I love DIY projects just as much as the next girl. But today I was introduced to a new, even more appealing abbreviation: DIT. Do it together.

Thus was the case for today's DIY-packed Santa Barbara wedding shot by the very lovely... [MORE]

They compliment and enrich one another. And on top of it all, our bride and groom, Alexis and Jay, manage to make an already gorgeous southern vineyard even... [MORE]
