Last weekend I was invited by the super awesome Baxters of Ohana Photographers to take a little road trip with them up north for a super awesome wedding double-header weekend.Saturday’s wedding was in Paso Robles at the Justin Winery and it was absolutely gorgeous. I haven’t been up there in quite some time and Paso Robles is just as beautiful as I remember. Totally stoked to shoot up there!

Chris and Diana are wine connoisseurs, and Chris even proposed to Diana at this winery, so what better place to begin their lives together?

They had their first sight in the wine library. I seriously love when brides and grooms do first sights!

We weren’t allowed to take photos during the ceremony, but we were able to get some images of the beautiful church, as well as the processional.

Gotta love the gorgeous light here!

Married!

Stay tuned for part 2 of the awesome double-header wedding weekend!

A few weeks ago, my friend David Matranga had me help him out again at a wedding for a couple of great friends of his. Little did I know that a lot of the guests go to church with me! It was a really fun time being around all these people that I know and being able to do what I love!

Kyle and Aubri had one of the most emotional weddings I can remember. They are so full of such wonderful love that just shines through. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more smiley bride than Aubri. She was just so excited to be married!

Her dress was just gorgeous! I adore lace dresses.

A prayer before walking down the aisle.

Love this shot for a few reasons:the look on his face when he sees Aubri for the first time coming down the aisle, plus the way you can see several of the bridesmaids looking at his reaction too!

The classic “oh my gosh I’m married!!” laugh.

The gorgeous bride

The handsome groom

I will now show you the coolest bridal party entrance I’ve seen:

I love when everyone gets so into it!

The best reaction ever to the groom getting the garter.

Beautiful emotional speeches.

Congratulations Kyle & Aubri!

You might remember my photos a couple months ago from the youth conference my church puts on every year called Future Quest. I posted images from the first two days, but on the third day, I was the one up on stage.

We worked so hard for many months on this video, and I’m really proud of the end result. I think it’s incredibly powerful and moving, and the rest of the cast did an amazing job!

Enjoy!
