Sasha and Ryan, Santa Maria, CA

Sasha and Ryan got married at St. Mary's of the Assumption church in Santa Maria, and had their reception at the Santa Maria Country Club. Their guests were insanely fun, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a greater percentage of a wedding guest list that could dance really well. It was crazy.

Sasha and Ryan are super kind, compassionate, and really go out of their way to make people feel appreciated. They texted me the morning after the wedding just to thank me, which was really awesome of them.

Have fun in New York you two!!

There were certainly not many dry eyes during the father-daughter dance.

It didn't take me long as a wedding photographer to realize that the expressions on the bride's mother's face watching her husband and newly married daughter dance are often just as sweet as the dance itself:
