We caught gorgeous weather earlier in May for Jennifer and Gino’s engagement shoot. My new favorite couple have an Oct 1, 2011 wedding planned at the beautiful Holly Farm in Carmel. For this day however, Pt Lobos and Monestary Beach were the background for SWEET romance and fun in the sun.









Such a delightful evening and as you can see, the backlight framed their love perfectly. Cant wait for your wedding day Jennifer and Gino. It will be smashing!

Oh man did Jennifer and Kevin get lucky!! Wouldnt you know, they scheduled their wedding on day 15 of latest installment of THE Calif central coast’s spring rain marathon. Mucho rain in the morning…..But by mid afternoon the sun was out and it was party time!

I brought umbrellas and rain gear…just in case. But the sun was smiling (if not on the whole day, the afternoon at least).

Absolutely stunning flowers from Amanda at Laughin’ Gal Floral were the perfect addition to the day, confirming the news: Spring is here!!…even if it WAS winter this morning!

Jennifer looked amazing, like she stepped right out of a bridal magazine. She and Kevin were beaming as they said ‘Yes I DO’ to eachother.

Five Star Catering served a sumptuous meal. Their presentation and attention to detail was flawless and a great treat for everyone.

Well done Jennifer and Kevin…you did it and yahoo for sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLICK HERE to see their fabulous slideshow.

Peachwoods Santa Cruz was the site of Meghan and Victor’s very stylish and fun July Wedding.
The wedding colors were chartreuse (for lack of a better description) and purple with lots of fabulous lite green orchids and deep purple calla lilies. Meghan worn these to-die-for shoes at the reception.
Not sure which came first….the shoes or the choice of colors. I can see planning an entire wedding around these shoes. CAN’T YOU?

The Ladies looked amazing…..



A true Santa Cruz destination wedding - Meghan and Victor live outside Manhattan, I talked to folks from Georgia as well as California’s central valley. One thing everyone agreed on — they All LOVED the cooler Santa Cruz weather…cuz it is HOT this summer where they live.

Peachwoods did a great job as always - providing the beautiful setting. The Flowers by Laura Sweeley of Sweeley’s Design Shop were abundant and amazing.
It was a wonderful evening……and I heard something about a Paris honeymoon!! Well Done Meghan and Victor!!

The Presidio Golf Course and Club House, San Francisco was the site of Jessica and Michael’s amazing June 26 wedding !!

Even the chilly SF fog couldn’t put a dent in the romance. These bride shots were near the Laurel Inn, Presidio at California.

Looks like a partly sunny day, no? …it was actually a very grey sky (photoshop magic) and these guys were freezing their tushies off, well Jessica was anyway. What a trooper!! You’d never know she was freezing…Of course, the love in Michael’s eyes no doubt warmed her right up!
Ahhhwww…I know, corny right? Well ya cant be a wedding photographer and not be a corny romantic.


Once again, freezing but still smiling!! My assistant and I worked quickly to get the after ceremony family portraits, the wedding party pics and finally the couple portraits…then inside for a warm, music and fun filled reception. The food was amazing, wine plentiful and the DJ kept everyone movin! Rockin Good Time at The Presidio Golf Course and Club House!!

Congratulations Jessica and Michael. WELL DONE!!
