How do we not pick favorites?
Judy & Kris are one of those couples who have an “underground” kind of flame. Oh, don’t misundestand me, they are passionate about each other, they just don’t show it off. You have to watch them – closely.
Lucky me. I get to chase them around all day hiding behind my camera. After a while, they forgot about me and just were themselves with each other. Really beautiful people. I would love for you to view their day. Here is the show.
The Country Club in San Luis Obispo is a spectacular venue. I can’t imagine the place being “in need” of business so if you have a chance to clintch a date with them, don’t hesitate. They handled everything and the staff were very helpful. Just don’t wear heels on the greens! Or set up your ladder.
I had the pleasure of meeting and dining with Paul Thompson of Escape Entertainment. Paul is a killer DJ. He came prepared and was one of the most professional professionals I’ve worked with. If you want someone who can have multiple set ups in multiple locations, Paul is your man. With top notch gear and an “easy to work with” attitude, Paul can be a great addition to your next event.
August 8th was a tough day. For some unknown reason I just had a hard time getting into gear. That all changed once the wedding party arrived. Judy and her bridesmaids were so fun and Judy was just amazing. Having a gorgeous dress doesn’t hurt. But Judy was truly glamorous and saying Judy was statuesque misses the mark by about a … foot! I forgot that she is 6′ tall.
We had a great event and the multicultural aspect made it all that much more special. A huge thanks to Judy’s cousin Allan who made the formals easy AND fun! Kris & Judy’s good pal Joe performed a very personal and well crafted ceremony. It was more than just words. It was inspiring.
Congratulations you guys!

OMGosh!
Where do I begin … These two cuddle bugs are such GOOD people first and foremost. Photographing them is so much fun and they are so easy to work with. Kindra is actually sort-of-shy. But fortunately for me, she get’s lost in Pete and the results are so charming.
I need to introduce you to Debbie Duggan of Central Coast Culinary in San Luis Obispo. I am always amazed when a caterer remembers us lowly wedding photographers and provides us with a plate. I have had some pretty wonderful food experience but as of this writing, Debbie has just raised the bar. Good luck catching up is all I have to say.
Kindra & Pete had a very intimate family gathering at their home in Atascadero. The weather was perfect and the atmosphere was relaxed, casual and fun. I hooked up with Pete and the family at the Carlton Hotel for some “hang time” so Kindra could get things ready at home. This is such a cool family. I actually loaned some of my prized batteries to Pete’s step dad. Who is a cool D80 user. We Nikon shooters are a close fraternity!
As I said, Kindra is shy and really doesn’t like being the center of attention. Consequently, I didn’t get any before shots of her – what a rip! Someday, I’ll coerce her into a bridal shoot – maybe. It doesn’t really matter because you can see how wonderful they are together. Thanks guys for a fantastic day and for the honor of being your photographer.
