Beautiful, artistic, timeless, magical, ethereal, a moment in time…. these are all words that jump to my mind when I think of Elizabeth Messina’s work, it’s truly one of a kind! Not to mention she is one of the kindest and most honest people I’ve ever met in the industry. If  you aren’t a daily reader of her blog Kiss the Groom, you need to be! It’s a daily source of inspiration for me and our office. When Kathryn from Snippet and Ink was on her honeymoon I wrote a guest post all about the color green and Elizabeth’s work was a big part of that inspiration! Around this time last year she so generously offered to do a love shoot with my then fiance Tony and I. I must say, I am SO in love with my pictures, I know they’ll be something that my husband and I cherish for years to come! I adore Elizabeth and her work… be on the lookout because there are amazing things sure to come her way!

May you be inspired,

This weekend I am heading up to Santa Barbara for a friends wedding and in thinking about it I realized I am a real Santa Barbara fan.  I love the  terraine, the vineyards, the landscape and the rich history. Two of my favorite photographers (Jose Villa and Elizabeth Messina) hail from the Santa Barbara area and they shoot some amazing weddings there. Below are some of the images of Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas that I find truly inspiring.
