Tips & Ideas

This day was absolutely stunning! Sunsets in California are amazing so the colors used at this celebration were inspired by all the different shades of an exquisite Spanish sunset….pinks, yellows, oranges. It was perfection! Sadie and Tyler were nothing short of gorgeous as well. With two beautiful gowns and so much style, being a wedding photographer that day in Southern California was a dream come true!

Small weddings at private estates are always a good idea. Super unique and endlessly beautiful.

I loved capturing all the events of this day through windows, finding foreground and any other texture that would make the images extra special.

Tyler and his best man took a few minutes to relax before heading to the ceremony location which was the perfect time to capture these fun memories on film.

Isn’t this the most beautiful ceremony spot nestled in the hills of Ojai?

Sadie’s long cathedral veil was gorgeous walking down the aisle. She definitely stole the show.

This portrait of Sadie is my favorite image of the day. Simple, classic…just beautiful!

Their small wedding party was beautiful as well. Don’t you love their classic look?

Oh goodness, just seeing this photo makes me want to be back here again. What a beautiful space.

A sweet moment for the reception reveal.

The sunset was unreal. After seeing the beauty of it, I realized why the theme of the day was based around a Spanish sunset. Absolute perfection.

I loved these black and whites at the end of night. What a fun day!

Sadie & Tyler – thank you for being such troopers in those evening hours when it was rather chilly for California. I hope it was worth it! I enjoyed my time photographing you so much!!
