St. Sophia's

There's no wedding like a Greek Wedding, and no better place in the LA area for a Greek wedding than at St. Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Monica. There's none like it! It had been awhile since my last traditional Greek wedding so Jimmy and Tina's wedding was all the fix I need. One of my favorite aspects of the wedding festivities is the Greek dancing when just about anyone with a heart beat is out on the dance floor, people jumping and swinging by the end of a napkin, dancing around their next drink and throwing money! If you have never been to a Greek wedding, I highly recommend crashing one :)

Cambria's Most Memorable Victorian Wedding

John and Heather's wedding in Cambria, CA a few weeks ago was one of my favorites of the season! Everything was so unique, so them, different, fun, alive! And how could it not be? Just driving through Cambria makes me smile :) Their wedding was held in the backyard of a beautiful Victorian house down a country road in Cambria. And the Reception was just down the road in a very rustic/ rural looking barn called Fog's End. John and Heather are both in the Culinary Industry and you could have guessed it. I can't even describe how good the food was, which was announced by the head chef as it came out to the food stations. Everything from the outdoor fire pit, to outdoor first dance, to the sticky balls made this wedding amazingly fun and unique!

Firestone Vineyard Santa Barbara

Thank heavens that Firestone Vineyard has two different wedding locations! Earlier this year the county shut down weddings at the Crossroads estate, so all weddings are now at the main winery! Which is awesome! I never really shot much at the main winery until Crossroads closed. But they have a barrel room that is to DIE for! Craig and Erica had their dinner in the barrel room at ONE LONG TABLE (another first for me) that ran the entire length of the room. It was a really cool alternative to having a bunch of smaller tables! Plus the mood of the barrel room is so romantic!
