Lisa & Bradley Daughtry - July 11, 2009

Lisa and Brad had such an amazing wedding! The day started at the Radisson Hotel in Santa Maria near the airport. While we were there, we grabbed some amazing footage of Lisa and her bridesmaids getting ready. They looked incredible! After Lisa had gotten into her dress, her mother, Helen, helped place the veil. The two silently shared a teary moment of joy and I felt honored to be part of such a beautiful exchange.

From there, we made our way to St. Louis de Montfort Church for a traditional wedding ceremony. Beneath the church's heavenward stretching arches, the couple exchanged vows and were whisked away by Elegant Image's Denali limo to Shell Beach, where we enjoyed a more private photo shoot. This made for some amazing footage! Thanks to Jennifer and Tim from Artisan Photography for choreographing some stunning moments!

Finally, we jammed back to The Santa Maria Elks Lodge where a Vegas-themed reception hall awaited our arrival. The pink-colored motif was set by Ricardo and Susana's always phenomenal work from Elegant Details. I will never tire of trying to take in their jaw-dropping arrangements.

From start to finish, this was one spectacular day! I hope you enjoy sharing in these moments.

As I mentioned earlier, working with Jennifer and Tim from Artisan Photography was such a blast. It's always fun working with people who love their craft as much as I love mine. Below are some of my favorites.

Joyful emotions were full swing. Here, Helen and Lisa share a tear-filled moment of happiness and excitement.

Sealing their vows with a kiss!

We stumbled across this cave while shooting on the beach. Definitely fun...

...but not nearly as fun as Brad and Lisa's first dance! The choreography was insane! Brad (and Lisa, too), madstyle props for working out an amazing number!

Lisa and Brad, thank you for the opportunity to share in your special day. It was such a pleasure capturing every moment! I have nothing but best wishes for you both!
