{Married} : Katie & Mike


I adore Katie & Mike. From Katie's infectious laugh to the way Mike looks at Katie, I could photograph these two all day long. Last weekend I had the great honor of being a part of their wedding day and it couldn't have been more wonderful. My dear friend Jess Apostle came out to Cali to shoot the wedding with me and I am so grateful to have had such a great photographer and friend to work with. The wedding took place at the Anvil Vineyard & Ranch where the views of the Coastal Mountains completely make up for the windy drive it takes to get there. Thanks to Jess for coming with me and to Katie and Mike for being their amazing selves. Enjoy their photos.

As Mike waited for Katie before their first look he thought he should make some moves for the camera :)
but I love this one Jess caught of him just laughing...
Katie was stunning. Something super old Hollywood glam about her look. And those eyes. You'll see more of those.

The details were outstanding. Everywhere you looked there was another vase of gorgeous flowers. Below is Katie heading down to meet Mike for the first time.

Love this moment.
Love having a second shooter to capture the same moment from different spots. Jess' on the left, mine on the right.

Quite the vista for the ceremony!!

Love this shot from Jess of Mike crossing his fingers as Lili, their officiant, asked Katie's parents if they were welcoming Mike into their family.


Mike and his dad...

Mike is an artist and Katie is a perfectionist. Pretty much the perfect recipe for great wedding details!!

Such a great sunset that night!!
Congratulations, Katie & Mike!!

  4. Erika & Jess: Your photos are fabulous, loved the photo/card you left on the tables, and thank you so much for the photo guest book, best idea. The wedding was very personal, intimate, perfect, Katie & Mike adorable. Mike was right to cross his fingers when we were asked if we accepted Mike into our family, but of course we said yes, as we have since we met him. Momma of the bride, Kerin
