Mike and Jamie’s Wedding at Spanish Oaks Ranch, Santa Margarita, California

Some weddings you can just see the love!  Mike and Jamie are so sweet together and Spanish Oaks Ranch was perfect for their wedding day.  The morning of the wedding it was actually raining, not just sprinkling but real rain with thunder and lightning.  Now I know in other parts of the country thunderstorms in August are common but here in drought stricken California we were all shocked and amazed by the surprise storm.  Luckily Spanish Oaks in one of the few wedding venues in San Luis Obispo County that has a large indoor area to set up the tables and accommodate everyone in any weather.

Jamie didn’t let the rain dampen her spirits.  She was determined to get married under the big oak tree rain or shine!  It rained on her parent’s wedding day and so she took it as a good sign – Love that girl’s spirit!   But her day was truly blessed with skies clearing in time for her ceremony, a beautiful sunset and the rain only returning for the last few dances!  How lucky is that?  Absolutely Perfect!

I absolutely loved capturing Mike and Jamie’s engagement and their wedding day was no different.  The way they look at each other and make each other melt was so fun to capture.  There love radiates!  Trying to narrow it down to just these few was really tricky.  So many Beautiful, Emotional Images!  Love you two and wish you all the best in your new future as Mr. and Mrs. !!!

Nick and Alicia’s Wedding at Hartley Farms – Paso Robles – San Miguel, California

Hartley Farms is nestled in the outskirts of Paso Robles wine country.  Driving along country roads you happen upon this beautiful oasis of lush landscaping, majestic oaks and even an amazing waterfall feature.  What a lovely venue for San Luis Obispo Brides and Grooms.

Nick and Alicia are such a sweet couple!  Every detail of Alicia’s day came together so beautifully.  Her color palette  of blue and light green was inspired and supported by subtle hints of peacock feathers.  Even her dress had subtle hint of her theme in the lace detail of her train.

Congratulations Nick and Alicia on an absolutely stunning wedding day!  The sunset at the end of the day was one of the most dramatic I’ve seen in a while!  What a great way to start your new life together.   It was such an honor to capture these memories for you and your friends and family.  Enjoy <3

Max and Subheksha’s Engagement Session – San Luis Obispo California

Subheksha and Max met at UC Berkley and are just so cute together!  They obviously adore each other and it makes getting great photos so easy!   We met at Bishop’s Peak in San Luis Obispo and had a great time poking along the trail and wandering the fields.  Then we headed over to Atascadero to a mini ranch with a large field of sunflowers!

One of their photos in the sunflower field was featured on the Instagram Feed for Pose Patch.  Such a beautiful setting and then magically a few drops of rain fell which here in drought stricken California is rare indeed….specially in July…..I will take it as a great sign for this darling couple!  I’m excited for their wedding at Portola Inn next June!  It’s sure to be beautiful and sweet just like they are.

See the raindrops?  It felt like a miracle but unfortunately it only lasted a few minutes.

Rachel – Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Senior Portraits

It’s that time of year – Everywhere students are graduating and celebrating.  Rachel will be graduating from California Polytechnic State University or better known as Cal Poly.   Graduating from college is something to really celebrate and how cool to mark the occasion with some special portraits.  Not only to celebrate who she is now but also her time here in San Luis Obispo.   She has grown to love the area, of course who doesn’t and she has been lucky enough to have her horse “Montana” with her also.

We started in a field with little scruffs of daisies and a big red barn.  When I saw Rachel in a black dress and her beautiful horse Montana I knew this was going to be a special afternoon.  I love so many of her pictures that it inspired me to blog which I’ve really wanted to do more of lately.

Thank you Rachel for a very special afternoon and Congratulations on your graduation from Cal Poly and all the great memories you made here on the central coast.




Doesn’t Rachel look just like a country music star!  Seriously – Album Cover!
Then we headed to Montana de Oro, one of the most beautiful beaches here on the central coast.  The rock formations are always a pleasure to photograph and Rachel was just too cute!

We never know exactly what our future holds but one thing is for sure – this girl will be adding some sparkle wherever she goes!  Best wishes Rachel!
