My soon to be daughter-in-law is the daughter I always wanted. It was extra special for me to be at her wedding dress selection with her mother and best friend. Beautiful from the inside and out, I am so happy she fell in love with my son. I am looking forward to their wedding October 1st 2016 at The Rincon Beach Club in Santa Barbara.
Working as a wedding photographer for over thirty years I have witnessed endless ways couples chose to celebrate one of the most special days of their lives. I had the fortune to photograph a lovely couple who chose a simple, elegant and meaningful way to exchange their vows. Starting at their home with a few family portraits, the ceremony took place at the beach between the predicted thunderstorms of the day. With only immediate family in attendance, everything went off without a hitch. The couple’s four children from a previous marriage looked on in excitement. After the “I Do’s” and much cheerful hugging and kissing, there were a few final portraits at the beach.
The way she looked at him, the way he looked at her, the deep love and joy was so apparent. And isn’t that what marriage is all about? Love and Commitment, forever!
The year was 1968, I bought my first car, a rally green 327 Camaro. Driving down the road listening to The Rolling Stones “Satisfaction,” I was on top of the world!
Do you remember your first car? Or after years of thinking about a certain car do you own it now? As a portrait photographer, I have the pleasure to photograph all kinds of people and their favorite cars. There is the excitement of ownership, the relationship you develop with the car, and a sense of home away from home. Maybe one of the photographs below will resonate with your experiences.
Ok. So I am ten months old. I already mastered walking. It’s about time I learned to drive. I have places to go!
I have worked hard my whole life to provide for my family. The kids are grown and doing well. It’s time for me to purchase my “Dream Car.”
We summer in the Hamptons and there is nothing quite like taking the family for a drive in my Buick down to the beach!
We have Dad’s Ferrari. Let’s party!!
It’s fun just hanging out in my pink car. I can even “blow kisses” like I am leaving to go somewhere important!
So next time you have your family portrait session you may want to include the special car in your life!!
