vineyard. The Bride and bridesmaids took the last ride with myself and the bagpiper on board. It let us off a little bit earlier and the bagpiper played infront of the trolley as it drove up to the site. Pretty cool.












The vineyards were just beautiful - no grapes - but lots of greenery.








The dinner was in the barrel room. It had a really neat ambiance. :)

A sweet surprise from the groom - a limo ride

We did this wedding in October and it was such a sweet couple! :) Things were a little different at Tivoli Terrace because they had the ceremony downstairs. Super nice couple and a great night overall.

CONTEST VOTING

Orange County Engagement Photography Session - Balboa Beach, CA

I am proud of myself on this one (this is Brian) Not only did I shoot it for a good friend of mine, I also edited, lightroomed, photo-shopped, downloaded, and managed to get through the whole process without ANY help from Jennifer. (well, she did let me take her Mark II to the beach but that's it!) My photographer buddy Mike came along too but I'm sure he had to have his wife do the hard stuff for him, right Mae??

Vote for me!

Jennifer entered a contest for "the best Disneyland memory" and made it to the finals! Now it's all about the votes-
Be sure to vote for Jennifer here

It's finally hockey season!

We have been big Anaheim Duck fans for the last few years. Here are some pics we took of the family before a home preseason game at the Honda Center. Our season seats are much better than these- we were actually on the wall on the last row (which is beyond nose-bleeders) because the kids could care less what the view is!

Cody didn't make it to this game but he still dressed for it. This was Tyler's first hockey game and lately he has been asking, "when we are going to go to hockey again?"







Elliot & Bri

My bro and his kid joined us at the top of the world...




some more friends...


and now for the best part... Brian told B that if he danced a lot, they might put him on TV... no idea where the kid got his moves?? At the end of the video he hits his hand on the seat and cries. :(
