San Luis Obispo Wedding photography, Portrait Photography, Event Photography, Templeton Ca,
This past year has gone by so quick …
I typically get some extended down time to gear up, rest up and just catch up.
I was too thrilled to be able to start 2012′s wedding season on January first – New Years Day
And in Big Sur …
Here is a quick peek at how incredible I think 2012 will be.

These are STUNNING!
Big siiiigh… the scene is so serene… I want to step into it.
Those middle images are absolutely lovely.. here’s to a beautiful 2012!
So gorgeous! I especially love that one where they are sitting there in the woods. Beautiful!
That last one of her looking back is epic!
These look amazing. I love this. I cannot wait till 2012.
Oh, how awesome, I love that area. I’ll be waiting for the full post!
So beautiful. That first frame is so surreal.
Sure, I’ll go to Big Sur if you bring your camera. Gorgeous light. Here’s to a fab twentytwelve!
Beautiful place and I love the last frame!
awesome light!
The best part of ANY wedding is getting to know incredible people and participating in one of the most amazing moments of their lives.
It’s truly awesome.
Sometimes, I end up in some awesome places as well.
Someone has to do it.
Erica and Ed are your classic California couple but have a deep connection to the islands.
Ed’s Mom and dad had settled in Kona, so it was a natural location for their nuptials.
For three days we hung out, took amazing pictures and had the time of our lives. Well, they had the time of their lives.
I tagged along for the time of my life… their friends are completely, insanely fun people.
Well, enough said for now (I’ll edit this later when I’m feeling inspired …),
Here is “some” of the evidence of what happens when your absent from home.

Wow what an amazing wedding! Nicely documented.
Kona looks dreamy! Love the one of the couple looking out to sea. And the fire dancing guys are awesome!
Looks like a REALLY fun wedding!!

Intersting to see a wedding in Hawaii. Nice!
All of the fire dancing shots made my life. 
Great photos! Amazing visuals and colours! Congrats!
fire dancers!!! how awesome.
Superb work, John. These are incredible!
Fantastic work here…so many amazing images!! Well done!!!
It’s great to be busy, especially as a wedding photographer.
I mean, you get to use your talent, your expertise and hang out with great people on the most important day of their lives.
Plus you get to eat all that cake!
Sadly, for marketing purposes, it’s very important for me to blog. Not my favorite thing to do … market myself that is.
It’s a necessary evil. I like to blog and although I don’t claim to be a writer…
It IS fun.
These past three weeks have resulted in lot’s of images. Three amazing weddings, three amazing couples and too many favorites to make a decision on which images to post. I just can’t do it.
I’ve decided to post a few faves here that I have also posted on my Facebook page.
As a matter of fact, my Facebook page is usually more current although I don’t display nearly as many there as I do here.
I intend to update this page frequently (don’t hold your breathe) so check back often or “subscribe” to my Facebook change and you’ll automatically be informed on my postings. In the meantime, enjoy the images I’ve posted here but please visit my Facebook page and “like” it.
I’d like that!

When I first began photographing weddings I would wake up check, then recheck all my gear
it was my main concern
That nothing mechanical would go wrong.
I rarely thought about the couple until I actually started shooting.
As I progressed in confidence about equipment (I bought really great gear),
I started becoming more a visionary …
seeing those moments in my creative mind or at least planning them ahead of time.
Now my routine is to check batteries and stuff but I’ve spent a considerable amount of money on back up equipment …
so I don’t think too much about “those things”.
I really concentrate on getting to know my brides and their grooms
I want to capture who they are.
But that’s not enough, I also attend as many rehearsals as possible
not just to get the feel of the ceremony but to meet all those involved.
It pays off in the final prints.
Last night I watched as Jessica nearly “lost it”.
She is so happy marrying Ryan.
I captured a few quick smapshots and decided I’d share them.
Isn’t love something else?
I’m so glad when it sneaks up on us before we can plan for something else …
