Don and Jayne were married at the beautiful Chaminade resort in Santa Cruz. Such an amazing day for the two of them, it was a perfect and clear day in Santa Cruz with a great group of their family and friends. People came from all over the country and world to be a part of their day and it couldn’t have turned out any better. Thanks for having us as a part of your day!

We posted the slideshow to Jon and Kara’s awesome wedding at Chaminade a little while back and wanted to post some of the shots of the day. Here are a few of my fav’s: The Chaminade resort is located in Santa Cruz with sweeping views of the coastline. Weddings at Chaminade are utterly captivating. Take your vows amidst the seasonal floral displays and beautiful arbor of the Spanish Courtyard Terrace or gather for a sunset reception on The Sunset Patio featuring dramatic views of rolling wooded hillsides and the ocean on the horizon. It was a perfect spot for Jon and Kara’s wedding, they are a fun and vibrant couple. I had such a blast at the wedding, just laughing, smiling and crying with them all day long!

Congrats guys, it was great to be a part of your special day!!!

I have to post a little sneak peek of a wedding we photographed out at Chaminade in Santa Cruz recently. Kara and Jon were such a fun couple, I knew from the engagement session it would be a fun shoot and it was even better than I expected. We had great light during the day and everyone just had a blast at the wedding. Photos to come soon but here is one little sneak peek for you guys

We had a great wedding on Saturday for Sean and Karla.  Such a fun couple and another perfect wedding day! The awesome team at Couture Celebrations, Heidi and Lia were the coordinators and they really put together a great day for Sean and Karla (check out their blog here).  The flowers were just amazing, bold color everywhere and the reception at Chaminade in Santa Cruz looked so perfect!  The wedding was at Holy Cross church which is such a beautiful church.  Sean is Irish so they had a bagpipe playing as everyone walked into the church.  After the ceremony we had lots of time to head down to west cliff drive for some photos of the bridal party and Sean playing the ukulele for Karla.  After that we headed over to the Chaminade for the cocktail hour with a fun mariachi band playing and then Music Now started off the festivities.  It turned out to be such a great day, thanks guys for having me as a part of the day!!!
