Molly + Laurence are getting married today!

Jaime + Jason | Pt 16, Big Sur

Last Saturday Jaime & Jason tied the knot. Despite the threatening clouds and possible rain their wedding was awesome to say the least! Perfect details, perfect weather, for a perfect couple. Seldom do I meet people who place such a high value on 80's music as myself, needless to say, I was pleased with the musical selection when it came time to boogie-down! Complete with roasting marsh mellows, puffin' on a cigar and sipping espresso, Jaime and Jason know how to throw a party! Congratulations you guys! allyson

Best buddies | San Simeon

If you live on the Central Coast, you might have heard about the recent bike ride / fund raiser, Best Buddies. My good friend, Camilla Burns, was put in charge of the event design for the VIP party up at the hill-top after the bbq down at the dairy ranch. She asked to me come up and shoot this amazing display of her talent and the posh surroundings. The evening was perfect, weather and light wise and the ambient lighting was awesome! Classic provided the rentals.

I wish I had stuck around a little bit longer because just as I was heading down the hill, I was passed by several quick & very black cars - which whisked the Governor and his wife, Maria Shriver up the hill!

The riders raised over $3 Million dollars for the Best Buddies organization!

Senior Sessions

It's the "back to school" time of year and we've been snapping up seniors. I thought I'd share a few with you, so here are a couple of gals - Ellie & Heather. They happen to be good friends and I took both of their senior photos. Good stuff! Have a great week! allyson

Jaime + Jason | Ft Hunter Liggett

Jaime & Jason are ready to get married - in just one short week at Point 16 Big Sur! We hung out in 100+ degree weather and shot these engagement photos. They were real sports - especially Jason when it came to wearing a sport coat! San Antonio Mission is an awesome spot for photos located between Paso & Monterey.
The first wedding ceremony in California took place at San Antonio Mission in 1773!
