Jess & Ben [San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography] 2011-09-18

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] 2011-07-07

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.

Megan & Nick [Monterey Wedding Photography] 2011-08-28

Megan and Nick had a fantastic wedding at the Monterey Museum of Art. The ceremony was in the rose garden behind the museum. After the ceremony we walked down to the pond for portraits with the bridal party. They had dinner in the front garden and then moved back out to the back garden for dancing and cake. DNA provided tunes for the event.

Mistee's Baby Shower [San Luis Obispo Family Photography] 2011-06-01

My friend Dawn hired me to shoot Mistee's baby shower was at her home in San Miguel. Well actually it was across the street in the open field. Although it was really windy in San Miguel that day, it was still a fantastic baby shower. Mistee looked amazing! I hope if I ever get pregnant I look that good. My friends and family are probably rolling on the ground laughing at that statement :)

Ben & Jess [San Luis Obispo Engagement Photography] 2011-06-02

Ben and Jess were referred to me by my friend Alyse. I met Ben's mom first in San Francisco. She asked me for a list of florist, hairstylist and DJs from the San Luis Obispo area. I was happy to help them and I'm super excited for this wedding because I get to work with some of my favorite vendors all in one event! Ben and Jess were in Morro Bay the same weekend I had finals at Cuesta so we met up at the dunes just North of the Morro Rock. They brought their dog and a good friend to help wrangle her. Jess and Ben is very photogenic and Ben has a great grasp on how to act in a pose so that the photo is natural but still has a portrait feel. I can't wait to work with them in July at Eagle Castle.
