Up the 101, twisting alongside the ocean, into the pretty little city called Santa Barbara lies the most beautiful courthouse you may have ever seen. I was so excited to photograph Li-Ann & James’ little elopement there on the lawn of the courthouse, surrounded just by their closest family and friends. We were then free to roam around the beautiful grounds for portraits, incorporating the lovely arches, bougainvillea-framed doorways and of course the bell tower on top.

These types of sweet intimate weddings are always some of my favorites and I was so so honored to document it!

Blush pinks, touches of gold, flowery archways, charming details – this day was seriously pretty in so many ways! Sherry & Tim were married at the Westlake Village Inn and it was the perfect spot for their whimsical & romantic affair. Be sure to scroll down for the escort card table – seriously one of the most gorgeous displays {of not just escort cards, of anything!!} I’ve ever seen! Sherry has amazing style and coupled with the coordination & design magic of Jennifer Yamauchi, not a detail was left overlooked.

It was such an honor to be there to capture this beautiful day!

Oh the Griffith Observatory – one of the few places where you can get that perfect combination of twinkling city lights + dreamy watercolor sunsets. Add in a couple as fun and laidback and Jamie & Greg and you have a seriously lovely session! They brought their pups along as well, so we took time to wander around the park a bit before heading up to the observatory to catch those perfect views :)

So excited for their spring wedding next year!
