A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of second shooting with Leah Lund from NY...this was such a gorgeous wedding with an intimate ceremony.  Thom and Jenn were so much fun to be around and this was evident not only through their personalities but through the fact that all their guests flew in from all over the country to witness their marriage.  

Their wedding took place at the Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara on the rooftop and it was a super warm beautiful fall day...

Jenn's wedding dress was designed and created by her grandmother!

Happy Monday!  This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting at the Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara and you can see below for a quick sneak peek of the gorgeous view from the rooftop.

But first...I am thinking of holding a contest on my blog.  You know, I just love contests.  In the photography industry there's always multiple contests going on..."want a free website?" and I'm there doing backflips as a prerequisite, "want to win a brand new 5d mark ii?" and I'm right there capturing video of why I think I deserve one.  So, I just love contests...who doesn't love to win free things!?!

What is this contest about, you ask?  THE HOLIDAYS!  For some unknown reason I am super pumped about it this year...despite the current 90 degree weather and the fact that I haven't worn a sweater in over a year...but needless to say, I'm excited.  The other day Mike and I were swapping our favorite holiday time stories and I'm telling you, if he would let me, I would put a tree up TODAY!  But Mike did reason that with the dry and hot weather we've been having, our tree probably wouldn't make it til Thanksgiving and it would be the biggest fire hazard of the season...so I'm waiting somewhat unpatiently, but I thought a little holiday contest might get everyone in the mood.  What do you think??!

While you're contemplating here is a sneak peek from Saturday....

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of shooting Staci's wedding with Kelli---Staci is Kelli's middle sister so it was fun to see her entire family together.  Kelli, thanks for inviting me and thank you to your family--they were so warm and welcoming!!!!

This gorgeous wedding took place at Meridian Vineyards in Paso Robles and was coordinated by Laura Robinson of Touch of Style, Event Coordination and Design.

This is a recent wedding that I second shot with Nathan Wauk (thanks Nathan!) down in Malibu at the ever so gorgeous Calamigos Ranch.  

Jessica and Andrew are such an adorable couple and their excitement throughout the day was literally contagious :)
