Stowe House Wedding | Santa Barbara

- September 27th, 2009

Courtney and Aaron at Stowe House Wedding in Santa Barbara

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.
