Do you guys remember Athena and Daniel? (hint: harry potter) ^__^   Thanks to them I was able to meet Kristen and Brady and shoot their beautiful wedding. I was blown away by the intricate decorations, thought and love put into this wedding. From the 1000 golden paper cranes folded by her grandmother, to the gorgeous vineyards, everything was picture perfect~!

I felt so blessed to have the opportunity to shoot them, both of them are incredibly kind and easy-going. They told me they loved my pictures, trusted me and pretty much let me make them do anything I wanted. Complete creative freedom, YES! One particular thing that stood out to me (besides the amazing location) was the kindess of the families. Kristen’s mom was just the sweetest thing ever! She kept checking in with Courtney and I to see if we were doing okay, if we ate, if we were warm, we felt exceptionally cared for.

Kristen and Brady, Thanks for letting me drag you around and do as I please! You’ve made me fall in love with SLO all over again. I hope you enjoy this set, I had so many pictures I loved I couldn’t narrow it down!! This is the largest picture blog post I’ve ever posted!!!!(exactly 100 pictures!)  Special thank you to Courtney for making the trip up and 2nd shooting with me. 🙂 🙂

One of her bridesmaids handmade all of those head pieces, isn’t that sweet?
