Joe and Karen, Pismo Beach CA

Joe and Karen had an intimate wedding - a total of 11 people were there including them! I REALLY love these super small weddings, because they're so intimate. I feel like a guest because I can personally interact with every single guest, and the couple gets lots of time to hang out with every single person they invited. :)

We went down to Shelter Cove for some photos, and their reception dinner was at Pelican Point Restaurant. I drove away with a huge smile on my face - it's so cool to see couples in love sharing their wedding day with people they love. Weddings are rad.

Ken, these rock! I really love the interplay of light & shadow on the gazebo (?) floor during the ceremony.

Ken,

I don't know if you get to read these comments, but this is my personal comment to you, as sister of the bride.

The photos brought tears to my eyes, especially the one of my sister and my mother. Since I couldn't be there as I live in Canada, I haven't been able to see either of them as often as I'd like to. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being able to capture the radiance and beauty of both my sister and my mother. As well as her happiness shining through. Joe may be the cause of the happiness, but you captured it on film in such a way that I could feel it all the way up here.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you more than you will ever know.

Zara
