Central Coast Fashion Week Documentary Premiere [San Luis Obispo Fashion Photography]

Over the Summer I shot a series of Fashion Show at Native featuring several designers and local retail stores. Robin Chilton of Peregrine Media was also shooting the series for a documentary. Tonight was the premiere of his documentary at the Palm Theater in downtown San Luis Obispo. I drove down for the showing and it was amazing! Several of my images were featured in a Tribune article to promote the documentary. Biz Buzz: Is SLO becoming the Sundance of fashion? Next up, the film will be screening at the Paso Digital Film Festival on November 19th.

Candice & Adam [Santa Cruz Wedding Photography]

Candice and Adam found me at the Spring 2010 Monterey Bridal Fair. Thanks again Central Coast Bride :) There wedding was at the Pajaro Dunes in Watsonville and luckily the wind was more chill than the last time I shot there. They had a great cast of wedding vendors. Sarah of Sarah Ward Events kept everything organized as the wedding coordinator, Connie Moore provided her beautiful floral designs, DJ Evan from DNA kept us entertained and Pacific Coast Catering provided us with an amazing meal.

Soiree San Francisco [San Francisco Commercial Photography]

First off I love this place! It's a tiny little boutique stationary shop and every time I stop by I fall in love with all of their adorable cards, invitations, gifts, notepads etc. I met Misty at Soiree through the owner of Dottie Doolittle. Maggie was at their grand opening and mention that she had hired me to help with her website. They are right next door so the next day she took me by to introduce me. Misty said they also needed help getting new products on their website. Most small business owner aren't tech/web savy but want to have a online presence and sell online. We updated their holiday section with lots of awesome cards, gifts and stationary ideas. Also we are talking about a referral program for Family Portrait sessions. Next, we plan to work on their Facebook and Email Marketing programs.

Nikki & Matt [Carmel Valley Wedding Photography]

Nikki is also originally from Arkansas, when we were meeting and she found out I was from Little Rock she said "This is fate." Nikki and Matt's, Rancho Cañada wedding was nothing short of Fabulous, as she promised in a note on my contract. Tiffany Fields did a wonderful job on the flowers and Officiant Heather Swallow's ceremony was beautiful.

Colleen & Brandon [Monterey Wedding Photography]

I actually never met Colleen and Brandon before their wedding. I talked to Colleen a few times but mostly we just emailed. So I didn't really know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised not just by the couple but by the beautiful setting, elegant decor and fun group of guests. This was my first wedding at Club Del Monte and I was super excited about the peacocks. One of them posed for me and Alex for several minutes while I got the perfect shoes shot (We all know how much I love shoes!) Actually feathers were a theme at this wedding. The bouquets by Kathleen Keil's were surrounded in white feathers and the center pieces were white feathers in tall vases. Veronica at Cakes by Veronica did a beautiful job on the cake.
