Walter and Kara at Arroyo Trabucco

What a busy Labor Day weekend for me: I shot a wedding with a friend, Mario, all day Saturday, then an awesome wedding on Sunday- Kara and Walter- and a commercial shoot at 7am on Monday for Consumer Reports Magazine.

Kara's wedding was a little warm but the beautiful venue, Arroyo Trabucco Golf Course, made-up for the heat! Everything fell into place perfectly: Right before the portraits a thin cloud covered the sun to soften it just a little, did I say the location was cool (?), then, after the ceremony the sun came out again just before it set so we got some killer low sunshine- what else could you ask for?? Great subjects? Yep, got that too!

Walter and Kara are friends with other wedding clients of mine- Jean and Rob- who are getting married at the end of the month. It was great seeing them at the wedding and seeing Rob with his digital SLR- shooting away with the other 20 or so photographer guests- I love it! Jean says it's going to be tough for me to impress her with her wedding photos after seeing how great the images were from Walter and Kara's (I played my slideshow on my new 30 inch Apple HD Display)!! Little does she know that every next wedding is better than the last wedding- It just happens that way as I am always after the next cool shot!!

Thanks for the good light God!Another cool aerial shot:And, the camera-in-the-bushes shot:This was under the pergola- so cool with vines all over it. The grounds were great- especially to a plant freak like me!What troopers! All these lovely people jumped the horse fence to get to this trail... even the bride!See their slideshow HERE.

I met some cool vendors for the first time too:
