Lovely couple married at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum
The backdrops at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum are perfect for your big day, a photographers delight.
Love Santa Margarita Ranch ...
So many interesting places for pictures at the Ranch. Lovely couple doing my variation of the 'dip'.
Yes she is beautiful, ready for her big day.
Love the mirror shot with all the Bridesmaids giving their approval. If there is a large mirror I will always try and capture this shot.
Terra Mia outside Paso Robles ....
One of my favorite venues .... lovely setting and the night time ambiance with all the mood lighting is incredible.
A macro shot of the rings. Taken at Allegretto Resort
Love capturing details, especially the rings ... it is a challenge to find that perfect angle/lighting but when you do it's magical.
An intimate moment on the dance floor.
Doesn't get much better for me .... catching that candid moment when they gaze into each other's eyes.
Spanish Garden Inn
This is one of their suites and the balcony with the big doors made for a stunning setting for a special shot. She looks happy!
Santa Margarita Ranch
The old homestead at the ranch is lovely to shoot romantic wedding pictures, this picture was taken on the front lawn.
Smile everyone!
When you don't have a big mirror you do the next best thing ... Stunning bride, lovely bridesmaid dresses.
Camp Pendleton Wedding
The first dance and what a dramatic one it was! Love using off-camera flash to get great lighting for those special dances.

What did the groom just say?
I told the Groom to whisper into his Bride's ear how many children he wanted .... love giving little suggestions and capturing the candid response.

The church 'dip'
One of my favorite captures .... who knew you could do a dip in the Mission. Love how the Priest smiles and applauds giving his approval.
Lovely couple - golden hour light
Even when you don't have a stunning sunset you can capture the lovely golden hour light. The sun at this time of day gives wonderful rim lighting on the Bride and Groom.
Dancing into the night
Capturing the night from the bands perspective .... the lighting was perfect with the ambient overhead lights and my off-camera flash units lighting up the dance floor.
The Classic 'dip'
Taken in the tunnel at the Allegretto Resort in Paso Robles. Perfect setup for a silhouette. The Allegretto has several areas for taken beautiful wedding pictures.

A classic ring shot ...
This is old school wedding photography ... taken at a wedding reception in Oceano.
The gaze ...
The Bride loved the old door behind them so I made sure we took a few pictures. A bit of direction and the perfect 'gaze' picture.
Santa Margarita Ranch
Another beautiful picture taken on the porch at the old homestead at Santa Margarita Ranch. Such a lovely couple .... we had a great time at the reception :)
Picture perfect!
Taken at a private residence in Oceano. I remember the flowers at this wedding ... you can see the trellis in the background, covered with flowers including the platform ... never seen so many flowers at a wedding.
Tiber Canyon Ranch
One of my first weddings for photography but such a lovely couple and her eyes captured the moment. Tiber Canyon Ranch is a lovely setting ... if you like rural settings this is a must see.
Monarch Dunes / Trilogy
Love military weddings, so classy!
Rings and roses ...
Love the feminine diamond ring and the the masculinity of the large band ... roses always goes well with rings.
First dance laughter .... she got her man!
As I've mentioned before I love shooting off-camera flash to capture dramatic lighting effects ....

Taken at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum during the reception in the courtyard. Had the B&G climb up on the fountain rim and took the shot. I wanted a great destination shot and this was perfect! You can see how the off-camera flash really adds to the dramatic lighting. I own 5 flash units ....
