As luck would have it, I was already planning on being in Santa Teresa when these guys booked me for the 2nd.  If the first wedding of the year is any indication of the season to come, it's gonna be a good one.  This was really fun, warm, and beautiful.  Nice folks, good vibes, and a gorgeous sunset.  2010 is off to a great start.

A very good ending to a very great year.  Renee and Ben met in my home town of Montclair, NJ, so it felt meant to be that they found me.  I had so much fun at this very intimate wedding (only four guests!).  Here are a few moments from their wedding day:




















Weddings like this only happen once in a blue moon.  OK, that was corny.  But it was lovely.  Happy New Year, everyone.  And Pura Vida.

This was my first wedding of the season down here, and I was lucky enough to be joined by the talented Richard May (the shots of Gene getting ready are his). I also got to cover the rehearsal dinner which was really cool because the bride's mom surprised them with the performance artists. The wedding day it was pouring all afternoon, one of those torrential tropical rains that seemed like it would never end, but the sun broke out literally minutes before Marisa walked down the aisle. It was awesome.

Here's a few more photos from Andrea + Ray's elopement in Santa Teresa.

I shot a lovely elopement a couple days ago in one of my favorite places, Santa Teresa.  The coolest part about this couple: they live in my hometown of Montclair, NJ.  Here's my favorite image of the day:


More images to come in a couple weeks when I'm all caught up on everything else, plus two more weddings and a portrait shoot.
