Dana and Bryan's Engagement, Pismo Beach CA

Dana, Bryan, and I headed to Shelter Cove and Price Canyon for their engagement photos. Both are areas I love, and the field is one of my secret spots (okay maybe it's not secret, but I found it!).

Dana and Bryan were super fun to be around. Bryan asked me all sorts of insightful photography questions that went beyond what I normally get, and it was actually pretty fun to think about and answer them. One of the questions he asked me is, "While you're shooting, do you ever think 'oh no, this shoot is going terribly and these photos are going to come out badly'?"

I responded that sometimes sessions are a little awkward at first, but once people realize that it's more of just a time for us to hang out and less a super-strictly-posed mall portrait session, things loosen up and we always end up getting great images. So the answer is no - even couples who are really worried about the shoot being awkward or difficult end up realizing pretty quickly that things are a lot easier and more fun than they thought they would be.

Great questions Bryan, and it was awesome to hang out with you and Dana! Looking forward to your wedding. :)

Tiffany and Joel's Wedding, Oxnard CA

Tiffany and Joel had a beach wedding in Oxnard, California. We shot photos at the Port Hueneme Pier, and they had their reception at the top floor of the Crowne Plaza in Ventura. Talk about a view - they had a bird's eye vantage of the beach for their entire reception. Awesome. The weather was perfect for photos, too.

Great hanging out with you guys! Enjoy married life. :)

Becky and Justin's Wedding, Fresno CA

Becky and Justin got married at the Fresno County Sportsmen's Club, which is a rad venue. There are lots of trees, a river, a dock, all the cool summer-ish stuff that a person could want. It was a super nice day, and everything was really just about perfect.















Now that he's successfully married, Justin is turning his attention towards learning how to do gang signs. He's working on it. Believe it or not, this is progress:























Justin decided to do some LARP'ing while he waited in a backroom until Becky wasn't around. ;)





























































You know Justin had a good time, because his shoe was destroyed by the end of the night. :)
