Indian Wedding Photography - Santa Barbara, California

i grabbed a cup of coffee at peets, jumped back in my car, and cranked the volume for the rest of my drive up the coast. kings of leon shot out of my speakers, and i shifted focus to the task at hand.

this past weekend, i had the pleasure of joining dane sanders for three days of shooting, beginning with a mehndi ceremony on thursday, an indian wedding on friday, and a stellar western ceremony on saturday. the couple was incredible, the details were fabulous, and the party's were each 100% rock star!!

i can't begin to express how stoked i was to have been asked to take part of such an epic wedding, all of which, was craftfully pieced together by the incredible lisa vorce. for the rest of the details, check dane's blog...

    your colors are soft when things are soft; your colors are vibrant when things are joyous and full of life. you guys are perfect at capturing the moment for what it is and adding a bit of your inner soul to the photography. gorgeous

    Was just talking to Dane about this wedding. You did an awesome job capturing it! Love the time lapse of getting her hair done, the detail picture from day 2, and the dip!
