Derek & Katie Boydston - February 21, 2009

This was such a ridiculously amazing wedding! Without question, one of my favorite shoots to date. First, Katie and Derek are freakin' rockstars. No, wait. They're gorgeous and wickedly-fun freakin' rockstars. Then, I get to work with some of the best professionals in the industry like Cameron Ingalls, Sarah Angelique, Ricardo at Elegant Details and Sean at AMS. To top it all off, it was held at the Monarch Club in Nipomo - a place you have to see to truly believe. From the rock waterfalls to the see-through floors to the rolling greens and eucalyptus trees, this place had it going on! Below is the trailer from their day... it's a slight deviation from our more traditional style, but it's quickly becoming one of my very favorites. Enjoy!

Cameron Ingalls took the pictures below. This guy rocks my face off. Seriously, if you want some of the most amazing pictures you'll ever see, book Cameron. It was such a blast working with someone who loves what they do and does it on a whole new level. For more of these photos, you can check out his blog at www.cameroningalls.com/blog.

Katie looked stunning. Derek should be stoked out of his mind. ;-)

The man... the myth... the legend... Mr. Derek Boydston.

Ricardo and his team at Elegant Details did the floral arrangements. They were amazing!

Looks like one of my secrets is out... I broke out the crane (jib) for the ceremony. It made for a processional unlike any other.

Reverend Garrett Anderson officiated the wedding. A dove release mid-ceremony made for a very romantic touch.

For the first time... Mr. and Mrs. Boydston!

The wedding coordinator, Sarah Angelique, stands between Derek and Derek's best man/brother Chaz.

If you've seen the movie, "Step Brothers", then this just about sums it up.

Like I said, gorgeous and wickedly-fun freakin' rockstars!

Katie and Derek, you are both such awesome people. I have nothing but the best of wishes for the two of you and the baby-to-be. Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day!
