Two weeks ago, I got the opportunity to shoot with Colin Michael from San louis Obispo. I met him a few years ago back at a photographer convention that was actually held in his town. Since that time Colin has become a great friend and one of the coolest photographers to not only shoot with, but to learn from. His work is so clean and simple and stylish, you can't help but be drawn to his work. I drove down on friday night and stayed at his house to get ready for the next day shooting Ashley and Brandt's Wedding at Robert Hall Winery. The Wedding was spectacular and there was so much love that surrounded Ashley and Brandt. Colin, thank you again for letting me shoot with you again. Your family and hospitality was so appreciated.
One of the best smiles ever.
Love the first look every time!!!!
One of my favorite shots of the day.
Before the big kiss.
Love that!!!!!!!
After the kiss, the bridesmaids and groomsmens had planned out gestures once they kissed. So loved that!!

A little over a week ago, we went to Glenn Ellen, in the wine country to go photograph Jeffrey & Andi's Wedding at the Jack London Lodge. This place was very cool, simple, and sophisticated. Now if you don't remember Jeffrey & Andi from their engagement session they were a fun couple that are trully in love with each other and love to have fun, and that showed on their wedding day. The day was beautiful, and a tad hot but that didnt effect the day nor Jeffrey and Andi one bit. Their ceremony was very simple and stylish, with bursts of green and orange and yellow. Now this wedding I really enjoyed cause it wasn't too big and that made the day even more intimate for them and the families. You got a sense of excitement in the air, and happiness and it showed. This ceremony was so emotional. Tears of joy and happiness were flowing from both sides of the families and when the parents came up to bless the rings, it was trully a awesome moment. The whole day was amazing and I was blessed to have been there with Jen shooting the wedding. Jeffrey and Andi, we hope you guys enjoy this teaser from your wedding, and enjoy your honeymoon. We can't wait to show you the rest from your special day. The Bling!!!
I WANT THIS SHIRT!!!
Gorgeous dress!!!
The grooms accessories for the special day!!!
I loved these next 2 shots. Andi was going to her room to get ready and peaked in where Jeffrey was and gave him a quick kiss. So cute!!
Such a proud Mom!!!
First Look.
Love that!!
So one of the many reasons we loved Jeffrey & Andi is that they wanted to do something different with their wedding pictures and...............well.................WE LOVE IT!!!!
So beautiful!!!!
Right before the ceremony started, Andi & her mom were talking and hugged. I love my job!!!
The Decor was so cool. I loved the burst of color all around. PLus what a great idea for table setting then with a simple green apple, and the leaves in the stem having their name on it. So cool!!!
Love that shot!!
Happy Family!!!
It was a tad hot that day. Love this moment though.
Blessing of the rings.
Such Happy Parents.
Love that!!
Jens View of the kiss.
My View.
After the ceremony was over, Jeffrey's mom came up to him and they walked together. Like I said I love my job!!!
First Dance.
Father/Daughter Dance. Love that shot of him singing.
Mother/Son Dance.
Dance time. I think MJ was in the house in spirit.
Before the night ended, Jen got this, you know it's a good party when the bride kicks off her heals and par- tays! HOLY COW cool shot!!!
We love what we do!!!

Last Weekend Jen and I drove up to Lake Almanor to the town of Chester to meet up with Dustin & Jordan, and photograph their beautiful wedding. Talk about a great town that has the look and feel of Tahoe, BUT BETTER!!! ( In my opinion) :) We drove up Friday evening and stayed at this really cool Bed and Breakfast called The Bidwell House. Talk about a cozy place, and the breakfast was OUTSTANDING. 3 course breakfast every morning was OK with me!! Saturday came and Jen and I got ready to go. Jen met up with Jordan right across the way from where we were staying. I went and met the guys at a cabin right by the lake. The wedding party met at this really cool, old, rundown barn that was HUGE, and made for great shots outside.................and inside. Once we got inside it was amazing!!! Old wood that was exposed to the elements had aged the wood to have a unique look. I told Dustin "Dude you should have got married here". It was tons of fun there that I dodnt want to leave the area, but we kinda had to cause DUH their not getting married at the barn. ( but they should have, in my opinion of course) This wedding was flawless from beginning to end as we had plenty of time to get the shots we needed, and even had time to go back to the babin with the wedding party and chill and chat with them. Good times, Good times!! As the day went well, it was also a emotional day for Dustin and his family. Such emotion flowed from them, as there were times when he was getting his jacket on and his mom came into the room and just was filled with joy and happiness seeing her son getting married, to another time with Dustin, his mom and dad exchanging little gifts before the ceremony, and seeing all of them with tears in their eyes, it almost made me want to tear up. The ceremony was simple, and beautiful. What can i say except we had tons of fun shooting their wedding. Dustin and Jordan enjoy your teaser from your wedding. We can't wait to show the rest to you.
The dress was stunning.
Love this shot of his mom tying his tie for him and just smiling with happiness.
Love the ring shot Jen got.
So remember that old rundown barn I was telling you all about? BAMMMMMMM!
First Meet!!
LOVE..................THIS...................BARN!!!!
Dustin's Sister came up to him and once she saw him, the tears of joy started flowin.
