Got to hang out and shoot with Vinnie and Annabelle a couple weeks ago for their wedding in Shell Beach and Pismo Beach. It had been kind of bad weather for the previous few days then broke out with the beginning of what has been a gorgeous September! What better? I get a hot couple, gorgeous weather and I get to shoot a wedding in San Luis Obispo!


Why yes my photographer friends, the new 100 macro IS that much better than the old version! So sharp it could cut you! (yeah, that was a lame photographer joke, don’t judge me!)

Yes, they are all ridiculously good looking! Even better, they were all super nice people who made me feel like an old friend.

Michael and Amanda’s Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding was awesome but with all the fun they were having we ran a little short on time for the bride and groom photo session. No better solution than the Day After Shoot for these situations! The Ranch is a super cool place with tons of random backgrounds to use so I thought I’d put up a sampling of some of the fun!

It’s not everyday that someone gets married where they work but when you work at a beautiful golf course like The Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon it works out just fine! Okay, so John hasn’t actually started working there yet but he will be the head groundskeeper when he starts any day now.

They did this really cool little tree decorated with the wedding images of other family members, some recent, some a bit older. Very cool!
