Dan and Shauna's wedding at Dune Lakes in Arroyo Grande was magical! The moment you pull into the property you feel you are in a secluded retreat overlooking the dunes and ocean. There is so much room to explore for pictures and for guests to relax and enjoy throughout the evening, especially at sunset. Oh how I loved this wedding and couple!
I am a bit excited about Chris and Abbi's wedding! I knew when I saw the grey and yellow color combination on the groomsmen, I would like every detail...and I did. The vintage, creative flare carried throughout the entire event from the mustache/lip wedding invitation down to some amazing delicious berry pies. Flowers by Denise (as always) did an incredible job providing stunning floral arrangements on top of old books for the center pieces...oh how I love old books!
Let me not forget to mention the couple. Abbi was flawless. Her lace gown and bouquet with memorable lockets made my job rather easy. Chris looked pretty sporty himself and rocked the mustache socks with grey Converse shoes effortlessly. Their playful nature was great to capture on camera...especially during the best man's toast.
The groomsmen had their pictures at Firestone Brewery in Paso Robles where we were able to use the entire facility inside and out. (Never did I think I would get a brewery tour while shooting a wedding.) The rest of the day was spent at the beautiful Vina Robles Winery overlooking the hills of Paso Robles. I am constantly reminded how amazing my town is and how lucky I am to capture weddings here. All in all, it was a perfect wedding.
Walking out to rain on Saturday was rather interesting since Arthur and Alexis's wedding ceremony was scheduled to be outside at Cellar 360 with the barrel room reception to follow. I clung to the hope that my phone's weather report was correct and it would soon clear up...it was right. The day could not have been more beautiful! The temperature was perfect (especially considering today is predicted to be 108 degrees) and the lighting was breathtaking. Now I have to stop and say, Alexis was STUNNING! I am sure you can tell from the slew of posted pictures but she was one of the most effortless beautiful brides I have seen in a long time. And Mr. Arthur...well, his blue eyes were simply captivating. All in all, a picture perfect couple. The day was a joy to capture all the way down to the sparkler exit. I left remembering how thankful I am for all my clients this year.
