“We are so grateful Ashley and Andreas were one of our wedding planner’s recommended photographers. We spent a long time looking at all of the photographers and I had a hard time choosing since I knew the pictures of us and our families was something immensely important to us. I finally turned to my brother who is also a photographer and he said Ashley’s pictures were the most artistic and really captured emotion. That was all the reassuring I needed to hear. After having the opportunity to meet, it was clear how their personality and passion matched their talent, they are true artists! On our big day Ashley and Andreas were focused, professional and attentive but also so much fun during all the time in between. Group shots were fast, smooth and efficient, and they know exactly how to direct you for individual shots. The images of our special day are something we will always cherish and we couldn’t be more thankful for entrusting that job to Ashley and Andreas.”

Akemi & Matthew’s weekend wedding celebration started off with a Moroccan inspired cocktail party, inspired by one of the courtyards at Finca Cortesin. The evening was set on a full moon, which was an important theme throughout the weekend and a powerful force for the couple. All of their 120 guests attended the welcome event and were serenaded by a flamenco guitarist and a enjoyed moroccan inspired meal.

So excited for Jena & Donny to tie the knot this weekend! Jena is the Director of Events at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard and her sister is the talented designer behind A Lovely Creative. There will definitely be some magic in store for us and I cannot wait!! We photographed their engagement session on her family’s property with incredible views of Edna Valley and San Luis Obispo, on one of the windiest days of the spring. Shooting in the wind is always a fun challenge, and I love how these turned out!
