Love Santa Margarita Ranch ...
So many interesting places for pictures at the Ranch. Lovely couple doing my variation of the 'dip'.
Terra Mia outside Paso Robles ....
One of my favorite venues .... lovely setting and the night time ambiance with all the mood lighting is incredible.
A macro shot of the rings. Taken at Allegretto Resort
Love capturing details, especially the rings ... it is a challenge to find that perfect angle/lighting but when you do it's magical.
One of my favorites!
A special moment between the bride and her maid of honor.
An intimate moment on the dance floor.
Doesn't get much better for me .... catching that candid moment when they gaze into each other's eyes.
Spanish Garden Inn
This is one of their suites and the balcony with the big doors made for a stunning setting for a special shot. She looks happy!
Santa Margarita Ranch
The old homestead at the ranch is lovely to shoot romantic wedding pictures, this picture was taken on the front lawn.
One happy bridal party ....
The gaze ...
The Bride loved the old door behind them so I made sure we took a few pictures. A bit of direction and the perfect 'gaze' picture.
The Classic 'dip'

Tiber Canyon Ranch
One of my first weddings for photography but such a lovely couple and her eyes captured the moment. Tiber Canyon Ranch is a lovely setting ... if you like rural settings this is a must see.
Smile everyone!
When you don't have a big mirror you do the next best thing ... Stunning bride, lovely bridesmaid dresses.
All smiles ...
Beautiful bride and her girls.
The church 'dip'
One of my favorite captures .... who knew you could do a dip in the Mission. Love how the Priest smiles and applauds giving his approval.
What did the groom just say?
I told the Groom to whisper into his Bride's ear how many children he wanted .... love giving little suggestions and capturing the candid response.

Young girls are so much fun to watch at weddings ....
You know they imagine themselves as future brides ....
Taken at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum during the reception in the courtyard. Had the B&G climb up on the fountain rim and took the shot. I wanted a great destination shot and this was perfect! You can see how the off-camera flash really adds to the dramatic lighting. I own 5 flash units ....

Rings and roses ...
Love the feminine diamond ring and the the masculinity of the large band ... roses always goes well with rings.

Capturing those special pictures ...
Any time a couple wants something different we make it happen ... in this case the groom was a Dallas Cowboys fan.
Cute couple and this bride had incredible eyes ...
Dancing into the night
Capturing the night from the bands perspective .... the lighting was perfect with the ambient overhead lights and my off-camera flash units lighting up the dance floor.
Their dogs loved it!
More often we are seeing creative ways that Bride and Grooms have incorporated their pets ....
Dudes being dudes
Group selfies ad beer .... oh, and a football game on the flat screen .... dudes being dudes before the wedding.
Lovely cake and the backdrop was stunning

Details ... show me details!

The perfect blend ...
Was the perfect gift to give to everyone at this reception.
Yosemite fun ...
The wedding was at the very location he proposed. The clock hanging on the tree was stopped at the very moment they said "I Do"
Everyone should practice this moment ...
So many have no idea how to place on the flowers ... so practice ;)
