Limoneira Ranch wedding in Santa Paula

Sarah and Erin. I ADORE these two beautiful women, and it was such a magical gift to be part of their wedding day (thank you, Cindy, for introducing us!).

These two first met at work (Erin was Sarah’s boss) years before they officially became a couple; they didn’t start dating until a serendipitous meeting at a bar (accompanied by their best friends, Matt and Michael, who were the best men for the wedding!). They’ve been together for five years, and a little over two years before the wedding day, Erin proposed to Sarah at the restaurant in Newport Beach where they’d shared their very first date.

Sarah loves that Erin is the most caring person she’s ever met, even though she acts tough; she also admires Erin’s white-girl dance moves (which we all got to see at their reception!). Erin loves Sarah’s huge heart (she cries at pretty much anything emotional or romantic) and also adores her morning grumpy face. These two babes are the real deal, and like I said, it was such a wonderful experience to be their wedding photographer.

Without further ado…

Also, the sparkler moment (pictured above) was a terrifying moment of my career; I was convinced that someone would catch fire. But they didn’t! Great success!
