Okay, so I pretty much couldn’t stop laughing the entire wedding with Tim and Kathryn, they are the funniest people ever! I love their relationship, they just don’t take anything too seriously and have such a good time wherever they go. Canada meets Australia and it’s all good!
We started the day at a private residence in the Marina with Kathryn and Chris headed over to Parc55 hotel to shoot Tim and the guys. The ladies were running a little late but we made it up to Saint Dominic’s Cathedral in time for a beautiful ceremony. Some may remember the last wedding I photographed at St Dominics that was also a ton of fun! We then headed over to The Palace of Fine Arts where there was massive construction but we still rocked it and had a great time. Then it was up to the elegant Hamlin Mansion for dinner, dancing and good times.

Chris Stewart 2nd shot for me this day and really was on his game; check out the below EPIC shot from just before the ceremony! Nice work Chris!

Mike and Amanda’s wedding was so much fun! I met up with Amanda and her wonderful ladies the morning of the wedding at La Bellasera in Paso Robles to shoot details and getting ready images. The light in the rooms was great for photography, the details were gorgeous and everyone had a great time. We then headed over for the wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch which was a bit windy early on but the light was great. There was a lot of events packed into the evening so we had to rush through our bride and groom session but I think you’ll agree that Amanda and Mike look amazing and the light was just perfect!

Huge thanks to Ely for the help!
Great job to LaBarbera Sound and Debbie and Ali at Bowman Nichols Events!

Busy month! Funny how every season in this line of work is so different. In the Winter I meet with potential clients, Spring is engagement sessions, Summer and Fall are all about wedding photography. But there’s always these transition times when I’m doing a lot of each! In the past 2 weeks I’ve shot 3 engagement sessions and 4 weddings everywhere from Dolphin Bay Resort in Shell Beach to Mayacama Resort in Santa Rosa (and a lot in between).
This engagement session was with Sean and Sandy, a wonderful couple who’s gorgeous Vintner’s Inn wedding will be later this fall. We decided to mix things up and do a morning shoot so if the light looks like it’s coming from the wrong direction that’s why ;)

As the wedding season is heating up, engagement sessions are in full swing so you know I’m happy as I love a good engagement session!. Annabelle and Vinnie are a great couple who were totally devoted to getting great images. They are completely in love and so easy going, they were such a pleasure to get to know! San Luis Obispo engagement sessions are so great because we have everything from completely rural to modern architecture and just about everything in-between! I love shooting in San Francisco and other great cities but there’s a reason why I can SLO my home. :)

We got owned by Facebook!
I met up with Tim and Kathryn in Palo Alto at the Facebook office for their engagement shoot, only for us to all discover that Facebook took down their sign so we didn’t have anything to shoot! I’m betting that so many people want pictures in front of the sign that the neighbors complained. Oh, well, we still had a great time shooting around San Francisco.
Tim races bikes (as do I) and Kathryn runs marathons so we all had a lot in common and good times were had. I do think that Kathryn may have gotten sick of Tim and I talking bikes, sorry Kathryn! :)
I’m really looking forward to their San Francisco wedding later this summer; great location at the Hamlin Mansion and awesome couple, what more could I ask for?

The last 6 weeks have been incredible! I want to welcome all my new clients (there’s a ton of you!) and introduce everyone to Lisa and John who’s engagement we shot up in San Francisco. This was our second or third attempt at shooting as we kept getting rained out but it finally worked out to shoot during the Superbowl. If you aren’t a huge NFL fan, then Superbowl Sunday is a great day to hit up all the normally crowded locations you wouldn’t normally go to!
Lot’s more fun stuff coming up in the coming months; New York weddings, Biltmore Resort in Santa Barbara, Napa Valley engagement session, San Luis Obispo family sessions… tons of exciting shoots!
