Cole and Steve

we were just planning on a relaxing weekend north of the busyness of orange county, when our wonderful hotelier let us know that she had recently been engaged and was planning a wedding at the dana powers house on the central coast.

a few weeks later, cole dropped us a line asking us to photograph her wedding. we couldn't have been more thrilled.

cole & steve are two of the most genuine people we have come across, and are a lot of why carlie & i have fallen in love with slo and the rest of the central coast. the air just seems to move a bit slower. people seem a little more worn around the edges, but in a good way... kinda like the way a pair of boots feel after you have broken them in a bit. kinda like the way hi-end fashion brands might sell a pair of jeans with a frayed back pocket.

slo is comfy.

thank you cole & steve for being so cordial, on our visit for your engagement shoot, and again on the weekend of your wedding. both carlie & i truly feel blessed to have been at your wedding. it was intimate. it was genuine. it was perfect.

Rock the Booth

we just had to try it ourselves. it looked like too much fun not to...

being inspired by our new friends, the kaisers of the image is found, we linked up with our other friends & fellow photogs, amy & aaron of ahs photography for the wedding of the century... no... seriously.

ashley had every detail planned, save one desire: to have a photo booth at her wedding. again, having been inspired by our friends, and longing to have a go at it to see if it was something we wanted to offer our own clients, we were fortunate enough to have ashley & jeff be our guinea pigs.

enjoy the habitrail of images that resulted.

Some Gabriel Lyon Please

the photo-baby of ninja jeff newsom... we bring you gabriel lyon.


though we were not quite sure where the 11th member of our tour had been hiding, i guess he [gabriel lyon] had posted a link to mammothmen.com on his blog which is how this blog reader found the journal of our travels. here is the direct quote:

[June 24, 2008] April Feldt said: I am so glad that I found this blog through Gabriel Lyon's blog. You all are hilarious and I find myself checking back throughout the day for the newest antics.
