Johanna and Brian

Last week during “the storm” I had the pleasure of photographing Johanna and Brian. These two are incredible troopers as Johanna was looking for some fun shots to send out with her save the dates. We emailed back and forth a few times as the turned and a three day storm hit California with a ton of rain. I am always looking for an adventure but, I was also aware that a lot of couples are looking for blue skies and lots of pretty sunshine; neither of which were at all available last week. Without hesitation, Johanna and Brian headed up to San Luis Obispo for their engagement shoot. The clouds were extremely dark (even at 3pm) so we did a lot of shooting with my trusty soft box.

Alaina and Matt

San Luis Obispo wedding photographers, Bluephoto.biz travels to Winters California to photograph Alaina and Matt’s wedding day amongst the a grove of walnut trees. The garden wedding was wonderful as the property is equipped grape vines and a small pond perfect for a wedding.

Alaina and Matt

We did their engagement shoot, but the following morning they said, “I do.” These two live in Oklahoma and weren’t able to make a trip out to California prior to their wedding so, we decided to meet up in downtown Vacaville (which is between Napa and Davis, California) for a quick engagement session prior to their rehearsal dinner. We had a nice walk downtown looking for old walls and streams of light as the sun began to set.

Kerry and Jan

Kerry and Jan had a very romantic wedding at a gorgeous estate with a grand view and beautiful green pastures all around. The soft colors pastels were everywhere from the cake to the table settings and centerpieces. Around the property, horses were as abundant as the sun splashing its rays across the green grass, through the dried brush and scattering amongst the oaks. Jan is in love with his wife. Kerry is in awe of her man. These two sought out a partner, found each other and haven’t let go since. There was a classic elegance running through the evening and touching every part of this wedding celebration. I am honored to have been present to capture their day. Kerry and Jan, I hope all of your dreams come true.

Jasmine and Morgan

Jasmine and Morgan had a gorgeous {albeit windy} wedding last weekend up at Cambria Pines Lodge. Their wedding ceremony was held at Shamel Park which is a quick trip down the hill from Cambria Pines Lodge. When I arrived at Cambria Pines Lodge to get some pictures of Jasmine getting ready, I was surprised to see Ashley who made the dress doing some last minute touch-ups. I see gorgeous gowns each week and have never really thought about the amount of work that goes into each piece. Watching the Ashley’s skilled hands go over last minute alterations was like watching any other artists scrutinize their work prior to putting it out for display.

Paso Robles Weddings

As a Paso Robles wedding photographer, Dancing Horse Ranch has continued to inspire me with the surreal light that comes across the grass and through the trees each evening. The first wedding I shot at Dancing Horse Ranch was Billy and Kristen’s a year or so ago: HERE. I was taken by surprise by the golden streaks and soft golden light that graced us that evening. Most evening light is a bit more directional but, at Dancing Horse Ranch, the color seems to be bouncing around the entire valley. Since Billy and Kristen’s wedding, I have never been disapointed by this amazing place. I assume that most photographers have special wedding venues where they feel at ease creating images. For me, Dancing Horse Ranch is one of those places (even in 107 degree heat – as it was when we shot the image below).
