dahlia season | san francisco photographer



we have been trying to learn more about our new home, so a few weeks ago, we bought bikes and decided to try biking around the bay area. it seems like the thing to do here, so why not. last weekend, we headed out to golden gate park, which is like the central park of san francisco. so many trails and cool things to see and flower gardens all over the place. we stopped for a quick breather at the dahlia garden and i got these cool shots. the black and white one just might be my favorite...






we also road down to the beach and when we got there, we saw this sign -- needless to say we did not swim or wade in the water. and we thought we had it bad in sd with the pollution!

wedding: brittani and jon part II | san diego wedding photographer

welcome back to the wonderful wedding of brittani and jon. they held their ceremony overlooking the del mar beach, at seagrove park...



a few quick portraits of the california coastline...

after the ceremony, they got to ride in a very cool vintage car...

and then it was on to rancho santa fe country club for the reception...

after the obligatory poses by the vintage car, we headed out to the greens for some amazing sunset pictures, absolutely gorgeous



the reception was full of intimate and funny toasts, a live barbershop quartet serenading the guests and lots of dancing excitement...


and then for the fun dancing...


all of brittani's sorority sisters sang a very naughty song at the end of the night, they look so sweet here...


brittani and jon, congratulations on a wonderful wedding and we wish you a lifetime of happiness. and we hope you'll come visit us up in the bay area soon!
