Sam & Megan

Wow... what a wedding! Sam and Megan were gracious enough to have me travel out to The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo to photograph their wedding day. Their day was so silly, laid back and fun that I want to do it all over again. The day was a perfect mix of goofiness and tender moments that we got to document on both digital and film.
