Danielle and Clay | San Diego, California

Dane — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:45:25 +0000

There are wedding days and then there are Danielle and Clay wedding days. Getting ready before heading to the Prado.

Not only was Danielle stunning…

… Clay knows how to deliver in a major league way too. Although Clay played for the Florida Marlins this past season, he used to be a pitcher for the San Diego Padres so the stadium made for a pretty amazing horizon.

Danielle and her girls were a treat to be around the whole day. So much fun!

Balboa Park in San Diego was the perfect location for this epic destination wedding.

The winter sun lit Danielle up and made Clay pause.

Just gorgeous.

I love the architecture. It just makes for the perfect backdrop.

It seemed everywhere Danielle went, there was perfect frame around her. This shot was Sara’s idea. She’s so great.

Every element of the day made it perfect.

Congrats you guys! Such a gift to be able to serve you. Can’t wait to connect again soon!

P.S… special thanks to Sara France and Bronson Pate for joining in for the fun!

Lindye has launched!

Dane — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:26:10 +0000

It is with great excitement (and some sadness) that we say farewell to Lindye Galloway as a formal member of the Dane Sanders Photographers team. Until recently, Lindye had been with our studio creating remarkable experiences for clients and photographers and as well as planning special events, creating remarkable moments here at the studio.

While Lindye was working here at DSP, she has also been running her event design & coordination business and is now moving on to run her venture full time. I am thrilled to see her expand to so quickly! We are so excited for what is to come for Lindye and witness what has grown out of this studio. I expect her to be even more of a force to be reckoned with now.

The great news is our plan is to still keep partnering on Make Your Day YOU! events into the foreseeable future.

Not only do we wish Lindye the best, I also wanted to endorse her publicly. She is a must have coordinator for stylish, unique, and personalized events and weddings that are a true refection of YOU! If you want an amazing event designed or if you just to personally congratulate Lindye, be sure to reach out to Lindye here:

Liz and Malcolm’s Napa Wedding Reception

Dane — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:19:59 +0000

My favorite are couple’s that make their day theirs!

That was certainly the case for Liz and Malcolm. After feeling stress about their state-side wedding plans, they made their day their own by eloping in Maui. Because I was already booked, my good friend David Hessemer took care of them in Hawaii and I got to celebrate in Healdsberg, near Napa, California to shoot their reception.

The day felt just like a wedding day but with NO stress. It was all family and fun!

There’s just something about Italian’s that make life more enjoyable.

These two are so hot!

Vineyard’s in the Fall/Winter in Napa are gorgeous!

These two made the fields come alive even more!

Getting ready for some fun.

One quick pit stop though…

Good times!

Congrats you two. I’m blessed to know you and be in your lives!

Janelle and Brett’s Santa Barbara Wedding

Dane — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:39:17 +0000

Weddings in Santa Barbara are some of my favorite. Whether destination or not, the combination of history, aesthetic and individuality bring a unique style to every event.

Janelle and Brett were no exception.

Color and light… and love were what marked this day.

Brett was just a little excited.

I loved how all these two wanted to do was go find each other.

They just love being together.

Epic space.

Epic people.

Epic style.

Bless you guys.

Stowe House Wedding | Santa Barbara

Dane — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:48:06 +0000

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.
