Though this wasn’t the wedding they had been planning for the past year, Julia & Jon’s wedding day was the perfect day of celebration for them, their friends and family. Their original plans of a wedding in Hawaii were canceled because of the tsunami that resulted from Japan’s devastating earthquake (read about that experience here). With the help of their coordinators they were able to plan a whole new wedding in Santa Barbara just six weeks later. These are my favorite images from their beautiful day.
Venue: Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara
Coordinators: Cassie & Kristen of Mindy Weiss Party Consultants
Dress: Vera Wang Shoes: Jimmy Choo
Julia’s gown was an amazing Vera Wang creation with lace and tulle details… so stunning!
Julia and Jon’s dog Bailey was an important part of the day. He didn’t miss a moment.
Julia looked stunning and so, so happy!
A few of my favorite portraits of the bride…
A major favorite!
Meanwhile, my second shooter Ally was hanging with Jon and the guys.
So glad they decided on a First Look. Jon’s look said it all…
One of my favorites of the entire day.
Isn’t that dress amazing??
<3
Bailey was the ring bearer during the ceremony. Loved it!
The ceremony location was simply amazing.
Adorable.
I loved the eclectic mix of white flowers they used- so classic, clean and romantic.
Congratulations, Julia and Jon! I’m so happy for you and was so honored to be there on your wedding day. You guys will always be special to me. 🙂
