Helt Wedding {Paso Robles}

Kasey has been a dear friend of mine since I moved to California so it was an honor being the photographer for her and Dan's wedding on Saturday at Still Waters Vineyard. There is no greater joy in capturing a friend's big day...yes, I found myself torn between holding back tears at the reality of my friends becoming husband and wife, but I loved it. Kasey was radiant...I don't know if that word even does it justice. She looked absolutely beautiful in an effortless way. Dan was handsome and calm but his goofy side definitely was free to come out when he was around his bride. It's fun being behind the camera watching your friends laugh as they interact with one another...it's a unique glimpse at the playfulness they have in their relationship.

As for the day, it was perfect from start to finish. Still Waters Vineyard has everything from the scenic rows of vines representing Paso Robles, an olive orchard making one feel they are in a secret garden and a perfect lawn for mingling, eating and dancing. The night quickly got started with dancing after Phil's Catering family style dinner. Guests did not hold back and were on the dancing floor until the last song. Kasey and Dan were truly surrounded by all their friends and family for the celebration...exactly what they hoped for. Congratulations sweet friends!
