prelude . Carlsbad Wedding [Amber + Kellen]

06.30.08

I photographed Amber + Kellen's sweet + intimate wedding a few weeks back. I truly felt at ease, not only with the both of them, but with their family as well. Here's a little prelude. More images to come soon.

Santa Barbara Wedding [Regan + Chris]

06.21.08

As I drove into Santa Barbara, I rolled down the window to feel the cool breeze run through my hair, but received something quite opposite. It was unusually hot that day + everyone definitely felt it. Regardless of the weather, this wedding was AWESOME! I had SO much photographing + laughing...lots of laughing :)

Regan + Chris got married at the Rockwood Woman's Club. I started my day with the ladies, who were making the finishing touches to their hair + make-up.



























According to Regan's dad, she's always been a "wild child," a free spirit. So, when she decided to go backpacking through Europe solo, it came as no surprise to her family. Sometime during her trip, she was walking through Regent's Park in London and decided to rest for a bit. A stranger walks over + starts up a conversation with her. A few years later, she's standing across from that same guy, in front of their family + friends, saying "I do!" Who would've guessed?





Right before Regan goes in for the kiss, her sister + maid of honor sprays a little breath freshener to make that first kiss as husband + wife really nice :) That was totally unexpected + so funny!









We then headed over to the nearby mission + played around a bit. This place was a dream...











The girls got a little hot, so they hiked up their dresses to get a little air.

























He's so helpful...





Regan's friend, Breezy, sang an amazing opera piece, which totally captivated the crowd.





Regan + Chris had a nice first dance, but what followed was truly entertaining.



They sang + dance to the classic song "You're the One that I Want" from Grease. They were awesome!

















I think the real action in this image is the guy with the big granny panties on his head to the left :)



THANK YOU Chris + Regan for allowing me to document you're crazy beautiful day! I had such a great time! I wish you both lots of love + great adventures together!
