Santa Barbara Destination Wedding | Gia & Victor

- August 2nd, 2009

One of the best weddings I’ve ever shot.

I can’t thank Gia & Victor enough for including me in their special week of celebration… after three non-stop days of shooting and over 11,500 images all I can say is it was just an incredible experience and perhaps the most awe-inspiring destination wedding I’ve ever shot!

Many of you have seen the engagement shoot I did with these two but the wedding week was a whole different reality. It was a non-stop, no holds barred experience from start to finish.

Special thanks to Gabriel Ryan & Leila Jones for helping me with the shoot.

But the real credit should go to the infamous Lisa Vorce of Oh So Charming! She created a masterpiece.

This wedding was littered with super hero vendors… from the unmatched Mindy Rice Floral Design to the amazing food from The Food Matters to Julie from Elysium videography to the best DJ in the business, Frank Delour of Soul Messiah.. it was all time.

I hope you like the slideshow… more coming soon!

Keep it you.
- Dane

PS… Thanks to Triple Scoop Music for their contribution to this week’s slideshow. You guys are the best.
