Our first Mar Vista Wedding

About two weeks ago we had the opportunity to photograph an intimate close friends and family wedding at the Mar Vista Cottages in Anchor Bay, CA.  When the phone call came in for this wedding we were both super excited!  Christian and his family have been visiting these cottages since he was kid and they hold a special place in his heart.  It was our very first Mar Vista Wedding and it was the perfect setting for such a small, close knit event.  Tom and Renata, the owners of the cottages, did a fantastic job setting up the grounds and preparing all of the right details to make it a beautiful evening to photograph. Sara and Eric brought this opportunity to us and they were such an easy couple to work with.  Together with their family they made us feel right at home and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect Fall wedding.
