Tim + Molly's Engagements {Santa Margarita Ranch}

Amazing amazing amazing! That's all I can really say about my time with Tim and Molly on Saturday. They were so relaxed and playful in front of the camera...I could have shot all night. Yes, it helps that they are both extremely attractive people however their personalities were what grabbed my attention from the start. It was so evident that they truly enjoyed one another and that they play together. When I say play, it's obviously they adore each other's presence but bigger than that, it was clear they enjoyed experiencing life together. A life full of laughter, humor and adventure. I CANNOT WAIT until their wedding...what a joy!

Dustin + Shannon's Wedding {Santa Margarita Ranch}

I have been excited about this wedding since I met Dustin and Shannon. Knowing they were getting married at the Santa Margarita Ranch in February with a chance of rain made me thrilled from the start. The forecast predicted rain for the entire day so we packed up our umbrellas to see what was to come. Luckily for us, the rain seemed to hold off every time we stepped outside to take pictures...it was incredible! Both Shannon and Dustin were extremely flexible and had shear excitement with the thought of being married soon. After the ceremony, a vibrant rainbow filled the sky as the couple and their guests exited the Santa Margarita de Cortona Asistencia chapel. The reception was held at the adobe barn on the Santa Margarita Ranch where Monte Mills and the Lucky Horseshoe Band kept the guests dancing through the night. All in all, it was an amazing wedding and a blessing for me to be a part of...Thanks Shannon and Dustin!

Dustin + Shannon's Engagements {Santa Margarita Ranch}

I am very excited about Dustin and Shannon's wedding in February. They are getting married at the Santa Margarita Ranch and decided to take their engagement pictures there as well. Dustin works for the Ranch so we had an "in" and he knew some beautiful spots to stop and capture. They brought their four dogs along for the shoot and I have to say it was fun having them there! We basically let them run around free and I could capture Shannon and Dustin laughing at them and being themselves. It was perfect...and I think it completely fit their personality.
