santa barbara wedding by joy marie…shariyah + cameron

08.21.2009

Every wedding, I have the honor of shooting is another amazing opportunity to capture a new love story. Shariyah & Cameron have a very sweet, deeply spiritual love story, and their Santa Barbara wedding was a magnificent reflection of that. They traveled all the way from New Zealand to say their vows at the historic Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara. It was a rich & beautiful day, and an incredible reminder to all present of what marriage is really all about. Thank you Shariyah & Cameron, and your loving families, for allowing me to be a part of such an AMAZING day! Be sure to check out their amazing wedding Slideshow!

Shariyah and her sisters, who by the way were raised by an INCREDIBLE mother in an Amish community. Hard to believe, right!?!

there were a lot tears flowing, but something about this moment after Cameron seated his mother at the ceremony completely melted my heart!

cara - Popped over from The Wedding Cabaret — these are *just* breathtaking! Just, everything! I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve scheduled posts (with credits to you) featuring the bride’s *gorgeous* dress on 11/19, the beautiful photo of Shariya sitting in the medieval/Old English/antique-y room on 12/24, and the couple hugging (with Shariya’s shoes kicked up!) on 1/15 — I like to do dress details + love features weekly, and I’m quite ahead of myself :) Seriously, everything looks so lovely, congrats to the couple + Joy Marie, too :) !

Shae - Joy-Marie:
It was such a pleasure getting the opportunity to meet you and have you work on this amazing day and to celebrate this occasion. You have surpassed any expectation I had for what these images would look like – and as a result allowed all of those not present on the day to feel like they were really there – that is the truth of a photographer and their art, I believe.

Cam and Shariyah:
You both look like two stars from the sky sent down to Earth for a day. Every picture depicts the bliss you were both in filled with the love, magic and blessings God surrounds your union in. It was a blessing to watch and be a part of your magic. Thank you!

Love you
