Jess & Ben [San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography]

Ben is a family friend of my good friend Alyse. She and I moved from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco coincidentally at the same time last year. She introduced me to Ben's mom over the winter and we immediately started discussing the plans for Ben and Jess's wedding in Paso Robles. I gave them a huge list of great vendors in the San Luis Obispo area. Of course, after hearing about how Ben is into medieval reenactments and their wedding would be at Eagle Castle Winery, I knew Bob Stock at Phase1 Mobile DJ was the right fit for them. We had a great time at this wedding. They were such a fun couple from the pre-wedding moments to the last dance of the night.

2nd Photographer Again [Templeton Wedding Photography]

Last month I was hired to work with John Patrick Images on a beautiful wedding on a ranch in Templeton. I haven't worked as a 2nd photographer in, I'd say, about 8 years. It was a lot of fun to shoot with the stress and pressure of being the primary photographer. I got to take a lot of candids and experiment. There were a lot of great vendors, Sarah Angelique, Sean Dasmann from AMS, and Josh & Katherine Morris from Rain Studios on Video.

Victoria & Tim [San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography]

Victoria and Tim had their very special wedding day at their home in Arroyo Grande. There was a lot of originality going on in the wedding, a black wedding dress being most obvious. In addition to that their was a long-horn bull, rock-n-roll processional and a best friend skyped in from England. Also it was probably the sweetest wedding I've ever shot...no I mean literally! They had a chocolate fountain, cotton candy, smoores, italian ice, and a wedding cake. One of my favorite parts was the garter toss. Because they met on eHarmony they attached $30 onto the garter as a "pay-it-forward" so that whoever caught the garter could join the site. It was a very fun idea. Sarah Angelique did a great job keep everything organized and on-track. I also got to work with DJ Mike from AMS and Jack Hutchinson on video, both for the first time. They both did an excellent job!
