Shane and Whitney (AKA #Shitney2021) were married this last Fall at the Compass Rose in Dana Point overlooking the harbor. They pushed their summer wedding back from June to October and what a beautiful day it turned out to be.
They did a First Look in Dana Point and read personal vows to each other. Shane’s dad passed down his classic Woody car to Shane and he was able to drive his stunning bride around in it on their wedding day. It was a very special token of love and reminder of his dad.
After the intimate ceremony at Lantern Bay Park Compass Rose they had a backyard reception at a private estate. Part of Shane’s family is in Australia wasn’t able to make it due to Covid-19 travel restrictions but luckily they were able to FaceTime with them during their wedding reception.
Everything came together beautifully and I am so happy for them. Congratulations Shitney!!

I’m excited to be going back to the Cabrillo pavilion next month. Santa Barbara is so charming and romantic.

Here’s a recent album. I’m delivering to my clients tomorrow. I don’t get to show them off as I have them delivered directly to my clients, but I had this one on hand and wanted to show you. For the cover, they chose a stone, distressed leather with a cameo, showcasing, one of their photos and engraving of their name and wedding date. These albums make such a great heirloom and I love seeing their love story unfold in the album.
Sarah and Judah met at church and after just a couple coffee dates sparks were flying! Their relationship grew from there and over a year later Judah popped the question.
They share such a sweet love. I’m so happy for them.
The First Look is so special. 💕 It’s a time set aside, before the ceremony, for just the bride and groom to see each other and have a moment before they go into the rest of their day together.
