8/8/08 Wedding : The Perfect Day

Beach weddings in Santa Cruz during the summer are often cold and foggy. Who said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco?" Well, Santa Cruz is just down the road...

On this wedding day, 8/8/08, we had perfect weather. Not only was the weather perfect, but this was one of the loveliest weddings in which I've been honored to participate. The couple were charming, location gorgeous, amazing light, fun friends and family... it truly came together as a perfect day. Here are some of the moments:

It's been a hectic few months, and I really have not kept up with my blog very well. So, in one giant post, I'll bring you up to date on the highlights of recent maginei activity.

Family Time
I've had the pleasure of photographing a number of families both in the studio and on location. Here are some of my favorite images from these family photo shoots:

Food photography is an entirely different beast from people, and I'm not sure which is more complicated. The technical detail needed to make meat and other food items look realistic and appetizing is quite the challenge!
