Kalena and Richard – Engagement

admin — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 21:18:13 +0000

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Kalena – a creative lady with a passion for baking. Her idea: turn her and her fiancé Richard’s favorite pastime together (baking!) into an engagement shoot. So unique! I jumped at the chance to shoot a couple in their element. They searched out and found an incredible kitchen in San Luis Obispo and the end product was as delicious as it looks.

Be sure to check out the little video I shot as well. FUN!

Emily and Jimmy – Film | San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographers

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 00:30:07 +0000

I photographed Emily and Jimmy a few weeks ago. Check out the rest of their engagement shoot: HERE. The pictures below are from the film I received back from my lab earlier this week. The film portion of the image collection provides an entirely different look when compared to the digital files. During the shoot, the lighting was vibrant and colorful. Because of this I decided to use a film stock that would create a soft pastel look. In contrast to the fully vibrant and super colorful digital images, the shots below are a soft and sweet addition to the collection. I find it fascinating that I sometimes prefer the pictures captured on film and other times I prefer the digitally captured ones. I love that I have the option to choose!

You can compare for yourself by checking out the rest of Emily and Jimmy’s engagement shoot: HERE.

Camera: Mamiya 645AF, 80 2.8 Lens, Fuji 400H Film. More: HERE.

Kelly and Nick | The Cliffs Resort Wedding Photography

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:56:24 +0000

I really enjoy being a Cliffs Resort wedding photographer as the hotel is great for wedding photography. The Cliffs Resort has a gorgeous grass lawn where wedding ceremonies take place and the stairway down to the ocean is perfect for sunset pictures. I’ve even found a little grassy field close to The Cliffs that provides a wonderful backdrop for more wedding pictures.

Kelly and Nick had an intimate wedding with many close friends and family. I was struck by how sincerely they love each other. It was obvious that they have a bond that only comes from taking it slow and working through life together. I was honored to be chosen to capture the moments that happened during their wedding day.

Kelly and Nick are obviously best friends. It is important to be best friends with your spouse. Michelle and I continue to grow because we have each other to keep us in check. If I’m struggling and need to be slapped around or set straight, she is right there to do it. In the same way, I am there to (gently) talk to her about whatever it is she is working through . A best friend is hard to come by and when your best friend is also your spouse, this is a special relationship.

Kelly and Nick, you are a beautiful couple, an inspiration and a perfect match. I wish for you a life of happiness and adventure.

Melissa from Kramer Entertainment setup the reception lighting and kept things rolling all night. Anna from The Cliffs was there to make sure everything ran super smooth (as it always does at The Cliffs). Sheri Hereford officiated and April Flowers provided the lovely displays and floral arrangements.
