San Luis Obispo

So, being from California, I feel that we know a lot of people in the state, regardless of how far away apart. Maybe it’s a Bay Area - LA thing, but it seems that after high school, (which was almost 10 years ago for me, and that’s crazy to think about) everyone you know from your hometown moves and goes to college around the state, but inevitably you run into someone you know at college, they know some other people at another college and you hang out. Next thing you know, your meeting up with everyone from your hometown and boom, now I get to photograph their wedding, we have a bunch of mutual friends at the wedding, its like a recipie for good times. But I LOVE IT! Not only is it an honor and a blessing to be asked by fellow classmates and hometown roots, but its exciting because I feel like I know more about the couple that I am working with.

Enter Katie and Andrew, Katie is news anchor in Bakersfield and Andrew is a paramedic and someday desiring to be a fireman. They had SO much fun together at the shoot day. Here is another example of a couple who just can be themselves and have fun. From swinging on the swings to running in the waves, they gave me a lot of material to shoot, 1768 images to be exact in 2 hours. I seem to be shooting more and more lately. But I love it. Their wedding is upcoming here in SLO in the fall and I am really amped for it. Thanks guys for making the drive out here.




These swing shots were awesome, i was swinging right next to them and got the camera blur, my shutter speed was @ 1/15th, iso @ 100, aperture @ 22. 16-35mm lens, Tv, shot 150, and 4 came out good. Thats exactly why i shoot so much.

Hey Mike, looks like a fun session. Love all the creative perspective work. Looks like you were having as much fun as they were.

Mike, It was great working with you. I am truly not a picture person, nor a smiler. However, your direction , combined with being in love with your style, brought it out of me. Have you considered taking retainers? I would be highly interested.

Sweet shots. Love the last one of the piggy-back on the beach. The focus fall off and blur makes it feel like a painting, it's great.

Mike,
It was so fun working with you. Andrew and I adore the pictures. It's hard to choose just one for our reception signature board. Thanks again and we can't wait for the wedding in September!
