Ridin the trolley in Santa Barbara

Anytime i get to go to Santa Barbara, is a good time. You add a gorgeous bride, a penthouse suite at the Canary hotel, photos at the beautiful historic courthouse and a ride on a trolley...then Andre is happy! Drew and Kerry's wedding last weekend was such a great time. The ceremony was at a sweet church right by the couthouse. Very formal, but very fun indeed. Right after we took a trolley around town that dropped us off at various locations for pics. Needless to say we made a beer and chip run and Vons...absolutely necessary before photos!
Drew and Kerry truly were a gorgeous couple, picture perfect! From San diego, they decided to get married in Santa Barbara where they actually got engaged. It was raining literally up until we had to leave for photos. The air was fresh, the city clean and quiet. it was amazing!

The first great photo of the day was taken right in the lobbey of the newly redesigned and renamed Canary Hotel. I love this wall.


I have been shooting brides sitting down a lot lately. Its my new thing, and i think its workin'.




Drew and the Father of the Bride just minutes before the ceremony.


THis could be my favorite shot and moment of the day. Imagine taking photos in front of like 85 people just watching by the church. Hey, when you're as beautiful as this couple, how could you NOT look?!
