Happy November y’all!!! We are almost through this UNBELIEVABLE wedding season and have SO MUCH friggin work that we’re super duper excited about sharing … including this incredibly special wedding … why so special you ask? So many reasons (including a parade led by Santa Cruz accordionist The Great Morgani), but here’s a few big ones:

1. We both were born n raised in Santa Cruz and this wedding felt like Santa Cruz rolled up into one awesome ball;
2. There were 300ish guests in attendance (the biggest wedding we’ve shot to date), and every single person there clearly cared deeply for the bride, or groom, or both … never before had we witnessed a couple being surrounded by love of this magnitude;
3. Brian + Lydia are just the NICEST people … so much so that you might ask yourself, “are they for real?” and the answer is hands down yes, yes they are;
4. Last but certainly not least, the awesome and super talented Steph Crocker tagged along with us as a 3rd shooter for this wedding!! Steph has she been apprenticing with us this season (and doing one helluva job, by the way) and is forging ahead as her own business!! Be sure to keep an eye on her cuz Steph’s talent is gonna take her far, y’all.
