Tracey + Ross {San Luis Obispo}

Tracey + Ross were 100% fun!

I met up with them at The Flying Caballos Ranch just an hour before their rehearsal to shoot a couple engagement shots. Friends and family were strewn about in lawn chairs across the beautiful property sipping adult beverages in the sun. I found Tracey and Ross in the most relaxed state of mind and spirit; not the norm for people the day before their wedding. I had one hour to warm them up in front of the lens and it didn’t take long for Tracey to demonstrate her air guitar skills and just how much she trusts her Ross.

The wedding was out-of-control-gorgeous and had such a warm spirit it felt like Christmas round the fire with the closest family and friends. Stay tuned for Tracey + Ross’ wedding… Coming soon to a blog near you.

Amy Bakes Cupcakes {The Wedding Standard}

It’s my pleasure to introduce Amy of Amy Bakes Cupcakes. I’ve been following her sugary cupcake trail for the past couple of years and finally met her in person just the other day. Her cupcakes are always a hit whether they are being served at a birthday party, wedding celebration, or at the local Granada Bistro. We asked Amy just a few questions about her cupcake wizardry to get a better taste of what secret ingredients make Amy Bakes Cupcakes always so amazing. Enjoy her interview on The Wedding Standard!

JC + Ellie {Arroyo Grande}

Elli + JC had the most beautiful wedding at the Varian Ranch in the back hills of Arroyo Grande, where JC grew up. We were just in love with the natural elements and the creative graces.

What really stood out to me were the vows during the ceremony. Ellie and JC wrote personal vows in a unique and fun exchange. I asked Ellie if I could share their intimate words with the world.

JC: We know that great relationships thrive because of the countless small things each person does for the other, the way they interact day to day, and we wanted our vows to reflect that.

ELLIE: These vows are the most important commitments we have ever made.

JC: I vow to love you
ELLIE: I vow to love you
J: to respect you
E: to always make fun

Megan + Daniel {San Juan Capistrano}

I journeyed long and far to meet up with Megan + Daniel in San Juan Capistrano. We had such a lovely time exploring the old section near the train tracks. I kept saying out loud, "How have I never been here? I need to take my wife here on a date!" Maybe I will.
