Heather and Josh – Starhill Ranch wedding photography

It is time to talk about another fabulous wedding at an always fantastic venue!

Heather and Josh got married at Starhill Ranch.    I can’t decide why it is that every wedding I’ve shot there turns out to be the best wedding ever!  Is it because the venue is so unique and private or is it that only the most amazing couples end up having their wedding there?           mmm…well, no matter!  Either way I love it!

I simply loved this wedding and I love Heather and Josh.   We had a great time doing their engagement session and Heather’s bridals.  After the wedding photos were done, I told Heather that I was truly sad since we did not have any other shoots scheduled!

Well- let’s have a look at the wedding- here are a few of my favorites!

Heather’s got good taste!  Look at the jewelry!  I still want to know where she got those amazing necklaces for her girls!

Look at the photos that are hung on the walls!  Those are photos of the bride and groom, staring with photos of them as babies and finishing with their engagement photos.  So clever- those two!

I love to make the “portraits” at weddings different so when there is the opportunity I go to work!
Of course I had a super fun bridal party to work with so it was extra fun!

A live band is not uncommon at a wedding.
A live band featuring the groom and the groom’s men?  That’s Manhands for you!

Lauren and Preston made my job easy!  They had lots of great ideas!  I love coming up with locations and ideas for a shoot, but it is 100x more fun if a couple is involved in the planning like these two were.   Check out a few on my favorites!

We started things off at The Madison.

Jeff- the owner- knows Lauren and Preston and he let us have some fun inside.
It’s always funny to be inside a place where you usually only would see at night. Things look different in daylight- it was totally like we were the cool kids who got let back-stage!
