Joe & Chelsea: Engagement Session

Meet Joe & Chelsea. I think the word FUN really describes their session well. They're big day is in November and yours truly get to be there to photograph it. Truly in love and made for each other.

This great couple opted to go to Santa Cruz to have their engagement session. We started at the park and made our way to the Boardwalk in the evening. And the skateboard shot.....kinda random, I know. We were killing time to get the right lighting and came up with this.

Did some different post processing on this set then my usual. I did some vintage stuff on some of the Boardwalk scenes. I think it feels nostalgic and retro. I dug it a lot.

Stay tuned, I have 4 weddings and 2 other engagement session along with some other stuff I've got cookin'. Feel free to drop the awesome couple a congrats while your here. Take care and enjoy the shots.

Fourth of July card

A little late I know, but I didn't want to take away any thunder the Royer's had with showing these off first. Previously, I had never made a July 4th card. I though it came out rather nice actually. They ended up being 5x7 front and back cards mailed to family.

So now I can add this to the things Sam can do/has accomplished.

Jimmy & Jessica's Wedding

Jimmy and Jessica's wedding was loads of fun, (scroll down to the end and you'll see why). Really fun folks and and even funner bridal party. Some serious memories were made.

The wedding was in Albuquerque NM. My first time there as was many others but it was home for Jessica. Seemed fitting to have it there now that she is here in San Jose. I sure you all in NM miss her and she misses you :(

Jimmy and Jessica, graciously took the entire wedding party to a "carts and golf" type place to spend the rest of the evening. What better way to spend some last good byes then at the race track. Best part o the entire shoot was when the bridal party got in the bumper boats and realized ONLY when they were strapped in that the boats came equipped with water guns. Ahahaha, made for the killer shots. The last shot was in the ultra violet light room when.

Thanks again Jared for coming along for the ride. You always help man. Sonic burger at 2:00 a.m. each night was not very ideal. Sorry I snored too. Dude threw a pillow at me each night.
Enjoy the shots guys.
