Katie & Luke: Chapter 1
Whew…lots of images in this post and hopefully they were worth the wait! We’ll actually be doing three (yes, 3!) full posts from this gorgeous Santa Barbara wedding that took place at the Orella Ranch. Think of it like reading a book one chapter at a time. Today we’re telling/showing the story of Katie and her lovely bridesmaids getting ready, the groom and his men having a little pre-cermony ‘drink’, the beautiful ceremony itself, and lots of pretty details too. Later in the week we’ll pick up right where we left off with images of one of the most stylish bridal parties ever, an over-the-top-fun cocktail hour, and a stunning hand-crafter reception that we know you’re going to love.

The Secret Garden
We recently saw this delightful board on Green Wedding Shoes and thought it was the perfect inspiration for a spring wedding. Our creative wheels started turning!
We contacted Jen, the super sweet editor of GWS, and asked if we could bring her board to life in our own inspiration shoot. We collaborated with an amazing team of vendors (be sure to see run down of A-list talent at the end of the post), and this is what we created!
More images from this shoot were featured on Green Wedding Shoes yesterday. Be sure to take a peek!
A big ‘Thank You’ to everyone who collaborated with us on this. We had a ball working with each and every one of you!!
