People meet and it’s an instant connection. Feeling like you’ve known them, like they just understand. Maybe it’s chemistry or maybe it’s attraction at first, but then it becomes more and you built a life together. You choose shows to watch and walks to take, and make plans. To be able to document love and your story is such an honor. And being able to know and share in Sean and Daniel’s incredible love story was a highlight of my wedding photography career. Adore them to pieces and hope you can feel the joy and beauty in these photos at their wedding at iconic Sunstone Winery.

I waited for the wind to blow just right to get their names on this beautiful tapestry. Also, adore window moments and these doors at the venue were too gorgeous. Their officiant was smiling and enjoying cocktail hour.

Parasol’s for the win on this warm day at the vineyard in santa ynez, ca. I have photographed at Sunstone winery before, however loved this ceremony design in front of villa. Here is a link to more of my work for Brigette and Ian’s Fall Sunstone Villa and Winery wedding.

SO many incredibly thoughtful details and moments for this wonderful couple.
