Jasmine and Morgan

Jasmine and Morgan will be married this year up in Cambria. They are having a beach ceremony and then heading over to Cambria Pines Lodge for their reception. Jasmine booked me for their wedding a while ago and we didn’t have a chance to meet until this weekend for their engagement shoot. It was great to finally meet in person because we have been friends on Facebook for a while. Because of our interaction online, I felt like I was hanging out with friends I’ve known for a long time. Very cool.

Morgan and Jasmine have been together since High School. They are incredibly comfortable with each other and share a bond that comes from living a portion of your life together and going through many of the same experiences. I love photographing best friends. These two are truly wonderful people and I really enjoyed our evening wandering around San Luis Obispo looking for gorgeous light.

Carolyn and Kevin

Carolyn and Kevin had a wonderful destination wedding right here in San Luis Obispo. I was one of the only locals present for the festivities! Their ceremony was held at the Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church off of Grand Ave. After the ceremony, we all headed up to Castoro Winery in Paso Robles. This time of year is simply amazing in Paso as the sun sets late at night and the light becomes incredibly vibrant shooting color across the horizon. Last Saturday didn’t disappoint as the weather was warm during the day but, Carolyn and Kevin chose to start the festivities late in the evening when everything was cooling off.

Karlie and Travis

Karlie and Travis had an amazing Fess Parker Winery Wedding in Los Olivos, California. Los Olivos is located about an hour north of Santa Barbara and an hour south of San Luis Obispo. The winery has a huge yard and plenty of vineyards with gorgeous evening light. The vineyards are spotted with 100 year old oaks which make for a perfect setting. Karlie has an obvious tendency towards the 50’s which was evident in a lot of the small details that went into her wedding day. Karlie’s post modern approach towards the girls’ hair, dresses was mixed very well with a contemporary dark color pallet. I loved shooting this wedding as everywhere I turned there was another colorful item or special moment to capture. Karlie and Travis inspired me with their instructions that consisted of, “we trust you – just do your thing!”

San Luis Obispo County Events Ordinance

CABO also includes farmers, ranchers, and other landowners who own agricultural land directly targeted by the proposed ordinance, as well as owners of other rural or residential properties (e.g., B&Bs) that might be indirectly affected by this or subsequent similar proposals.

CABO is open to all County residents or other interested parties who oppose the Planning Commission’s proposed ordinance.

The Proposed Events Ordinance is ill-advised, especially at this critical juncture in the economic cycle of our County.

The ordinance would harm the County’s vital and burgeoning wedding industry, creating ripple effects throughout related businesses and the County-wide economy.

Much-needed wedding tourism and agri-tourism dollars would be siphoned away from SLO County by neighboring, wedding-friendly counties, costing the County significant revenues, job losses, and further stagnating our local economy.

Katie and Tim

Tim and Katie will be having their Santa Barbara wedding this summer. Their San Luis Obispo engagement shoot was right around the time of hay harvest. There are so many fields with hay bales in them right now a photographer can’t help but take advantage. Both Katie and Tim had a lot of fun exploring the surrounding towns such as Cambria and the Cambria Pines Lodge along with Spanish Oaks Ranch as well as the San Luis Obispo Mission all of which are wonderful places to get married. If you are looking to find a Santa Barbara wedding venues then you should definitely check out the Santa Barbara Mission as well as Fess Parker Winery, Cabrillo Arts Center, The Biltmore, The Bacara Resort, Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden, The Ojai Valley Inn and Parkers Wine Country Inn and Spa, Firestone Vineyard, Four Seasons Biltmore, Gainey Vineyard, Montecito Country Club, Moody Estate and the Arbor at Twin Peaks Ranch.

San Luis Obispo engagement photography session with Jenni and Joe. Jenni and Joe will be married at the Madonna Inn later this year. Bluephoto photographer, Jonathan Roberts captured their engagement images at Edna Valley winery and the surrounding area. Bluephoto is one of the best wedding photography companies in Santa Barbara, Paso Robles, Montery and San Luis Obispo.

Marybeth and Scott

Marybeth and Scott are two of the fittest people I have ever photographed. I ride my bike constantly and am in pretty good shape but, these two were running circles around me. I am always so happy to see couples that share so much in common and are obviously best friends. Towards the end of our session, the sunlight started to bounce off the barn roof and through the hazy coastal fog, sending small flecks of golden light through the grass and making for a perfect ending to an amazing day. Thanks for a great time and I wish you two the very best!

Christina and Kellie

Christina and Kellie’s giggling was contagious; I could barely keep the camera steady (thanks guys, geesh!). Anyways, these two lovely ladies are getting hitched at Sycamore Springs this year. They informed me that they are going to have one of the “most traditional, non-traditional weddings” I have ever been to. Sounds like a ton of fun. Their guest list is extensive and I am betting from how sweet they are that they have a ton of totally awesome friends.
