Engagement session appointment, take two…

Katie, Anthony, and I have been dodging the ridiculous Spring winds of the Central Coast for a while now.  However, we finally found a window of time last Friday to get outside and grab some shots of these two lovebirds before the next gale force winds blow through our area.  With Bachi the wonder dog in tow, we met up for what was to be a rad photo shoot (that’s right, I’m going to bring “rad” back).  We blasted through a variety of spots throughout San Luis Obispo, and at each one, it was obvious these two monkeys were ready for anything.  There was plenty of laughing, kissing, and joking going on (note: I was not kissing anyone but buckwheat, thank you).  Overall, Katie and Anthony were truly cool to hang with.  Take home message:  If your reading this and you don’t get a wedding invitation from these two people, you might want to either befriending this couple in a hurry, or consider crashing their wedding because I’m guaranteeing it is going to insane!

Another successful central coast wedding with Keith Dunlop (www.kdiphoto.com).  Greg and Holly tied the knot in Morro Bay last weekend, but not until Greg and his buddies went through some rounds at the local shooting range.  As second shooter (no pun intended), Keith anointed me with the job of meeting the boys at the shooting range and getting some photos of them before the wedding.  I had to convince Keith that if he had any doubts, he should know that I’m the right guy for the job; having been to the shooting range several times and being a gun owner, as well.  I think Keith may have been even a little shocked when I asked him if I could bring the Glock along with my camera gear.

In celebration of the Pisces – Ara and Lorily, we headed up to Plaskett Creek with a “rain or shine” attitude this last weekend.  The waves weren’t all that great, but the camping and the beach time was epic.  At around 1 p.m. the tide was at approximately a -0.4.  Although it had some small effect on the already meager surf conditions, it had a more profound effect on the coastline, leaving us this sweet natural pool area surrounding a large rock along the coast.  Believe it or not, the water to the far left is probably 1 foot deep, and then it sharply declines to approximately 10 feet around the boulder.  The photo above is a pic of Scott Kam and Greg Cherry cutting loose like flying ninjas.
