I really don’t think I could get tired of lovely vineyard weddings! Wendy & Jon’s day at the Vintner’s Inn was perfect in every way – beautiful weather, lots of joyous family and friends, and the sweetest couple.

A fun note: those beautiful jars of jam you see at the bottom of the post? Jon’s parents made and jarred every single one of them! They were completely organic and came in delicious flavors like apricot and pomegranate, and made awesome favors for the guests. Another fun note: his parents both came up to me at different times that day saying they follow my blog! Marks a first for me at a wedding, and seriously such an honor :)

Wendy & Jon, thank you so much for giving me the chance to be a part of your beautiful summer wedding!

That “click” that I look for with couples? The one at the initial meeting {that feels a bit like a first date}, where we’re getting to know each other over coffee and tea, connecting through our personalities, finding the ground where my photos match their visions? I felt that click with Jenny and Randall right away :) I was so excited when they chose me as their photographer and knew that their engagement session would be just amazing! I was so on board with their idea of Cal State Northridge, the place where they fell in love – we wandered through the orange groves and finished up at the art department where they first met. As we sat along the nostalgic tables, covered with beautiful scribbles from various art students, and they painted lovely bird houses, just a few of the dozens that will make appearances throughout their wedding day.

I seriously had so much fun exploring the campus with them and can’t wait until their wedding!

There was seriously so much pretty in every direction at Candace & Tom’s wedding. A sun-soaked vineyard over here, gorgeous florals over there, colorful drinks, twinkle lights, smiling faces, and a silly, sweet, and so-in-love couple. I adore shooting in the Santa Ynez area {I swear the light is pure magic in that valley} and Lincourt Vineyards proved to be no exception. Kristin of Joy de Vivre was on hand to pull all the amazing details together. So happy to have been a part of this day!
