This past week was a pretty rough one for me...Something terrible happened in EVERY single one of my favorite shows!! (which the number of shows that I watch is more than i'd like to admit)...The Good Wife killed off my love Will Gardener...on New Girl my favorite couple Nick & Jess broke up... the list really goes on...so to say the least I was emotionally drained and needed a break so we decided to take a mini vacation to Santa Barbara for the weekend!
With all joking aside, as trying as my television week was, Todd & I really went to SB to take our engagement pictures! We decided to have them done at La Casa de Maria in Montecito. It is a place that is so dear to my heart. My family and I have attended a family retreat there every single year for almost my entire life! There isn't a summer I can remember that doesn't include talent shows, hand motions, and family affirmations, even though there are some I'd like to forget ;) It is a place of community, peace, love & faith that has molded me into the person I am today & has given my family a bond that we may never have had otherwise. Todd started attending family retreat a few years ago & fell in love with it as well. This place is a symbol of everything I want my new little family to be so what better place to have our pictures taken? Not to mention the grounds are absolutely stunning, there is no prettier place in the world to me.
Our wonderful photographer Christa Suppe was so sweet to make the trip out with her husband for the day to take our pictures! As awkward as we felt the whole time we were taking pictures, we were nervous about how they would turn out...well Christa must really know what she is doing cause they turned out great! We love them! She is so amazing! Here are some of our favorites from the shoot this weekend:
