Matt was the happiest I had ever seen him. He never stopped smiling on his wedding day and he couldn’t get enough of his stunning bride. He is a man in love! Sarah completes Matt. She matches his smiles with bigger ones. Everything she does is about them, the two of them. Their wedding day was centered around their union in Christ, and their family and friends surrounded them in that commitment. It was a beautiful day and I was honored to be a part of it!
This couple was referred to me by my first beach wedding couple Brandon and Ashley who were married at the very same beach, actually, and for the same reasons. They both wanted to do the right thing, the righteous thing, and get married before living together. Hallelujah! What a wonderful honor it was to be there and document their commitment before their family and before God. The wind started it as soon as I got out of the car. Tears ran down my face until I got back in the shelter of the car, but I added my own tears into the mix of the day and my heart lifted up in thanksgiving and joy with Mallory and Mark. May the Lord richly bless your marriage as you seek to honor Him together!
God is good in all things and His thoughts above ours. Praise Him!
When my dear friend Laura fell terribly sick and couldn’t shoot this wedding with me (which came my way thanks to her) I was wondering what to do about a second shooter…but our great God already knew and had a perfect plan. Pete and Sarah were flying out to the LA area that very same weekend to shoot a wedding and spend time with us as well as celebrate their wedding anniversary and had Friday evening free, you got it, to help me out! Pete was happy to second shoot for me and he and Sarah even got to go out to dinner together during the ceremony. 🙂 Pete providentially had all his camera gear anyway (and a chance to set up this cool flash synchronized firing thing on the dance floor which made for some awesome reception shots) and graciously let us use his stuff. Pete and Sarah, thank you for all your help and it was really, really fun to work with you again!
Matt and Tiffany had a beautiful, God honoring wedding on the beach in Santa Barbara with their closest friends and relatives to help them celebrate and witness their union. They have a gallery on my website, but I get to post my favorites here _with comments_! So enjoy 🙂
As the sun rose high in the Santa Monica sky this fall Saturday, these two beautiful people committed their lives to each other with Christ as the center of their marriage and lives with friends and family as witness to their love. They incorporated several unique ideas and traditions into their day and it was truly a special and intimate day.
It was an honor to photograph your wedding, Adam and Savanahsiera! May the Lord bless your marriage!
And here’s a shout out to my wonderful friend and photographer Laura Milner of Moments Not Forgotten, who absolutely made my day and helped me so much shooting this wedding. She got some amazing photographs (I love her angle!) and you can check out her favorites from the day on her blog. Thank you again, Laura! I can’t wait to work with you again!
I just wanted to give a shout out to Laura Milner who was the awesome florist for the wedding last weekend and also the great second shooter for me! She is so talented and creative and loves the Lord with all her heart and I wanted to give her a post showing her in action!
Love you Laura!
