Michael + Kelley's Wedding {Santa Margarita Ranch}

Monday, November 29, 2010

Michael and Kelley's wedding at the Santa Margarita Ranch was a perfect way for me to finish up the 2010 wedding season before the soon arrival of my second child! They are such a vivacious couple who captured my heart from our first consultation and have kept me laughing since. Kelley is clearly beyond beautiful with a picture perfect smile and Michael has such a comedic draw to him that they almost make a super couple.

Due to the unique November weather, Michael and Kelley had to move their ceremony inside the barn where the reception would also be held. I was excited when I heard the news since I have always wanted to shoot a ceremony in the barn...the natural lighting is amazing and creates such an intimate atmosphere. How thrilled I was! Everything was beautiful and it almost made for a surreal day. Guests were treated to every detail the couple thought of for the wedding (including a heavenly donut spread for dessert) and everyone truly celebrated the union of this amazing couple. Again, I love my job and I am thankful for incredible couples like the new Mr. and Mrs. Odil!

Todd + Raquel's Wedding {Santa Margarita Ranch}

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

There is always something so peaceful and romantic about rain. Todd and Raquel got to experience those exact feelings as they exchanged vows under a light fall of rain on Sunday at the Santa Margarita Ranch. Luckily we took all our pictures before the ceremony since the rain picked up the moment everyone entered the Barn for the reception. Like I said though, it was such an amazing ambiance for a fall wedding. Raquel was a beautiful bride regardless the weather and Todd had a way about him that made her smile whenever she looked at him...it was priceless. Congratulations to you both!
