Greer and Joel were my 7-7-07 couple. The Fuller residence, nestled within the rolling vineyards of Paso Robles was the site of this amazing wedding. Having shot here before I knew it was going to be a stellar event. Greer and Joel, who live in San Francisco were a pleasure to work with. Fun-loving, full of life and greatly in love.

I also had the pleasure of working with an all star cast of vendors. Ann Marquart, who’s wedding I actually shot here two years ago did the event coordinating, the catering was covered by Lisa Jones and Jim Subject and crew from Cahoots Catering, Kathy Bach from All About Tabletops did the reception design, Eileen Hobbs and Laurel White from Adornments did the floral design, Christy Wilkinson from Morning Star Creations did the cake, Gy Ryder was the DJ. and Ken Wagner did the lighting design.

Anywho… here a few from my selection of favorites. Enjoy.

Nicole and Matt were married at the Cambria Pines Lodge in Cambria, a favorite North Coast venue of mine. Even though they live in the OC, Nicole and Matt have always considered Cambria as the special place for them. I think they did well.

As you can see, Nicole was not only a beautiful bride but also graced with an amazing floral arrangement created by Laurel and Eileen Hobbs of Adornments.

Adornments also took over the Lodge with a colorful display for the Gazebo that even had hanging crystal.

Matt didn’t hold back on Nicole’s diamond.

I had the opportunity to photograph Steve and Mickey’s wedding two years ago at Chapel Hill in Shandon. They have a cute addition to their family named Regan. Even though I don’t do a ton of family portraits I was honored to have done their wedding and now their family. Quite a cute one – I must say.

Christina and Mead went all out for their wedding that started out with Christina and the ladies getting ready at the Avila Lighthouse Suites in Avila Beach, then off to the Ceremony at the Mission in San Luis Obispo.

After the Ceremony we headed off to the beautiful Tolosa Winery in Edna Valley. We also stumbled upon the most incredible field of Lavender, see below, that made for a colorful backdrop for pictures. From there we went to Port San Luis Beach for some shots of the wedding party having fun on the beach. And that was all before the Reception even started at the Avila Bay Resort. All in all, Jeannie and I enjoyed all the fun locations and Christina and Mead’s adventurous spirit.

Christina has the most incredible eyes… fun to photograph.

Having fun with Mead while he keeps an eye on the time … just to make sure everything is on track.

Even though I usually prefer outdoor Ceremony locations, the Mission seems to always play host to a sweet, golden light in the afternoon. A great time to ditch the flash and go natural.

The glorious Lavender fields at the Tolosa Vineyard.

Seems like I have had more beach weddings than ever this year. Almost every time we hit the beach something fun happens. Here we see our lovely bride having a few laughs with the resident Lifeguard at Port San Luis…he was all too happy to join in on the fun.

Christina had several of her relatives and friends from New York at the wedding. They were some of the most fun-loving people I have ever photographed at a wedding. Non stop dancing, singing and full on joy … so much fun to photograph. The tent at the Avila Beach Resort … seen below under a big, blue sky.
