Courtney and PJ’s One Room Schoolhouse Wedding

Married at the larger-than-life Oakland LDS temple.

Transported via school bus to a one-room schoolhouse in the country.

Picnic basket lunches on a warm afternoon under towering walnut trees, followed by dancing ’til dark.

Yep, that was Courtney and PJ’s wedding day. I couldn’t believe how much work their friends and family put into making this day spectacular – everything was handmade with lots of love. Their bridal party made me laugh a LOT.

Courtney’s necklace was one of the only things her relatives grabbed before escaping the Great Chicago Fire, and it had been passed down through generations.

They had a wedding mascot!!

Dan and Stephanie’s Engagement (Kelsey)

Stephanie and Dan are inspiringly genuine people… the kind of people if there were more of, the world would really be a better place. They have a sweet jive all their own and when they’re together something about them says “complete”.

I had a total blast cruising around downtown SLO with them and we finished the shoot off at their EPIC piece of property in Cayucos. They’re the proud owners of Bradley dog…he’s pretty much a ham in front of the camera. Dan is a really gifted musician and it was a treat to get to hear him sing to his Stephanie. To check out some of Dan’s music, click here http://dancurcio.com/ .

Seriously amped for these two to get married in October, their wedding is no doubt going to be full of personality and a HOOT of a good time!

Cana Video Productions: Emily and Brandon’s Wedding

I shot Emily and Brandon’s wedding a few weeks ago. It’ll be up on my blog (and another nationally-known one that you’ve probably heard of) pretty soon.

Cana Video Productions was also there. I was going to include their video at the bottom of my post, but it would just be sort of a shame, in my opinion, if a video like this wasn’t in its own post. Cana blows me away every time, and Ben and Drew are amazing to work with at a wedding.

Hit play, HD, and fullscreen it. You’ll see what I’m talking about.
