• Day After Session / Trash The Dress…

  Just For Fun…

  So, after that amazing wedding in Santa Barbara (complete with
  two different receptions, partying ’til the wee hours, and WAY too
  much fun).

  The Bride, Groom, my assistants and I all met up late the next
  afternoon before they took of for their Hawaiian honeymoon.
  We’d planned a special “day after session” in the hills of
  Santa Barbara… We spent DAYS researching locations and
  finally happened upon the PERFECT place.

  I’m sure you’ll agree when you see the pictures
  Ready?

  

  Beautiful, isn’t it?!
  The colors are just so bold, and that sky… Mmmmm gorgeous!

   

  As the afternoon light began to wane; we kept moving, constantly
  seeking the last perfect strands of California Sunset.

  

  / I almost feel like this one could be in Africa /

  

  Mmmmm that’s the light I love!!
  Here’s some more:

  

  Seriously some of my favorite photographs EVER.
  You should have seen me dancing while we captured them!

  

  See what I mean about the location?!
  It’s just oh so beautiful… One of my new favorite secrets

  

  The one above, and the next one are just a beautiful example of the light in
  Santa Barbara… I love it oh so much!! Are you getting that yet?

  

  Oh, and btw… No editing needed on any of the above photos; barely
  tweaked the contrast; other than that they’re pretty much straight out
  of the camera.

  This next one’s just a little bit WIDER to show you a little more of the
  location… I love the light reflecting off the grass

  

  Of course, the groom WAS there, he didn’t dress up though; so
  he was enlisted for transportation

  

  A quick “fine art” piece to put on your wall…
  The stunning sunset light matched with the Winter colors in Santa Barbara.
  Wonderful.

  

  Now for a quick explanation… This was day four of shooting.
  And it was directly following 15+ hours on their wedding day.
  When I shoot, I’m up and down a LOT… So it’s like 15 hours of
  squats and pushups…

  Seeing the gorgeous beach below us was wonderful; but seeing
  the hundred disjointed steps to get there was SCARY!

  

  We made it down though; even if it took a little while

  

  

  Sooo wonderful; it was a clear day so you could easily see
  the channel islands in the background.

  

  After a little while; Brian couldn’t stay away from his new Bride
  any longer… And we were all glad to see it

  

  But THEN, he decided he really WAS being left out a little too much

   

  Cute together, aren’t they?

  

  We had such an amazing time…
  Their wedding weekend is definitely one for the record books!!

  I’ve got 15 more events to blog; plus our nearly 10,000 mile roadtrip!
  This past weekend, my little brother got married… Can’t wait to share
  THOSE photos, especially
  
  So, what do you think? Like these photos? Enjoy the blog?
  Tell me what you think, I LOVE hearing from you!

  

  P.S. Is there anything I can be praying for you about?
