Keith and Shannon got married back in April in Paso Robles, CA at Pear Valley Vineyards.

Although the were getting ready for the wedding separately they chose to see each other before hand and do all their portraits before the wedding.

I *love love love* when couples choose to do a ‘First Look’ in private before the ceremony, rather than waiting til she is walking down the aisle to see each other. I think I’ll wait and do a special post on *WHY* this rocks my socks off…

In the meantime…. We were able to shoot all over the vineyard (thanks Pear Valley!) and started off the portraits with Keith and Shannon’s First Look!

(thanks to my second shooter Maggie for helping me cover this awesome day)

More images to come!

This couple’s story is sweet – they met “by accident.” Literally. She rear-ended him on a SoCal freeway and he charmed his way into a date I guess

Due to scheduling and locations, I didn’t join [b]ecker (and Cody, the other 2nd photographer from the [b] school) until not long before the ceremony.

I feel like I didn’t really get to shoot the whole story since I missed the getting ready part, but the ceremony and reception were both so gorgeous.

The reception was held at Pacific Palms Resort. Cocktail hour, toasts, salads …and a Korean wedding ceremony to honor the groom’s family.

2 of the bridesmaids performed a dance …

Such a sweet couple, such fun friends and family.

Thanks again, [b]ecker for having me!

On Saturday, the ceremony was at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, with a reception at Pacific Palms Hotel.

Such a fun, family-filled wedding ….

I’ll post more images as I go through them!

Thanks again to [b]ecker for having me along to work with him….

First of all, THANK YOU to my awesome husband who always does such a great job lugging around my equipment, and Maggie Keegan Gross, who came along to 2nd shoot on this long (long) day out of town.

We started out around lunch time at Twist (studiospa) in Paso Robles for getting-ready photos. (it looks like their website is under construction, but there is more info available at Twists’ Facebook page).

Shannon, her maid-of-honor, along with her mom, grandma, new sis-in-law and others basically took over the place to get their hair and makeup done.

SUCH a gorgeous bride!

After hair and makeup, we headed over to the venue – Pear Valley Vineyards – for the rest of the day:

Have you ever checked out Middle Ranch? It’s absolutely the kind of venue I would choose if I was getting married …. big, gorgeous, outdoor lawn and huge trees for the ceremony location …. with the reception venue on the same property.

Love it!

Thanks to Renee for letting me shoot with you! So so fun! I love 2nd shooting …. seriously, I’m up for it any time.

Here is just a quick sneak peek of my images …. more to come!

and here’s just a quick shot of Renee in action!

As I mentioned, she had her vendors set up a mock-ceremony site, where Jessica walked us through how she generally covers a ceremony ….

And made the models (Sean and Brianne) go through ‘the kiss’ a couple times

THESE (below) are the kind of scrumptious details that magazine editors go wild over …
