Thanks for braving the brutally cold weather this weekend, Anna and Steve. I think you'll find the trip was worth it. I knew 2009 still had some amazing photos left, and this is proof.
beautiful!! I'm absolutely in love with the photo of her shoes in the tree...love it love it love it.
(12.15.09)Hi, I just came across your blog! You have got some really beautiful images on here. I love the shot from the engagement session above (just realised leaving a comment against the wrong post, ha ha) with the dark and moody sky.

Katie, Thank you so much for capturing the spirit of this extraordinary wedding celebration. We loved it! Keep 'em coming.

1. They love the Boston Celtics. Kyle even got monogrammed green kicks for all his groomsmen and new fathers-in-law. It sent shivers down my spine. The good shivers.
2. They love photography. Kyle got Audrey the Canon 50D for her wedding gift and her excitement was another shivery moment for me. She gave him an underwater camera for their honeymoon. SO good. SO very good.
3. They played water polo in high school. If you've read about how I got started in photography, you'll know that water polo played a HUGE part in my career and it's how I met Jason.
4. They love to quote movies and have a wicked sense of humor. Oh yes...the same here.
5. They had a spectacular wedding!
Their wedding was held at Pomar Junction Winery just outside Paso Robles. And...can I just rave for a second about this place? Apparently, this was the first wedding they'd had here...but it didn't show. The staff had everything running smooth as silk. The scenery was stunning. I intend to highlight this venue in a separate blog post...because if you are looking for a place to get married...I highly recommend checking this venue out. Super cool vineyards, train cars, oak trees, great tasting room, a separate house for getting ready, and awesome details everywhere. I believe this is going to be quite a popular place to get married next season.
**just a couple of slideshows left to blog...but I am officially done shooting weddings for 2009. a big special thanks and hugs to all my wonderful clients this year! May your anniversaries next year be celebrated with the same love and enthusiasm as your wedding day. I look forward to seeing you soon!**
What a fantastic wedding to finish out your 2009 season! This is absolutely one of my top favorite weddings from this fall season! Well done! Can't wait to see how you kick off 2010!
(11.18.09)Katie, these are amazing! I'm speechless... THANK YOU!
(11.19.09)Love the photo of the shoes in the tree! Amazing!! Your photos are so expressive, Katie! I can just hear the party music and chatter. I showed Mateo the trains (we have had a train theme in our relationship ever since it began:) and he said "Those are really good pictures." I said "Katie is amazing!"
(11.20.09)How awesome! Love the garter retrieval shot LOL! What a cool venue, and how fun to be the first wedding there EVER!
(11.20.09)Hello Katie,
what a great work you show!
Very nice pictures and a great location.
I will come back here again and look for more
pictures and for this nice blog.
And also my best wishes to the bridal couple!
With kind regards from germany,
Daniel
(11.22.09)i always love looking at your work. so beautiful!
i hope things are going well for you!!
Me: So, how did you two meet?
Them: A blind date.
Me: SHUT UP! NO WAY! (yes, i speak in exclamations a lot)
Them: Yup, really. A blind date!
Me: Who set you up?
Mackenzie: My old roommate.
Me: I can't wait to see her at the wedding. She should be giving a good speech! All gloating about how she set you two up, blah, blah blah.
Them: Ummm, no we haven't seen in years. She disappeared with Mackenzie's couch mysteriously and we've not heard from her since.
LMAO!!! A random couch-snatching roommate story! I've had those before, too! I had one sublet my room without telling me one summer...I walked into my room to find someone sleeping in my bed, just like Goldilocks. I suppose I'll forgive the couch-taking girl...after all, she brought these two together. Which also provided me with an awesome opportunity to meet them too!
amazing photos! AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!!!!!!
(11.15.09)The pictures are amazing!! I love you both and can't wait for the wedding. The pictures made me cry I am going to be a hot mess at the wedding!! I love you little brother :)
(11.16.09)Katie thank you so much....we had such a great time!
(11.16.09)
KATIE!!!! We had a great time in Paso. Great food, great wine and it was great meeting you... Thank you so much for taking such amazing pictures.
(12.08.09)Cute story! Gorgeous couple! Great work!
(12.08.09)Beautiful, Katie (as usual!). I ran into Anna and Steve at Costco the other day and they told me how much fun they had with you. Then, I saw a couple of the pics on Anna's FB and man, they are stunning. Can't wait to see the wedding pics!
(12.10.09)Two of our best friends. Erica and I knew you would do a wonderful job, as usual.
