Vanesza and Ryan's Wedding

Vanesza and Ryan's wedding was this past weekend. One thing special about shooting this wedding was that I had the honor of shooting with my good friend Karen. We had a great day on the beach in Goleta.

Vanesza and Ryan had a beautiful, intimate wedding on the beach with close friends and family. There was a sitar, drums and the tiniest little drum playing before the wedding. I couldn't believe that I could actually hear that little heart drum! After the ceremony there was a butterfly release. I think they were a little bit shocked by how cool it was because I thought they were going to fly away quickly but it took a little while for them to warm up and they really enjoyed hanging out on the bouquets.

One butterfly flew around Vanesza and Ryan and finally wound up on her flowers. I'm not sure Ryan knew what to think of the butterfly by the look on his face! They are an incredible couple that has been together for more than 9 years. At the end of the ceremony, there was a beautiful tribute to their new baby that's due in a couple months.

Here are a few pictures from their day.
