Eucalyptus Lane Wedding

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Wedding! I actually didn't even realize that this weekend was Memorial Day Weekend until the wedding on Saturday. Is that bad? And is it worse that I'm working from home on Memorial day? I don't know, but I had to get some pics up from Saturday's wedding. This was the first and last time I'll ever shoot at Eucalyptus Lane in Ventura, Ca. It was an amazing venue with an incredibly cool barn in which the reception was. But if what I hear was correct, Saturday's wedding was the last wedding that they will be having at the venue! So I feel blessed to have been able to shoot there before their run was done!

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and Lindsay and Steve are such a cool, relaxed couple, it was so easy to shoot with them! But one of my favorite moments of the wedding, I wasn't even there for. It was when my assistant came up to me and told me about a woman who had such a big smile when he asked to take her picture, that, just jokingly he told her it looks fake. So she smiled and posed again for another one, so he took one. He mentioned to her that she looked like Bette Midler, to which the gentleman with her leaned over and whispered, "She is Bette Midler"! I wish I could have been there to see my assistant tell Bette Midler that her smile looked fake :) hahah! I love it!

Peanut's First Birthday Party

This was actually Cheyenne's First Ever, Second First Birthday! It was a pink party and my girlfriend Amanda came up with all the good ideas! Pink punch with cups dipped in pink sugar so it looks like a pink margarita, strawberry's and watermelon, homemade carrot cake with pink frosting! We had streamers, banners, flamingos, pink glasses, pink leis, pink bubbles, and everyone had to wear pink! Here's some of the pics:

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse Wedding

This week was a crazy one! The Jesusita Fire has been raging in Santa Barbara. My parents and several friends were evacuated. My good friend lost a few homes on his ranch. And in the middle of it all, we had an absolutely stunning wedding with some of the best people in Santa Barbara, hands down! Many of them had to evacuate their homes the night before the wedding, including the brides parents. But the day was beautiful at the Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse, the bride glowing, and Nick and Cindy's first EVER kiss at the altar was priceless!!!! Check out some of the pics:
