Gary & Sara {Twin Peaks Ranch Ojai, CA Wedding}

Gary and Sara were married at the beautiful Twin Peaks Ranch in Ojai, CA.

Here's a little bit about the wedding from the feature on Style Me Pretty:

"Upon arrival, all of the guests were greeted by the groom himself and escorted to the ceremony site. The intimate ceremony was presided over by a dear, ordained friend of many years and included the heartfelt participation of other friends and family members. Spending time with and enjoying their guests was of top priority to Gary and Sara who opted to join the cocktail hour immediately following the ceremony rather than escaping to take pictures. Gary and Sara are both foodies and delighting the palate ranked high on their list of wedding priorities. Neither they nor their guests could have been disappointed with the culinary artistry of A Tavola Catering, who offered plates of butternut squash ravioli, seared diver scallops or succulent lamb accompanied by a goat cheese salad and freshly baked bread. In keeping with the organic beauty of the Ranch, the bride and groom chose not to overwhelm their reception with linens and large arrangements, but rather highlighted the eight, dark-stained farmhouse tables by using freshly planted regional herbs as centerpieces, reflecting their love for food."

Keith & Blair: Engaged! {Ojai Engagement Photographer}

Keith and Blair are awesome. Blair and I actually went to high school together, but I'm not sure we ever really crossed paths - until now! I met up with them in Ojai for their engagement session and we had some fun hitting up a few of the quintessential locations. I can't wait for their wedding this January!

What would an Ojai engagement session be without oranges?!

Seriously, Blair, you are GORGEOUS!

Ryan & Sally: Married! {Los Angeles Wedding Photographer}

Last month I had the pleasure of second shooting with Brian Khang. It was my first time shooting a traditional Chinese wedding and I loved it! Between the tea ceremony and reception, we had 4 hours (yes, you read that correctly) to shoot portraits. Having such a long period of time allowed us to visit several different locations in the area including the San Gabriel Mission and the Los Angeles Arboretum...it was awesome! That may explain why there are SO many pictures in this post...Enjoy!

The bridesmaids planned several traditional door games for the groom. I learned that the door games give the groom an opportunity to prove his love for the bride and essentially earn (and ultimately buy) his way inside to get his bride. It's all in good fun AND it gives the bridesmaids an opportunity to embarrass the groom a bit :-)

Ryan's tasks included jump-roping...

Hula-hooping in a grass skirt...

Singing to Sally...(picture on the right: the groomsmen came to the rescue after Ryan forgot the words!)

Signing a contract...

And, finally, offering the bridesmaids a little cash incentive!

As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, we had several hours to take portraits...let the photoshoot begin!

I'll end with a few of the details from the reception...

Be sure to check out Brian's blog for more pictures!
