laura and michael live in georgia. everyone knows that if you live in georgia, the best place to get married is in ballard, california. it is just the thing to do. lucky for me.

i got to shoot tanya and eric at the biltmore in santa barbara. it was fantastic.

i’ve spent a lot of time at that location over the years. that is if you count the hours sitting on the wall with friends eating burritos or sneaking in to go hot tubbing.

in the run up to tanya and eric’s wedding on may 17th i ran some recon with my family for a sunset burrito dinner much like the college days. all of this history and build-up had me very excited to shoot up tanya and eric. and let me tell you, there was no let down. the event was top notch all the way. check out a few teaser pics while i finish up the larger edit.

edit:  the whole shootin’ match ain’t ready yet.  but you can see a slideshow here in the mean time.

keep in touch.

cathi and i went to a wedding mass a few weeks ago. it was fantastic. even though it was mostly in spanish, i could pick out some themes - it isn’t hard to figure out that they are talking about love and jesus and weddingy things. after mass, we went home and picked up the boys who joined us for the reception. the party was big, fun and loud.

how do you like that cell phone in the flower girl’s basket? go chivas!

leslie and philippe got married in kingsburg the day before easter. i had a great time photographing the day. there were lots of great, unique bits. both dads are preachers so they were both up there; they did their vows in french (leslie’s to philippe) and spanish (philippe’s to leslie); there was an easter egg hunt. all great fun.
