yet another Carpinteria Valley wedding...









Took me a while to get these photos but finally received them from the bride. The bride herself is a photographer and spent allot of time searching for the right photographer for her style. It was a fall wedding - last October - a beautiful hilltop backyard wedding at her parent's ranch. Hearts Bloom did a gorgeous job on the flowers which included lots of pumpkins - Michael's Catering prepared an exquisite meal with the sit down dinner of seabass and roast tenderloin, Christine Dahl made the beautiful cake, Classic party Rentals did the equipment rentals while Bella Vista did the lantern lighting. The bride and groom built their own platform to be married on and the groom designed and made the bride's wedding gown as well as his own suit.
Instead of a regular band they opted for the Wine and Roses Quintet (2 violins, mandolin, string bass, and guitar) and English country dancing with a caller/teacher there to keep things moving. They all had a wonderful time!
