Stowe House Wedding | Santa Barbara
- September 27th, 2009
I knew I was in for a treat when Courtney reached out months ago and asked me to shoot her wedding. Courtney is one of those dream brides that is not only pleasant and thoughtful, but professional and creative.
She built her day around she and Aaron and everything worked flawlessly!
Of course, with her natural beauty and charm, a lot could have gone wrong and things still would have felt right.
Stunning (and on-time) hair and make-up started the day right. We were off to the races.
Gorgeous dress.
Final touches.
Friends to help.
It was perfect.
Aaron’s mom was in awe.
Courtney’s mom was moved to tears.
A pensive moment before seeing Aaron for the first time.
Pensive turned to excitement… it was on!
The Stowe House was a great location for a Santa Barbara wedding. It was the perfect setting. Aaron was beside himself.
At first, he was a little formal.
Then he realized who he was with.
A moment later…
He couldn’t help himself.
Stunning.
The whole wedding party was gorgeous… and had an international flair.
The details were just right.
Mason jars were the perfect touch for a Westmont alum.
Petals from the sky accented the decor.
Aaron went from deer in the headlights to kid in a candy store. His guys had his back.
The ring-bearers were angelic.
The kiss.
The exit.
The bridesmaids were a blast.
The Becker special.
The day was flawless.
Special thanks to Fasttracker Rustin Michael for helping me out. Debbie from Chic Events made the whole event a treat for everyone.
And, of course, thanks to the new Mr. and Mrs. You guys are rad! I hope Belize is incredible.
- Dane

Thank you for the wee comments in between each photo. The photos are wonderful, and really captured the day, but those comments helped me really understand what was going on. Really like the shot of the groom amongst his mates.

Oh. my. goodness. Dane! Words elude me. Your impeccable eye captured so many precious moments. Thanks to these and, I’m sure, many more incredible images, our daughter’s (and now son-in-law’s) wedding day will remain fresh in our memories forever. Thank you, so so much.

Great job Dane, you really got the whole bridal party working the camera and having fun. Your visions for the photographs were so unique and exciting to be a part of. I had the best time and definitely one to remember. Just make sure you are available when I get married.
