So you may say that we are dog people. We are mildly (ok, fully without reserve) obsessed with our dog (Penny). That means we are always stoked when our couples want to bring their furry friends to the shoot. They add another level of family and adorableness to our already adorable couples (and a bit of unpredictability).  So… we were super excited when Sara + Sam let us know they were bringing Gus to their session. We were even more excited when they told us they had a matching jersey for Gus to wear (and he actually loves wearing it!). It was pretty amazing. Gus had also never been in the water at the beach so he was in hog heaven exploring new places. On top of the super rad Gus Sara + Sam are pretty damn cool too. They have gorgeous style and are pretty much models in front of the camera. We lucked out with a pretty pastel sunset and perfect low tide at the beach which made for a stunning session overall.

This was our first time shooting at Graf Barn and let us tell you, it is a very unique space! The ceremony was under two gorgeous trees that also provided shade for the guests. In the reception there were all non-matching vintage chairs, tables, and place settings in a barn with chandeliers and beautiful lit candles hanging from the rafters. Very cool warm and romantic ambiance!

Plus, it didn’t hurt that Brooke and Blake are a great couple who are so in love and that the groomsmen were willing to help us move furniture around for photos. :)

If we could describe Morgan and Cameron’s beautiful Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding in one word it would be: Classy. These two really know how to throw a beautiful champagne jam and we have some photos to prove it!
