Heather + Brian got married in the lush setting of Cambria Pines Lodge, 45 minutes north of San Luis Obispo. Heather and Brian are my wine-tasting buddies, so I have first-hand knowledge that they are a VERY CUTE couple (and putting it in ALL CAPS allows me, as a macho macho man, to declare such things in all seriousness).

These first photos are from the day before … Heather + Brian took family and friends to see the Hearst Castle, which will make any photographer drool. We snuck in a few portraits while touring one of the pools.

On the day, Heather got girlied up at the Bladerunner Salon & Day Spa in SLO, and they both got ready at the lodge.

Theirs was a very intimate wedding (only 60 guests!) in the gazebo garden. Their extra-furry ring bearer stole the show.

We made a mad dash through the gardens and then to the ocean for some portraits as the sun went down. The results turned out beautiful!

The party may have been intimate, but the festivities were fantastic!

Thank you, Heather + Brian, for the opportunity to photograph your celebration, and may you stay so darned, ahem, cute.

I want to show off my favorite image from Brian + Heather’s wedding yesterday. They had a very intimate celebration in Cambria, CA, among the gardens of the Cambria Pines Lodge. One of my favorite photos came from our quick jaunt to the ocean for portraits. When I scouted the area earlier that day, I saw an 80-year-old couple — he with a cigar and fedora, she with a floppy sun hat — on this log, and thought, “perfect!”  I’ll post more soon, when I’ve gone through all the images. But for now…

Heather + Brian, sittin' on a log

Don’t work too hard! It’s Labor Day!
