Bridal photo sessions might be one of my favorite things in the entire world!  Getting to spend a couple of hours with a bride in the most beautiful dress she has ever purchased is a true honor and honestly…SO MUCH FUN!  This one on one time allows me the opportunity to capture gorgeous images of a bride who feels so pretty, confident, and beyond excited for her wedding day.  What could be better?

While I was out in Santa Barbara for UNITED I had the chance to photograph the stunning Crystal in her wedding dress.  As the sun rose over the horizon, the rolling waves glistened so brilliantly, it looked like tiny diamonds were dancing across the surface!  A big thanks to The Photography Smiths for leading such an incredible shoot.  Enjoy a few of my favorite images below!

This bridal session took place right outside of the Four Seasons…at 6 o’clock in the morning!  Waking up at sunrise provided for such gorgeous golden light!

Crystal actually lives in one of my favorite cities ever, San Diego, California.

Her genuine laughter and obvious joy for life made for such pretty pictures!

LOVE.

Styling your wedding dress with a couple of chunky necklaces can add a dramatic touch to any strapless gown.

Seriously Crystal…you are STUNNING!

As the sun rose higher in the sky, I had the opportunity to capture Crystal in front of the incredible Santa Barbara cliffs.

LOVELY!

Thank you again to everyone who made this bridal session possible.  The golden light that fills these images sorta makes me want to get up at sunrise every morning!  Sorta…kinda…okay maybe not EVERY morning. 🙂 HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
