I met Lauren a little over a year ago at Jenn & Aldo’s wedding. One of the definite perks of being a wedding photographer is bonding with the other day of wedding vendors. Spending the day… sometimes the whole day, with planners, coordinators, videographers, bands, and DJs is half the fun. Swapping wedding stories over dinner and sometimes deliriously deciding to get all the vendors together to go out after the wedding ends to continue the story swapping. Vendors are so fun.

But anyway, back to Lauren! She was Jenn & Aldo’s AMAZING planner and she made sure every single moment of their day passed without a single flaw. She and her boyfriend Sean got engaged last year and when Lauren emailed me asking me to photograph her wedding I was honored beyond belief. To go from hanging out on the stairs in The Rococo Room to being able to share in the exciting moments leading up to the wedding with Lauren and Sean is just… amazing. I am so honored.

We decided to take a little road trip away from the chaos of Los Angeles and make our way up the coast to beautiful Santa Barbara. Then we made the trek up the mountain and found some breathtaking views. I’m so excited to share these images with you and, Lauren & Sean, I can’t wait for your wedding this summer!! ♥
