I gush all the time about how much I love my job. Some people probably think I'm crazy, or beating a dead horse, but really; I get to be a part of such amazing moments in so many people's lives. And that is such a powerful thing -- maybe even better than living those moments because an outside perspecitve is always a different (sometime truer, sometimes less, but pretty much always more rose-colored-glasses) than being a part of a moment.
But the reality here is I've known Jessica for a long time. Not very well, but we've been acquanted for years. And she's always radiated joy, she's just a happy person with a beautiful smile. But there's something brighter about her with Travis. There's something (as cheesy as I sound) complete. And there's nothing that makes me happier as a wedding photographer than capturing a love that's true, that will last a life time, that needs to be remembered.
And Spanish Oaks Ranch is always a wonderful place to take photos. I swear, that place will transport you. It's beautiful, as is all of San Luis Obispo, but it's got so many great trees and views that you just can't find in other places.
So enough of my rambling, here is Jessica and Travis, and if their beautiful smiles don't make you feel warm and fuzzy then I don't know what will.







This ring, aside from being stunning, is also so important to them as the stones used are from his grandmothers. (Not all of them, but some). I just love heirloom rings and incorporating the past into this future you are starting together. I think it creates such a strong start and a reminder that you have the support of everyone around you as well.
They wanted to take this next one more as a joke, but I couldn't help but post it becuase really, even on a semi these two look amazing!


These last photos just kill me. I feel like my life is complete. Job done. <3 (But let's be real, it's also her choice in colors and clothes that makes these over the moon!)
