Christina and Mead . San Luis Obispo

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.
