| Heidi and Tim's Wedding at the Santa Barbara Ty Warner Sea Center |
I had the honor of shooting the wedding of Tim and Heidi Kolanko's wedding this past weekend at the Ty Warner Sea Center on the pier in Santa Barbara. I can't say enough about this wonderful couple and the amazing friends and family that were at the wedding. My team, (Karen and Kiel) and I were treated as if we were family, as if we all lived in the same house since we were little kids... not kidding! Like I said, I could go on, but I won't. :)
Tim and Heidi are from San Diego and had their wedding on the Santa Barbara pier at the Ty Warner Sea Center. They met up earlier at the Santa Barabra Court House for pictures and had their ceremony and reception right there on the pier. Heidi's hair was amazing, her jewelry was hand made just for her and Tim wore Vans, how awesome! The DJs were playing some killer tunes and how incredible to be dancing under two humpback whales! There were all kinds of sea life in tanks around the sea center. At one point I backed up into a tank and then realized it was full of sharks! It was an absolutely beautiful wedding and it was such an honor to be there.
Hair and Make up - Billy at Salon U
Venue - Ty Warner Sea Center
DJ - In The Mix Events
Caterers - Pure Joy Catering
Here are some favs from their day!

| Matina's Senior Portraits in Santa Barbara, CA |
I had a ton of fun shooting Matina's Ponderosa High School Senior Portaits for her yesterday! She's on vacation in Santa Barbara and wanted that Southern California feel to her shots so we ran around Santa Barbara and wound up at the beach.
Only in California do you run into a regular banjo and fiddle get together and a hoola hoop get together in the same day at the same park. Every Wednesday at 5pm, a group of people get together and have a kinda blue-grass jam session. People would show up walking or on a bicycle with their instruments, meet up with good friends and then just start jammin... way cool. On the other side of the park, every Wednesday at 5pm, people would show up and have a little picnic, pull out their hoops or spin balls and would just go to town! Again, way cool.
Matina did a little bit of everything yesterday, sat with the fiddlers, hula'd with the hula hoopers, played in the playground on the swings, ran in the surf, played with dogs on the beach, skateboarded, ate pizza and ice cream and was also a rockin model!
Here are some of my favs.

| 2008 Santa Barbara County Wedding Directory |
So here's some really exciting news. I've recently teamed up with Cade Carper of Open Door Directories to create the 2008 Santa Barbara County Wedding Directory. This is going to be the most comprehensive Wedding Directory anyone has ever seen! Any and every resource a couple could need to plan their wedding in Santa Barbara County will be in one place.
Ventura County's directory was a huge success and this magazine is going to be even better. This directory will have a circulation of 60,000 issues distributed all year long throughout Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, Montecito and Santa Ynez. With full color images printed on heavy stock paper, this magazine is nicer than most national magazines out there for sale.
I did a preliminary design for the cover for everyone to check out. The bride pictured below is Stephanie Lodge. She was married in Hollywood, CA last September and is the founder of Zencierge, the first and only luxury concierge service in the world to look at lifestyle management from both a holistic living and earth-conscious approach. She's pretty amazing so make sure to visit her site.
I'll keep everyone updated on when this directory will be released. If you'd like to be added to a mailing list, go ahead and email me so you can have one sent out to you as soon as it's printed! Also, email me if you're interested in advertising in the directory. They're filling up fast so let me know soon.
