Travis and Mariel’s Beautiful Casa Romantica Wedding

For a couple as wonderful as Travis and Mariel, I couldn’t have hoped for a more beautiful wedding day. Everyone was all smiles, and excitement was thick in the air. Mariel and the girls chattered away as they helped one another button dresses and fiddle with pearl necklaces…. Francis, Mariel’s mom, pinned heirlooms and things borrowed to Mariel’s dress…..and Kimberly Conners and her team bustled along putting the finishing touches on the ceremony and reception decor. The sun peeked through the summery cloud cover,  the soft sound of waves crashed on the beach below us, and delicious hints of that night’s culinary feast wafted in through the Spanish style windows. It was SUCH a perfect day. It was such a blessing to be surrounded with such wonderful people and to document this prayer covered day. Travis and Mariel…. the newest Mrs. and Mr. Chiang…. you were a dream to work with. It’s not every day that a bride and groom make sure I feel so appreciated, supported, and… included in your love story. And I am so thankful you asked me to document this amazing time in your lives. There were so many beautiful moments that day, but I wanted to share a few highlights of my own….

Special Thanks to Regis for 2nd shooting for me, to Christopher for 3rd shooting and assisting, and to all the amazing vendors who worked their magic to make Travis and Mariel’s day so great!

LET'S work
TOGETHER

This life is thrilling and grand and moments of greatness are threaded through loss, grief, and uncertainty. So for tonight, let's dance and celebrate the love we have here. Now. What a gift. The ultimate luxury.

Whether your love is the strong silent kind that shows itself in knowing eyes and tender embraces, or if your love is the loud laughter and infectious kind that can barely contain the joy and excitement you feel... I want to be there. With my camera. Taking snapshots so that time will forever be frozen still.
