So proud to be in The Knot’s Southern California Fall and Winter edition with the wedding we photographed in Santa Barbara. Lisa and Alan’s wedding was sooo chic. Kudos to Katy Carrier and Erica EspaÃ±a (Twine Events).

Julian, a historical California landmark near San Diego, was a gold rush town backÂ in the days of the Civil War. While James Madison’s apple seedlings which were brought up to the mountains, flourished in the clean crisp air made this town known for its baked apple pies. Â Think Julian Apple Pie Co. Along these winding roads, bespoke a natural scenery of grass and oak, encapsulates a sleepy town of 1500 which also holds a kind of romantic setting you’ve read in fiction from the likes of Louis L’Amour. And more so evident in a place called Meadow View Inn where Cassandra and Koby held their storybook wedding. Though I would sometimes forget the venue I was in because of the attire and decor. Was I in a story, a dream or just a fanciful masquerade ball? Did I fall into a book where steampunk, Roaring 20’s, and Western were all balled into one? Nonetheless, I would go back to my photography to capture the fairy tale that was Cassandra and Koby’s wedding, enjoying every bit of detail that was to be but a moment in time.

With a Silver-Gray and Yellow palette this duo of colors go so well together. Likewise Julia and Tim’s love is like a combination of sleek and soft, modern and playful. As the colors suggest, these two love birds deserve each other. And to Julia and Timothy, congratulations on your nuptial bliss.
