Love means defying all the obstacles and taking all the risks just to be with one person.

Michael Stephens was showing off when he snapped this awe-inspiring portrait. It’s taken at the ruins of Knapp’s Castle in the Santa Ynez Mountains, where the bride and groom had a mini photoshoot prior to their ceremony at Cold Spring Tavern. The beach also couldn’t be missed as a prime photo location, and the couple got a few wonderfully moody shots in the sand as boats sailed by in the background.
