i profiled shelly vinson photography earlier this year, after she did the engagement photos for a couple of my summer brides. summer is now coming to a close, the weddings were spectacular and shelly sent a few photo-tasters - WOW i had to share. shelly captures those special moments and sweet details. the images above are from leigh and dave's ceremony at the four seasons biltmore!
a perfectly delicious wedding it was. the wedding took place at the montecito country club. ceremony and cocktails on the lawn followed by dinner and dancing in the club. gloria collected vintage decor ideas over this last year and when her vision was realized - it was breathtaking. feathers tied to the back of each ceremony chair instructed guests to wave them as they were pronounced husband and wife, handmade cupcake towers, a nephew in charge of poloroids, displayed for all to see, an old-fashioned typewriter for guests to "sign-in" their love notes and vintage hankies to dry their eyes - these were just a few of the clever elements of the day. live music by area 51, celebratory toasts and a formal exit in a vintage rolls rounded out the soiree. it was absolutely delightful. images above captured by shelly vinson! and a shout out to my hard working assistant chanel, couldn't have done it without you!
what a weekend for merriment! i coordinated a wedding for one of my dearest friends and watched her tie the knot! she and ian along with their families hosted an amazing weekend of events. from the rehearsal dinner, to wine tasting in the valley and a beach bbq bash on sunday - it was a perfect slice of santa barbara for the guests who had traveled so far. east coasters, ian's family from canada and amanda's brother and wife traveled from japan (with their precious taisei!). their sweet ceremony took place at thesanta barbara unitarian society.they continued the celebration on santa barbara's waterfront. just viewed the images captured from this special evening by fotocielo...see tasters above.
