wedding at the carmel mission & santa lucia preserve, part 2
09.22.2010
Last weekend I shot a wonderful wedding at the Carmel Mission and the reception took place at the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, California. If you missed part 1 of this wedding post, click here and read it first.
Although we were rushed at the church and only had a few minutes for family portraits at the alter due to a long ceremony, we had plenty of time on the way to the reception to stop along the winding road en route to the barn for some amazing images. Joe Photo and I just jumped in the coach with the wedding party and we screamed for the driver to stop whenever we saw a scenic background with nice light.
Here are a few of my favorite relaxed portraits:

Yeah, these two were pretty easy to photograph:

I loved this oak tree. I wish I could fit it into my backyard.

And finally here are a few detail shots of the barn.
The guests took home some really fancy olive oil as their favors:

Notorious is a rockin' 80's cover band. It's the second time I've worked with them at the Preserve. Once again that had people dancing all night long.

I'm not a video guy, but I was goofing around towards the end of the evening as the gentlemen serenaded the bride because they suspect that she's lost that loving feeling:
Once again, I want to thank Adriana and her crew from Barbara Llwellyn Catering and Event Planning for making everything run so smoothly. They were a pleasure to work with. I also want to thank Jen from the Santa Lucia Preserve for taking good care of us as well.
