Ava + Tom: Walnut Grove Wedding, Moorpark CA

Marianne — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:31:58 +0000

So you might immediately recognize these two from just a few posts down! We can’t say enough about how awesome Ava and Tom are and just how super cute their Walnut Grove wedding was. They had so many adorable and rustic details, even down to the s’mores and pie stations! Their wedding was filled to the brim with love and support of amazing people all around. Ava honored her Armenian heritage by following a few traditions we thought were lovely! Including having all the single gals around her sign her wedding shoes while she was getting ready, having her brothers put money in her shoes and slip them on her as well as breaking a plate as they entered into their reception. It was a lot of fun to say the least.

Lisa + Chris Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer

When we met with Lisa and Chris they made one thing very clear: they really wanted photos to be the most important part of their wedding. We did our best to maintain our composure through our excitement for the rest of the meeting while we brainstormed ideas with them (seriously, we could barely make it to the car before we were reveling in how excited we were for this shoot). In the end they decided that they wanted us to shoot a short ceremony at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and then do photos with just the two of them for four more hours around Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and Ventura! Oh, and did I mention that the Ventura County Fair just happened to be in town that day and they decided that they wanted to shoot there too? Oh yeah. That totally happened! In short, we had a really great time shooting this awesome couple.

Zulema + Beq: Arizona Pecan Grove Wedding

You might remember Zulema and Bequer (Beq) from their engagement shoot in Agoura Hills. They were and still are some of the sweetest people we have ever met! Plus, they have a sincere love of vintage decor, including a classic Mustang fastback that instantly made Joe drool. Their DIY details were also amazing! In addition to the tons of things that they found over a year of hitting thrift stores, Zulema made a ton of stuff herself, Zulema’s Mom made the bride’s maid dresses and her sister made the cake! It’s no wonder they were featured on http://www.weddingchicks.com/2011/09/22/southern-vintage-arizona-diy-wedding/! On top of all of that awesomeness, they were married at a venue set in a pecan grove in Arizona (http://www.venueatthegrove.com/)! It truly was a beautiful day and we are genuinely thankful that we got to be a part of it!
