Our featured real wedding spotlight is by Holly Steen from Cakes and Kisses Wedding Photography. The wedding took place in Santa Ynez, California at Gainey Vineyard. What’s better than wine flowing freely and a beautiful couple in love?! Read on to view Holly’s gorgeous images as she tells the wedding story from her point of view.
I don’t have the words on how lucky I am to have the beautiful couples that stroll into my life. Each has a unique story, or happen stance that allows me to be able to shoot their wedding. Whether is be luck, fate or chance… this wedding was beautiful.
I met our bride standing outside a Sprinkles Cupcake shop in Newport Beach. I had just finished a consultation and was getting ready to go for a short run on along the coast with my best friend/assistant, Chandra. But alas, we decided, or was it fate, to get a Sprinkles Cupcake instead. The bride and I chatted the entire time, not as strangers but as best buddies getting treats together. We talked about details, flowers, shoes, decorations, save the dates, and all sorts. Then, Chandra revealed that I was a wedding photographer. She showed her fiance my images on the website and they were hooked.
She included her gorgeous red English Bulldog as the ring bearer.
Her shoes were part of her something old.. but I think it was more like something divine.
Every guest stayed until the last song, “I had the Time of my Life” and danced the night away. It was an absolutely stunning event.

I am so grateful for my lack of interest in running at the beach that evening, and giving into my sweet tooth instead.
