San Francisco | Love in the City

 
Erica & Joe ….
BIg Giant’s fans. Even bigger lover’s of fun!

I always say no two people are the same.
And these two are setting the standard for distinction.
Can I say that?
Yes, yes I can.
These two are like nobody I’ve ever met.

Erica is a generational fan. I heard her mention her dad on numerous occasions as she and Joe toured the stadium.
While we were certainly there for an engagement shoot, I was definitely the visiting team.

We thought Golden Gate Park would be less crowded.
After all, it was mid-week.
Seems like everyone had the day off… and the same idea.
Nevertheless, my favorite park still gave us room to stretch out with little hideaways.
It was a gorgeous day.

Erica and Joe found each other and fell in love quickly. Erica says that Joe is perfect “for her”.
I have this feeling that he is no less enamored.
They are already a wonderfully blended family, enjoying life with their little minor leaguer.

That’s a big time part of who they are as well.
You could say, they have home field advantage!

Lompoc Engagement | Wendy & Garrett | John Patrick Images

Giggle, laugh and love.
Three words that describe Wendy very well.
Although Garrett is on the serious side, don’t let his military demeanor fool you.
He’s all fun and games too.

What a couple.
They beam when there together and it makes you smile.

Infectious … in a good way.

Wendy met Garrett on July 4th …. “in a bar”
In what was a dry town way back in the late 1800′s
The local gals back then actually took a rope and pulled a booze filled building right off it’s foundation.
I guess the girls from this town get what they want.

These two love birds have planned an intimate ceremony in nearby Los Alamos.
A perfect ranch setting that captures their uniqueness perfectly.
I can’t wait to be with them on their day.

But for now, the time I had with them in Lompoc’s Purisma Mission will have to do.
Like love, Lompoc is a sweet little gem that once you’ve found it, you hang on.

Wendy and Garrett are holding on tight!

Monterey Wedding Photographer | John Patrick Images

 
It’s not everyday you meet a Moroccan princess.

Well OK, so Laila isn’t actually royalty but in the heart of her soon to be American husband Brent, she is all that and more!
Nobody however, can deny that they are adorable.
The pictures speak for themselves – although born thousands of miles apart, they were meant to be together.

We had so much fun exploring Canary Row and the pier plus making people take notice.
They are that good looking!

Monterey is one of their all time favorite places to be together.
Bay area residents, fun loving pair and crazy about one another.
They could be poster kids for all that is wholesome and good in the world.

I dig ‘em, hope you love their shoot as much as we did.

SALOME | Amazing concert at the PAC

 

Last night was incredible.

The musicianship of the Salome Chamber Ensemble is remarkable.  Led by soloist David Aaron Carpenter, the ensemble is not to be missed.  I enjoyed Mr. Carpenter and his sister Lauren Sarah Carpenter trading off licks (not a correct term in the classical world – sorry).  Two very accomplished virtuosos indeed.  Each member is amazing.  With violist Molly Carr, cellist Hiro Matsuo, bassist Yanni Burton and brother Sean Avram Carpenter rounding out the ensemble, “these cats can really groove”.

I’m a mutt musician compared to these talented folks, but I really enjoyed the passion with which they performed.  Meeting them backstage, you could stil feel the energy of their performance.  It was an intense meeting for me and photographing them was a delight.

The Foundation for the Performing Arts Center honored Mr. Jim Jamieson.  Mr. Jamieson became the founding executive director of the Foundation in 1987 and was instrumental in raising the funds and leading the charge for the building of our beloved PAC.

The FPAC also celebrated their partnership with the CIty of San Luis Obispo and the California Polytechnic State University. Both Mayor Jan Marx and Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong were speakers and assured the attendees of the city and college’s continued support.

It was an incredible afternoon of inspiring speeches, celebrations and music.
The Performing Arts Center is an amazing venue with world class performances of all kinds.
