Erin and Joe – Wedding

admin — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:55:39 +0000

This has been an incredible year. I’ve photographed large weddings, extra-huge mega weddings, a few out of state, a couple in different countries, many country farm house weddings, a handful of vineyard weddings and one or two completely intimate affairs.

Erin first emailed me after looking through my website. She asked if I would be interested in photographing her and Joe’s wedding at an estate in San Miguel. She described to me her desire to share with her family and a few friends the creations of one of her favorite chef’s, Shaun Behrens. Being one that really enjoys the kitchen, I was thrilled with the idea and very excited to photograph Chef Shaun doing what he does best.

After a warm October afternoon, a small breeze picked up and blew it’s way through the valley. Erin and Joe stood in front of their families and spoke their quiet vows signifying the start of their marriage. As the sun set up high on the ridge, everyone was very excited as plate after plate of delicious food and paired wines were brought to the table. As the dark blue night took over, toasts were made and laughter could be heard from across the vineyard. The distant glow of Paso Robles could be seen from beyond the farthest mountain ridge leaving an orange glow that separated land from sky. With belly’s full of the most delicious wines, fresh quail, paiaya, prawns, lamb, dolmas and a gorgeous deconstructed chocolate sundae, we sat back and took in the day. Erin and Joe were now married and we were all fortunate enough to have been a part of this special day.

Be sure to check out the little video (below) I put together as I was doing the photography throughout the day.

Whitney and Josh – Engagement

This was the wettest shoot I have ever done. From the second I left the house to the moment I got back in my door, it was pouring. Whitney and Josh were excited for a romantic adventure so, we met up in Downtown San Luis Obispo and did most of the shoot under their umbrellas. Shooting in pouring rain and without the luxury of a gorgeous sunset or San Luis Obispo’s pristine hills scattered with 300 year old oaks forced me to try a few things that I haven’t done in a long time. And to be honest, I really like the results! Sometimes jumping out of my comfort zone and into a deep puddle seems to be just the thing for reinvigorating the creative side that tends to want a vacation the week before Christmas. Regardless, Whitney and Josh were a lot of fun and I admire their adventurous spirit!

My CCWP Presentation.

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:08:12 +0000

Last month I had the opportunity to speak in front of 80 central coast wedding professionals at the Lighthouse Suites wedding venue (HERE). Let me first tell you, I barely scraped by with a C in my college speech class, making public speaking right up there on the “fun scale” with getting a root canal. Thankfully, there was an A+ meal for all attendees and wine to make this particular experience a little less painful. I’ve found that being a small business owner, occasionally this type of thing comes up where I need to suck it up and throw myself before a crowd and talk. So, because of the food, wine, awesome attendees and the great opportunity to look like a dork in front of a room full of people I have a huge amount of respect for, I begrudgingly agreed to speak. And lucky for the world (cough-cough), it was videotaped!

In my attempt at total disclosure and complete transparency, I submit to you, my presentation……uh, it’s pretty long but, I do take a few questions at the end. I’m thinking about a new career as Press Secretary, just sayin’:

And below is my actual video presentation:
