Santa Barbara Photo Shoot | Elizabeth Messina

Soft, beachy, casual yet elegant, a little bit vintage... what a stunning shoot by Elizabeth Messina.  Really, I haven't seen a photograph by Elizabeth Messina that I haven't loved.  I'm pretty confident she can make something as unappealing as a sink full of dirty dishes look beautiful.  So when you have her photograph something that is gorgeous on it's own, the result is simply perfection.

Wedding Wednesday ::

I absolutely love the wine country; it's romantic, casual yet elegant, and completely timeless.  If you ask me, it's the perfect setting for a wedding.  This wedding was held at Beaulieu Gardens - an absolutely stunning Napa Valley venue.   You can't go wrong with tree lined paths, lush green gardens, water fountains, and alfresco dining.

Montecito Wedding ::

I'm not sure if you remember this post from a few months back, but here is the same wedding!  And this was the bride's signature cocktail which I highly recommend.  The beautiful bride is my boyfriend's cousin and we were lucky enough to be part of this stunning day.   I love the natural look of the decor and how the bride's dress and cake match.  And what a gorgeous bouquet!  The entire wedding was so classically beautiful.
