As I mentioned before, we’ve been anticipating this wedding for a few months and were so excited to finally get to document Pete and Kristen’s wedding!

To say the least, it was simply a beautiful day that went off perfectly!

Check out Cheryl stealing my shoot shot and NAILING it!!!

My buddy Cody text’d me last night asking me what I was doing at 5 a.m. today… My immediately reply - Sleeping!

Next thing you know, he’s got me convinced that I need to wake up 4 hours earlier than I normally wake up to take pictures of the “epic” surf we’re getting here in Santa Barbara. Well, let’s just say I had a blast! Here’s the images I narrowed down to! (I know… freaking 12 pictures… sorry lol)

Here’s Rincon at sunrise (yes… I was there BEFORE sunrise!)

I saw at least three surfers come in with broken boards (or even no board at all) during the few hours we were there. Crazyness!

YIKES!!! (mind you I don’t surf cause I’m afraid of 1′ waves… so this was unreal for me to watch! these guys are like super-heros!)

It looks like he’s falling… but as you see in the next pic, he totally pulls it off. (if he was on a bike we’d call this a table top maybe… I think in surfing it’s called shredding?)

I posted like 100 pictures to our print server that you can check out by clicking here.

Usually when I show up somewhere to shoot, I feel pretty good carrying my gear around and looking “professional”… not the case when shooting a world famous location where a million other photogs are sitting around with CRAZY long lenses… I was nothing but average and below average today :-(

If you happen to be one of the burly dudes in these pictures and you’d like a full-res file for yourself, drop me a line at tim@halbergphotographers.com and I’d glady hook you up!

Our photos from today were just featured over at santabarbarasurfing.com!

We’ve been anticipating Pete and Kristen’s wedding for some time now, and we were super excited to see both of them last week for their engagement pictures only two days before their wedding!

The timing of the light and our arrival at the beach made for some spectacular images with a ton of flare and nothing but smiles, laughter and some  kissing. I LOVE engagement shoots!! They are sooo fun!

Check out how much love and laughter there is between these two:

You can check out their engagement slideshow here.

Come back tomorrow to see their wedding images!
