Colin & Julia had their wedding on a warm weekend, nestled between the stunning mountains of Santa Barabara and the Beautiful beaches of Montecito. I was honored to be there and working with the amazing coordination and catering by Events By Philippe. Philippe is such a master & an artist at what he does, I knew this event was going to be spectacular. The luxurious flowers and decor was by Nico Designs and the lighting and sound was by the stellar Bella Vista Designs, with Classic Party Rentals helping make the lounge environment relaxing and enjoyable. To cap the night off band Tijuana Dogs played 4 energetic sets and had the glass-see through dance floor to the pool below crowded! The cake was designed by Christine Dahl. Delicious. So was shooting the wedding. Colin & Julia have great personal style which they incorporated into their fantastically photogenic event. Enjoy!
Julia had an amazing dress, and Sophie, her dog was following around the whole day.
How cool is the french clock on the back of the wall!
Colon & Julie got married at the Presidio in Santa Barbara, a Spanish style church with lots of character in the heart of downtown.
Colin, with nothing short of a lot of style and a friendly group of down to earth, funny charismatic guys.
Philippe created this stairway down to the lower courtyard & dancefloor. So cool!
Below is the canopy w/ chandeliers above the dance fool and band, backlit and looking marvelous.
The Sunset light with the open canopy was amazing. Making for the best shots. I had a 4 light setup to light the dance floor evenly.
How cool is this Dance Floor?! You can see down to the pool below. The condensation from the water, made for a cool texture below.
I stayed until 1am capturing everything, thanks for a fabulous night!
