I second shot this wedding with LKC Photography. The wedding was great. It was held at the Clement in Monterey. The ceremony was overlooking the water, and the weather was perfect (it was quite crummy/rainy the week leading up). Well the pictures will tell you how awesome the wedding was. So here we go: =)

A preview of the awesome environment… and some of the deets:

A glimpse of the dresses…

The first look, awesome location.

An awesome orange wall, guess where! Stairwell =)

there’s the ceremony…

and there’s THE ceremony. =)

the reception… they even had an auntie teach line dancing with the bride and groom donning cowboy garb.

The cutest baby on the dance floor… cutest.

Man, my first Austin engagement… Actually it’s my first Texas engagement and will be subsequently my first Texas and Austin wedding in March. =) How freaking exciting. Amanda and Matt flew me out to Austin for a couple days to show me around town, have fun and of course, to take their engagement shots. haha. But honestly, the entire day that we went shooting all three things melded perfectly together. It didn’t really seem like work but also had a sense of seriousness in the day.

We drove all around Austin. From downtown hotels near 6th Street to many, many different kinds of parks (there’s the regular parks to the food trailer parks). I learned tons of interesting facts too. Did you know Whole Foods originated in Austin? Totally did not know that one of my favorite grocery stores started in TX.

Speaking of food, the grub in TX was RIDICULOUS. So good. I can’t wait to go back to Austin to shoot this amazing couple’s wedding, but also to grub it out. =) But enough talk, time for pictures!

Where else in the world are you going to find a longhorn couch in a 5 star hotel, which has won the “Five Diamonds Award” (Ocean’s Thirteen)? Yeah, no where but Austin.

In case you didn’t know where we were. hahaha. =P

Did I tell you how much I love shooting in parking lots? Yeah, one of my favorite locations regardless of what city we’re in.

There was TONS of green and forest-y areas in Austin. I thought TX was all desert. My bad. =P

This was an awesome wedding to be at. It was held at Andrew’s parent’s backyard in the hills. The environment was intimate: live band, organic catering, amazing California weather, beautiful Hawaiian florals. What more could you ask for? Here are the pictures!

Details, there were so many i couldn’t choose… you can tell by the number of ring shots:

hey readers! It’s been a while since I last blogged. Sorry about that!

Anyway… This is my friend Alex. About 8 months ago, she started her own etsy shop (Purl One Knit One or P.O.K.O.). I shot her fall line a while back and she wanted to do a refresh featuring her new items for winter! Well here it is! The prices are pretty cheap too! so if you think the items are cute, go check out her etsy store and purchase it! =)
