wedding: robyn + ramsey

Hi everyone! How are we all enjoying this change in the weather? Well we certainly are! It's starting to get cold here in Carlsbad (for California). But we are loving it. Jacket weather, I mean come on? Who doesn't like to slap on a sweet coat they haven't worn for a year!? Plus it's getting us all geared up for our upcoming trip back to Michigan for Thanksgiving!

So, this.. this was our last wedding for the month. Quite a relief after an intense summer and beginning of fall. But, of course, we'll be back at it in December. There is no wedding season in CA! Fun all year round baby! This is Robyn and Ramsey. These two are a riot! Seriously, they just love to have fun and boy, did they ever. From start to finish, this whole day was just filled with laughter, love and of course, party time, all the time. Robyn and Ramsey actually live in Chicago and know some friends of ours out there. So when they hit us up and said they were getting married here in Carlsbad at Levyland, we were like: "um... well yeah, of course!" For being based out of Carlsbad it's pretty surprising that we hadn't been here for a wedding but we were stoked on this place! Very cool, modern industrial building and right on the lagoon. Couldn't be better. We actually sort of wished it was our house. Oh well.

Anyway, whiteout further adieu, here they are. It's not hard to tell how cool and fun-loving these two are so I think it best to just let these images speak for themselves. Thank you Robyn and Ramsey for having us. Such an honor to be a part of your wedding and a great, great pleasure to know you both. Drinks on us next time your in SD. No questions.

wedding: ashley + sam

What's up friends!? 

It's November!! I can't believe it. How is everyone? 

I am SO over Halloween it's not even funny.  I can't think of anything better than the Holidays coming up and being with the people I love the most. We get to go home to Michigan soon! yay! 

Anyway, things are moving right along here for us Reeds. We have been shooting some AMAZING weddings and meeting some INCREDIBLE couples!! This one is for sure one of our fav's. 

Ashley and Sam were married at her parent's home in Vista, Ca on a gorgeous fall day (for California).

They are from Bend, Oregon and we love that so much because we are obsessed with Oregon and anyone who lives there. The couple met at a dog beach!! How funny is that?! It's a total movie. They are full of laughter, love and passion and it shines through each image we captured on this amazing day. 

Ashley is a beautiful person, obviously on the outside but I got to really see her heart and character as well, and that is even more beautiful. And Sam is just such a stud. I mean the guy has the most giant heart, he has been all over the world helping people and he has a passion for loving the unloved. It is inspiring! We feel SO honored to have been asked by this couple to document their wedding not only because they are SO RAD but also because their entire family is full of amazing artists! It's intimidating sometimes!!! They have the coolest house filled with all kinds of art that each family member has created. It was such a fun evening! 

Ashley and Sam... We LOVE you guys!! We are SO thankful to know you and we have to stay friends always. We felt a connection within seconds of meeting you! We LOVED your wedding; it was perfect and you both inspire us. We hope this little sneak peak gets you pumped for what's to come. Your images are the memories you will forever have from the day you began your new life together. We know that you will conquer the world. Enjoy and cheers!!
