Matt & Megan Engagement | Downtown San Luis Obispo Mission, California

Matt & Megan took a break from their busy schedule this week to do some gorgeous pictures at the Mission Church in downtown San Luis Obispo. The light was just perfect and of course they were easy to shoot. We are blessed to live in a beautiful area and these pictures don't do it half the glory it should have!

We hope you love them as much as we did...











We don't normally bring our baby but Grandma was very tired so she went along with us and kept pretty quiet in exchange for a frozen yogurt. However, she got a little crazy at the end and just started climbing stuff and happened to get into one of the pics...



thanks for looking...

Tyger & Bobby | Big Sur

So, we drove and drove and finally made it to the secret spot, and it was well worth it, except for the big freaking rock I had to climb! heh, well we made it thanks to Bobby's climbing help and all is well with tempting weddings!

Cindy & Marshall Engagement | Santa Barbara, California

We had a long and fun day shooting with Cindy and Marshall in Santa Barbara. It started out at the zoo and didn't end until we we had dinner at AJ Spurs (which rocks BTW - the steak is pretty incredible!). We even went to the Chumash Casino that night and teresa won some cash on Nickel slot machines. Of course, I managed to lose it all on $5.00 slot machines 15 minutes later, but at least we ended with the same amount we started with =)

Anyways, here are pics... it was a long day but they came out very nice

Katie & Adam Engagement | Montana De Oro, California

Hope you love the pics as much as we did.
