Darby & Reece are some of the most sincerely gracious people you could ever meet. They truly LOVE people and life. Darby is a school teacher and Reece is a film producer. We felt so honored to be a part of their wedding. Everyone felt like a friend, every second felt like a celebration. Their day was honest, down to earth, imaginative, quirky and creative. These guys were a perfect couple for us :)

These two had an amazing wedding in Santa Barbara, California overlooking the ocean. Darby & Reece thought of all of the little things and their day was a total reflection of them. I think it's pretty safe to say that they used my favorite color pallet of all time, accenting everything with a soft & pretty yellows, yummy green's and muted grey's. It was light and happy with a little bit of throw-back :). I loved all of the unique little elements and ideas these two implemented into their day.

There is not a lot that needs to be said about the amazingness that is this Smilebooth from Darby & Reece's Santa Barbara Wedding. 

These people know how to party.

I laughed a lot looking through the out-takes :) 

Darby is super crafty and decided to create her own custom backdrop for their Smilebooth. I love the colors and the way it all came together. It's always fun when people decide to do something a little different than the standard.

Where do I even begin with these two!? I suppose I will start by saying that Darby & Reece are those kind of people that change the world. They light up a room... warm a heart and know how to encourage the heck out of people. We feel honored and blessed to know them and be able to work with them.

Our story with Darby & Reece began before they were even aware of it. Darby's best friend, Jessica, emailed me the sweetest note saying, "For over a year now Darby has been looking at your site weekly, fawning over the photos of weddings you have been a part of. As her bestie/roomie, we sit side by side and look at them together on a regular basis. She used to say things like, 'One day, when I get married, I want Sarah Rhoads to be my wedding photographer. I love her photos! They are so so beautiful!' In March, Darby met a man and it just clicked. She (and Reece) are headed in a very happy direction. Now when she looks at your site she says, 'When Reece and I get married, I want to have Sarah Rhoads as my photographer. Her photos are gorgeous. Her blog is so interesting. I just love her!'" That little note put the biggest grin on my face. As destiny would have it, the day that these two got engaged, Darby got in touch and booked us to be their photographers for the California wedding! We cannot wait!
