I spent Saturday in Santa Barbara at the University Club shooting Alison & Steve’s lovely, very fun wedding. I’m a little behind on blogging and know I still need to post Amber & Nathan’s slideshow, but I wanted to get these images up asap.
The University Club was built in 1919 and has a very charming and classic atmosphere. It’s just a coincidence that two weekends in a row I’ve been able to shoot in an old-school setting with very classic and formal decor (after shooting Amber and Nathan’s wedding last weekend at the Camarillo Ranch mansion). So, I took advantage of the decor once again with some fun indoor portraits and off-camera lighting.
As you can see, we had some wedding portrait crashers. These are Steve’s nieces, the flower girls, after they changed out of their adorable dresses.
This pose was her very own idea… She was definitely working the camera.
As a side note, my beautiful, talented sister was my assistant on this wedding. She is seriously very talented behind the camera and was so much fun to have there. Hayley, you rock! 
Here she is being a great model for some lighting test shots.
And here she is hard at work during the reception.
Happy Monday, everyone!

Hey! I
I’m excited to see all of the pictures….I love the lighting in that first one you posted. I had the best time with you. Santa Barbara is always the best time. Anytime you’d like me to help you shoot, I’m there.
