Oh my, YIPPPEE!  I have been itching to finish and share this wedding with you.  

When I first met with Molly and Clint, well, actually the only time I met with Molly and Clint, I walked away with my fingers and toes crossed.  They were so easy going, possesed great character and Molly already had a Monique Lhullier gown … (insert drool!)  She also was working with one of the hottest coorindators on the Central Coast, Sonia Hopkins, LOVE, she makes the day a dream for her couples and the other vendors….even when 8.5 months pregnant, yes, basically she puts the rest of us to shame.

Back to Molly and Clint!  They met at work, and secretly dated for some time before anyone even knew they were together, how adorable is that?!  Growing up Molly had frequently visited the Montecito / Butterfly beach area where her grandmother lived, it was full of fond childhood memories and she just knew one day she would have her wedding in this very special place.  Well, after they got engaged, they started poking around and stumbled upon an incredible venue just down the road from the Biltmore in Montecito, Butterfly Lane Estate, can you say GORGEOUS?!!

Their day was sincerely filled to the brim with loving family and friends.  Molly had one of the best Maid of Honors we have ever worked with, holy cow, talk about selfless love, she was wonderful!  Clint had the funniest set of groomsmen who just kept us rolling while we shot, one joke after another.  And did I mention their band, we were in a time warp, back to the 80’s (my personal favorite), complete with costumes and all!  

All in all it was certainly a wedding highlight of 2012, you know, just one of those weddings you wish you could shoot over and over, each weekend, like Groundhog Day, but with a wedding.

Congratulations you two, I have no doubt you’ll enjoy every moment of this beautiful life, together!
XO allyson
