Julio and Jasmine = May 16. 2009

I only first met Jasmine on her wedding day, but our phone relationship started with a blast! We hardly even talked about her wedding during our first conversation. We found out we shared the same sense of humor, we each had our own obsessed Lakers fan living in our house, and we both thrive on our awesome organizational skills. :)

When she started talking about Julio, I heard an amazing love for him in her voice.  I found out Julio serves his country in the Navy and when you're a military family, things change. Well May 16, 2009 was Juilo and Jasmine's third change of their wedding date.  After seven years of being in love they finally got to tie the knot with all their friends and family in an elegant ceremony on a beautiful day in Camarillo.

Robby & Gaylen Fair

We thought there would be rain but there was sunshine instead for a quaint country wedding in the Santa Barbara mountains on May 2nd. 

Robby & Gaylen are two people that I will love forever. :)

When we met it was seriously cosmic. I love making that connection with clients who get me getting them.  After shooting their engagament portrait I just wanted to hang out with them more and more. Each hold an incredible spirit that the other compliments so perfectly, it could be defined as ultra-cheese-made-in-heaven. Well, their weding day was pretty close to what heaven means to them, surrounded by amazing people who love them each as individuals almost as much as they love them together.

Robby & Gaylen's infectious love and laughter with each other and everyone was all I could capture throughout their adorable day at Skofield Park.  Gaylen got ready with her girls at the beautiful Canary Hotel and met her soon to be groom on the hill overlooking their reception site.  It was so pretty! Gaylen chose lifesaver green and orange for her colors and it made me shiver with delight at how amazing the photos would turn out.  Cherry and I had so much fun the whole night it was truly hard to pick out the photos for their slide show.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Fair! 

Thank You to the bestest-photo-partner-ever, Cherry Thomas, and all the Amazing Vendors!
