An Intimate Central Coast Wedding

Coming from Texas, I've always been enchanted with all that the Central Coast holds: sandy beaches lining deep blue oceans, wild poppies and sage, foggy walks among eucalyptus forests, and a relaxed, fun-loving attitude in everyone I've encountered. Along with some amazing local vendors, we created a beautiful intimate wedding vignette that is inspired by our neighborhood. Sand-colored neutrals and pops of golden yellow and all the beautiful little details for the California boho bride. 

Avenue Twelve created a cozy, intimate lounge area to enjoy choice local food from Haute Skillet. Ruby Rose provided a vintage dress and our bride created a locally foraged bouquet to complete a look of effortless style. Our couple took a romantic foggy walk through a local-favorite hike in Los Osos, ending the day as so many locals do. This colorful, romantic wedding shoot highlights all of our favorite elements for a Central Coast bride and groom.

Endless Summer

Times they are a changing. Summer is winding down and so is the sense of carefree, no-plans, spontaneity. Routines are coming back into swing and our days become more focused. And though you might miss the freedom in warmer days, there are still ways to keep that summer feeling as you drift into fall. 

The other evening I put down my phone, grabbed my camera, and went for a walk. 

It was just before dinner and I wandered around the neighborhood. This is how I spent much of my time as a kid and teen. My camera would fill up with photos of flowers or fading light or a fuzzy caterpillar I found. More than I loved the end result, I loved the posture of my heart then: being still enough to notice the beauty that so many may have easily walked past.

As each season changes, I find myself reflecting. 

Autumn comes with a new push for photography for me. Busier days and scheduling out my time to stay focused and efficient. I'm planning so many shoots and so much excitement is building in my heart.

Still, I hope I can always find the time to set aside my 'to-do's every now and then for the peace that comes with going for a walk. That's the magic in summer: freedom to play. So, I give you permission. Go play. In all your busyness, always find time to be silly, thankful, and to let go.
