Last week I had the chance to spend an afternoon wandering the South Coast Botanical Garden getting to know Tony and Gloria, chatting with them about their wedding day and enjoying nature coming to life during our short California spring. I had a fantastic time with these two and we even made it down to the Manhattan Beach pier for a few twilight pictures before they treated me to sushi.
Thanks again you two and I’ll see you later this month for your wedding!

Corie & Kyle live in Northern California, and were one of the rare instances where we had never met the bride & groom before the wedding, not even a Skype call. We were very intrigued about meeting them, and when we did, we certainly wished we had gotten to know them sooner, because they are AWESOME!
They have such an amazing energy about them, and had us laughing all day long. We often find that friends & family are a very powerful reflection of who the couple is, and it was so great that Corie & Kyle’s wedding guests, whether relations or friends, were a genuinely fun, friendly, and warm bunch!
Their ceremony, which was officiated by a mutual friend and included friends & family speaking, was one of the most sincere, fun, and emotional ones we will remember for a long time to come.
When a wedding day involves discussions about Tesla and Grumpy Cat, and toasts include references to Tina Fey, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and space exploration, we know that Corie & Kyle are truly “our people”.
Congratulations Corie & Kyle! You guys rock and made it way too fun for us!

Last week I got a Facebook message from Randy (who I hiked the Lost Coast with in 2009) and he was coming into town and wanted to spend an afternoon taking some photos, hanging out and grabbing a beer. I was quick to accept and we met up down by Manhattan Beach pier and watch the sun drop in the sky. It’s a rare opportunity to get out and shoot for fun, without any deliverables, just me and a camera and plenty of time. I think this first picture in the post is my favorite, a 30 second exposure with me standing extra still as the tide comes in and out at my feet – totally cool.
I love watching the light change from the yellow of the sun on the horizon, to the milky pink of dusk and the purples of twilight just before the skies go black. The whole process takes about an hour and a half, but who can complain when you are sitting on a beach with your wife and good friends watching the sun drop.
After the sky went completely black, we found a mexican joint, drank those beers and ate way too much.
Good times.
