Many of the weddings we have the privilege of photographing are referrals from our amazing clients (thank you, thank you, thank you). So, it's not uncommon for us to meet the bride and groom the day of the ceremony, and that's exactly what happened with Evan and Curt. A few months ago, Evan's mother Brent emailed me after a future bride (hi, Sarah; thank you again and we'll see you in December) of ours referred us to her. Within a few email exchanges, we had everything worked out and Brian and I were on our way to the Ojai Valley Inn. Over the years, I've photographed some gorgeous wedding venues, and the Ojai Valley Inn is easily among the top. We couldn't have hoped for a better day. Evan, Curt, and their families were completely relaxed and wonderful to work with.

Michelle from Mint Julep Social Events designed a stunning event; a perfect compliment to such a tranquil place. Michelle, thank you for being so wonderful to work with (and for the extra photo time with Evan and Curt at the end). Evan, Curt, Brent, and Steve; I can't wait for you to see the rest of the photos!
