joy marie associates | michele + ben | santa barbara wedding photography

From our very first conversations, I fell in love with Michele & Ben! I knew that our associate, Brandon, would be a great fit for this amazing couple. They have such an incredible story of love & loss. A few months before their wedding, we met to discuss the day. Michele & Ben told me they had recently received news of Michele’s mother’s terminal cancer diagnosis. I was so affected by Ben’s tenderness towards Michele. This is what makes a beautiful marriage, and I’m so happy these two have found each other. I just love the way Brandon captured the spirit of these two beautiful souls. Their ceremony took place at the gorgeous Trinity Episcopal Church, and reception at the Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara…it was a celebration of lives well lived and new beginnings. Congratulations, Michele & Ben! xo

A big thanks to Rebecca Gigandet of Imagine Weddings & Special Events for doing such a wonderful job coordinating this special day. Also, my ridiculously talented friends over at Shade Tree Films did an AMAZING job putting together a short film from the wedding for Michele’s mother to view before she passed away. It’s a MUST WATCH film. And be sure to read the Blog post before watching the film!
