kendall and jacob envisioned a wedding surrounded by the people they loved. they made their wedding their own with personalized touches; beautiful individual vows, a jointly-written letter to all the guests about how they had met, a ceremony they designed themselves and an incorporation of kendall’s favorite colors; eggplant purple for the bridesmaid dresses, violets and shades of lavender for the flowers with a punch of raspberry. right after the ceremony we made a special trip to the stunning gardens that surrounded kendall’s parents home for some special bride/groom photos and of course a few featuring their ever so cute dog luna!

location: spanish hills country club
flowers: k-bella designs

kaitlin’s mom’s ranch in ojai set the scene for this beautiful outdoor wedding. this is one amazing pair. tyler is in the military and kaitlin is a pilot! they live out of state but still managed to plan a stunning wedding, with the help of a wonderful wedding planner susan ferro and kaitlin’s mom sally. as i arrived at the ranch, the first thing i noticed were the hanging lanterns intertwined amongst old, majestic trees. the color combination of chocolate brown and lemon yellow, was breathtaking, straw covered the ground, horses ran in the background and the lanterns swayed. the smell of bbq smoke filled the air as the ceremony began. this was an all around wonderful wedding, along with a beautiful couple. a big thank you to michael andrews for helping out with this wedding!

i have no doubt in my mind why bryan fell in love with alison. it’s hard not to. alison is the type of person you meet that you just want to be friends with. bryan also has that quality. eric and i have been so fortunate to have these two as clients. every email that was sent; every call that was made was always enthusiastic, and always happy. whether it was wedding related, or just to say hi, getting emails from alison always made me smile.
then came their wedding. the sun came out just in time; the vows made me cry; and bryan singing to alison, well, it was a wedding right out of a movie that you want to see over and over again. alison and bryan both looked stunning in their wedding attire, and alison’s choice of orange and pink worked perfectly against the green grass and blue skies at spanish hills. it was the perfect day, the perfect wedding, and the perfect couple.
