photos from this trip
as of yesterday, we have officially booked our wedding venue! it is my absolute dream venue in santa barbara and the perfect combination of rustic, woodsy, coastal, and romantic. we’ve never even seen it in person but i am completely and totally obsessed with it. i’m getting so giddy just typing this! our date is pretty inflexible due to reis’ med school schedule so that made it rather difficult when searching for venues. when i originally e-mailed our venue, they said they were booked the whole month of november. so the search continued. then about a week later, they e-mailed me saying they had accidentally overlooked the schedule and our date was actually available!! meant. to. be. anyways, i’m ecstatic. so is reis. we just show it differently (i.e. i text all of my best friends immediately with multiple exclamation points (!!!) and he just says “that’s awesome.”) oh, i love him.
thanks so much mom and dad for going to check it out AND for being our wedding planners AND for dealing with all the “fun” stuff like contracts. i love you.
How exciting! Thinking of you both. :-)
YAYYYYYYY it’s gorgeous and I’m so happy you’re getting married in santa barbs! :D :D :D :D :D
YAAAAAAAAAY!! So meant to be!! Can I throw in a zillion more exclamation points for you?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
That sounds so exciting! Wedding planning sounds like a lot of fun. I should probably ask you that when you are a month away and wanting to pull your hair out! Also, how is it that in a picture where were can’t even see your face, you two still look like to cutest couple!

A beautifully talented photographer down here in Orange County….I used her for our newborn shots, and she does amazing wedding work. Only wish I had known her 8 years ago when I got married… http://www.amandamckinnon.com
