"Ya know, I used to live like Robinson Crusoe; I mean, shipwrecked among 8 million people. And then one day I saw a footprint in the sand, and there you were." - C.C. Baxter

Sometimes as a photographer you fuss over the perfect lighting, trying to avoid harsh light and trying to find the perfect setting.  But some moments are just so sweet and genuine that they transcend all imperfections with light.  And there is something so very joyous about a newly married couple.

It may be fall everywhere else in the United States but with the heat here it still sometimes feels like summer.  All photos were taken with my phone, which has lately been the medium of choice for these spontaneous trips.

San Clemente - Connie and Patrick-1.jpgSan Clemente - Connie and Patrick-2.jpg

It was a bit of a cool, overcast day when I met Connie and Patrick for their engagement.  Though they were looking for a more "Californian" engagement session, the coolness I'm sure was a welcome change from the hot weather they've been enduring in Texas.  Surfers were out en masse in the relaxed little beach town of San Clemente.

San Clemente - Connie and Patrick-3.jpg San Clemente - Connie and Patrick-4.jpg

Connie and Patrick are a fun couple to work with, a perfect mixture of sweetness and silliness.

It was a beautiful day in Playa del Carmen when Jen & Dave spoke their vows in front of forty of their closest friends and family.  There was a lot of love, a lot of laughter, and even a few tears. 

J&D-15.jpg

I knew even from their engagement that Jen & Dave are a special couple, so it was no surprise that the rest of their friends and family was equally fun.  They made everything easy. :)

J&D-4.jpg

It was a gorgeous day for their event.

J&D-16.jpg

J&D-7.jpg

After the ceremony, the whole wedding group walked behind the Mariachi band as they paraded around the street.  Kudos to the talented team of Two Penny Productions for keeping up with the crowd with all their equipment. :)

J&D-8.jpg

The wedding group partied it up for the rest of the night at the Blue Parrot

J&D-13.jpg

Did I mention that their whole group is incredibly musically talented?  There were a lot of performances that night, including a very sweet surprise song performed by Dave for Jen.

J&D-12.jpg

At the end of the night there was a fire dance, which was amazing!  Kelly and I were transfixed.

J&D-14.jpg

We had a great time in Playa del Carmen, and were so honored to be able to capture their beautiful wedding day.  Congrats Jen and Dave!

See their slideshow here .  Enjoy!

San Luis Obispo, Play del Carmen, and now Vegas...  it sort of feels like I've been living out of my suitcase.  But it's been an amazing experience, even though I'm once again packing my suitcase for the road.

But first, a teaser from Jen and Dave's beautiful Playa del Carmen wedding.

On Monday I drove down to visit Jen and Dave's cool little corner in San Diego.  The relaxed, quirky vibe of this town fit their personalities perfectly, and we had a good time walking around their stomping grounds.

Shooting a fellow photographer is always a little intimidating, but Jen made it really easy.  It felt like we were just hanging out and chatting about equipment (and usually when I talk about that with other people, their eyes just glaze over).  Jen loves capturing people (and dogs!) as naturally as possible, which is totally my style as well.  And like many photographers (including yours truly), she's not fond of being in front of the camera.  But I think Jen and Dave did a great job. :)  Below is a personal favorite of mine, a shot of a shot at one of their local watering holes.

E&P1.jpg

I met Evelyn and Phillip on a lovely Sunday afternoon to do their engagement shoot.  Evelyn and Phillip are one of those envious couples who have their wedding act together, and I am in complete awe at how they've managed to whip their wedding into shape.  I think they deserve an award, and that will be that they will probably not go to their honeymoon all exhausted like many other couples (including yours truly).

Here are a few pics from their session.

E&P2.jpg

E&P3.jpg

You wouldn't be able to tell from most of their engagement pics, but most of the time they looked like this (below).  They were constantly laughing and teasing each other, and brought a lot of energy to their shoot.  I thoughtlessly chimed into a few of their more private conversations with some inane comment or the other (I am known to do that from time to time, sorry guys!).  But they were pretty nice about it. I am always full of opinions, even when I'm busy shooting. :)

E&P4.jpg

E&P5.jpg

Afterwards we headed down to the beach for the quintessential California engagement shoot.  The light was lovely, and by that time they were pros at ignoring me while I photographed them. :)

E&P14.jpg

This last shot they decided on their own.  Way to take the "plunge," guys!  Pacific ocean water, even on a summer evening, isn't always the warmest.

E&P15.jpg

All in all they were a fun, sweet couple, and I had a great time with them.  I am excited to shoot their wedding next year.  Time to test out my seaworthiness. :)

Every year, in the wee hours of the morning, little fish flock southern California beaches to spawn in what is known as the Grunion run.  My first (and until recently, only) experience was spent shivering on the beach at night scouring the beaches with a flashlight, only to walk away sleepy and tired with an empty bucket.

grunion1.jpg

This time around I still ended up with an empty bucket, but that was because we gave up our catch to a family.  We hit a relatively desolate stretch of beach about ten minutes before midnight, and waited, finally following the birds to the end of the beach where our flashlights revealed lightning quick flashes of silver.  Many of them are ridiculously quick, I can't tell you how often I attempted to chase one down only to be smacked by a cold Pacific ocean wave for my troubles.  They are also small and squirmy, and I was very leery of squishing them.

grunion2.jpg

The videos below are courtesy of Vivian's camera, starring Ricky (with commentary by Vivian) and the Grunions. :)



Here's a video with the males fertilizing the eggs and the female laying the eggs vertically in the sand:

This is awesome! Have you seen Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead? There is a scene where Christina Applegate and her man have their first date watching the Grunion run. I had completely forgotten about it until now!

(07.27.09)
Ricky Kotani:

I'm a little skeptical of doing that again also...
but then it was large amounts of fun, and if anything, always good times.

I'm glad we decided not to take them home.

Vivian Shih:

Grunions = fun. Glad it was a success! It's amazing how they return (in the same abundance) every year!
