As soon as I met this girl at our first meeting, I knew that I wanted to shoot her wedding and of course, her engagement pics!!! We had our meeting at Celebrate, and turns out that I had already worked with her coordinator, Myra (who is amazing by the way) for a few events for another client (and now a close friend), Maryanne! I was so happy when she told me that they had decided to use me for their big day and I was almost more excited to shoot the e-session when she told me all of the cool ideas and places she had in mind!! After doing their pics, it totally makes me want to go their all the time to do shoots!! So many super cool places close by one another.

We met up at a park to start off and then went all around the area, shooting from place to place. I love, love, love the way they turned out and am super excited to photograph their big day in November!! Haylie brought along a couple of clothing changes (and Danny too) and I love it when clients bring props. She brought along these cute little flowers made from old books and with little gems in the center. She also brought the cute little signs that they’re holding in a few of the shots.

I know the wedding is going to be amazing and you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous venue like the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara. Since I’ve been shooting their more and more and love it!! Gorgeous views, beautiful setting, and love the weather out that way. Anyway, gotta give a little plug to Haylie’s mom too- she owns a posh little boutique that some of you SCV’ers might have heard of before- La Via Bella on Town Center Drive in Valencia. If you haven’t seen it before, you should stop in. They have some of the most unique and gorgeous gifts for the home that I’ve ever seen!! Amazing!! okay, okay, here are the photos… Enjoy..
