In catching up on our recent weddings I just realized I need to add some photos of our trip up to Lake Tahoe to photograph another wedding (pictures coming shortly)
My buddy and fellow wedding photographer Doug Miranda took me for a ride on one of the famous trails in Tahoe, the Flume Trail. It was a blast getting out riding, but wow… that elevation and me not being in the best of shape sure made the first 3 miles of climbing a bit tougher for me than it should have been, but wow, was the climb ever worth the views we got!!!
I borrowed all of these pictures from Doug’s blog, so make sure to cruise over to his site and give him some love.
And of course, as I’m riding I feel like it’s only getting tougher and tougher until Doug points out that my back tire is flat (being new to full suspension, sometimes I don’t notice these things for a while….!)
Big thanks to my buddy Doug Miranda (who’s also an awesome wedding photographer) for referring Charles and Krista to us for their wedding photography. We had a blast with these guys and as always, the weather at their Southern California wedding was perfect for photography!
I think the phrase goes “better late than never” and that’s my theory on trying to catch up on all the weddings I haven’t had time to blog about recently. I believe I’m 5 or 6 weddings behind, so here goes the first of several posts.
Todd and Paige got married at a beautiful private estate in the hills of Newbury Park backing up to the Malibu Mountains. Paige’s date is a custom home builder and builds BEAUTIFUL homes. (I hope one day I can find a way to convince him to build one for me in trade for photoraphy) ;-) This home is one that Paige’s dad is just completing.
Jason Groupp is a SICK and crazy successful photog from Manhattan – New York! (yeah, he’s the legit thing) and Gene Higa is an amazing destination wedding photographer from San Francisco. (recently voted as one of the world’s top 10 wedding photographers – again, you could say he’s legit!)
Two stellar photogs coming together to present how they make their businesses work and then also a chance to go out with them to shoot around New York City! Seriously, if you are considering going to a workshop this year, or even if you aren’t, you should definitely make the effort to get out to this event! (not to mention I hear rumors of a SWEET party at Jason’s studio that you would likely be able to get VIP treatment to! – honestly, that’d be worth it all on it’s own, rubbing shoulders with the who’s who of weddings)
Ok, seriously, I’m not trying to hype this up, I truly respect both of these photographers as artists and businessmen. Definitely check out all the details on Jason’s blog.
Oh… and because you all like pictures, here’s a sweet pic of Jason (he’s ALWAYS smiling!) (I didn’t shoot this, found it on his blog)
I always have it in my head that I want to travel, but find myself finding excuses of why I can’t, my buddy Mark is always trying to tell me I just need to up and do it… and I think this video is the most inspiring thing I’ve seen recently that gives me the traveling bug:
