Monique and Natalie are two of the most wonderful ladies I’ve had the pleasure of photographing, and I’m so excited for our upcoming publication in Rock and Roll Bride! From the moment I met them I knew I wanted to be the one to document their wedding day and their special bond! We just clicked right away! They originally wanted a spring wedding, but as proud gay women they recall all too well times when they didn’t have a right to marry.  Considering the tumultuous times, they decided to move up the date and elope on January 1st, a very special date for both of them.  Of course I suggested the Santa Barbara courthouse because it is one of the most beautiful places to get married in the world!

They had some really cute details at their elopement style wedding including the cutest dinosaurs dressed to wed! The rainbow Converse were stunning for sure, but my favorite part was the rainbow died roses by Bella Vista Florist in Lompoc Ca! WOW!

I was so lucky to meet these amazing ladies and document their day. They were surrounded by their close family and friends in a really amazing day that celebrated their happily ever after!

This wedding was featured in Rock n Roll Bride issue 13 in April of 2017 in print, yes IN PRINT! We were not only offered a feature, but a feautre in the actual print magazine which is huge!

Congratulations again to Monique (Monica) and Natalie, two of the most charming and fun women I’ve had the pleasure of working with! And that is saying a lot because I have the best clients ever! I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with these phenomenal women.
