I had the pleasure of meeting James and Lindsay before their amazing wedding day for their Engagement Session. It was quite a day, but that's a story for another blog! I knew from the moment I met them that they were an incredibly dedicated couple who was 100% in love. They're also just absolutely amazing people who think of others before themselves. James has a family ranch where they run cattle, and Lindsay is a vet tech, so their wedding was all about bringing in those awesome "country vibes".
James also grew up in the Catholic Church, so they had their wedding ceremony at the gorgeous St. Louis de Montfort Church in Santa Maria. I've been fortunate enough to photograph several weddings at this incredible church, so I was super excited by the opportunity for another. James and Lindsay chose the Dana Powers Barn for their reception, and it was an incredible affair from start to finish. Kristi from Kreative Details by KD was their wedding planner, and she absolutely went above and beyond to not only pull off a day that was somewhat logistically difficult - getting ready in one location, ceremony at another location and reception at a third location - but also to make the reception space speak beautifully about James and Lindsay's love.
After meeting the girl's at an Air B&B in Nipomo for some amazing getting ready photographs and two "first looks" with both Lindsay's father and step-father, it was off to the church where I got so spend some time with James and his family. After an incredible ceremony, we took the time for some family photographs in the church before heading back to Nipomo to the Dana Powers Barn. It may have been a bit of back and forth, but it was 100% worth it! Anthony from Epic Entertainment got the party started with a beautiful Grand Entrance and a dance party that rocked into the evening, and I even managed to steal the Bride and Groom for some incredible Sunset Photographs (thank you Kristi for helping make time for this in the timeline)! All in all, this wedding was exactly like James and Lindsay - understated, country vibes and filled with emotion and love!
