Bikram Yoga San Luis Obispo

March 3, 2014

If you’ve ever done Bikram Yoga ~ you know it’s tough, but kind of incredible…and Bikram Yoga San Luis Obispo is no exception. If you are considering trying Bikram yoga, believe me, these pictures below will not do it justice.

These images depict talented/experienced teachers & students rocking these poses and they will surely give you something to aspire to. If you’d like to really experience Bikram, try turning the heater up to 100+ degrees and then attempt to emulate these poses! Or…here’s a better idea: head over to Bikram Yoga San Luis Obispo and save yourself (and your heating bill). Bikram Yoga SLO is a great studio with a great staff (see below. I had the pleasure of photographing the studio, staff & even a class (which was a bit hot…I wore pants for some ridiculous reason, not recommended)!

Enjoy the pics and go check out Bikram Yoga San Luis Obispo!

More About Us

Elena came into our lives the way a lot of new people do these days…she responded to our request for childcare for our two-year-old ;). When we discussed the possibility of nanny-ing, we had inquired about Memorial Day weekend and whether she’d be available…to which she responded, “Unfortunately, no. I’m going to a music festival!” Turns out, we would all be in attendance ;). And from that point on, we not only found a nanny…but a friend…ahhh <3

Fast forward to last month, our daughter is now 5, and we had enough time to attend the beautiful wedding/festival celebration for Elena & Nick. The kids stayed at home, with the exception of their pup ;). ’Twas a beautiful night in the vineyard in the Edna Valley. The long table, filled with good people, full glasses of delicious wine & food, and surrounded by the vineyard and good vibes.

Nothing but pictures of newlyweds and a soundtrack.

If it’s been a while since you’ve attended a wedding, here’s a reminder: they are pure amazing.

The remarkable thing about this profession (wedding photography) is that I am privy to a synthesis of two lives as we witness them collide in spectacular fashion. Everyone in attendance has brought their support, love, gifts, amazing outfits, and cheer from hundreds/thousands of miles away to celebrate and witness this once-in-a-lifetime union. And in the blink of an eye, it’s gone. It’s so concentrated.

There are a chosen few who are honored & brave enough to speak and summarize the two lives of the newlyweds; each has 3 minutes to do so. And when you subtract the pauses (to hold back the tears), we find there’s only a couple of hundred words uttered. Potent. Emotional. Heavy.

And…I never know truly what I’m about to experience, as I lace up my boots and head out the door, to any given wedding. But it’s always remarkable.

And taking all of that, and turning it into a photo gallery…well, it’s a tall order. I love it. I’ve done it for a while now, and I can say with some confidence, I’m good at it, too.

But, at the end of the weekend… you’ll find me (as I am now), soaking in a bath. Recovering. Restoring. And preparing for next week, when it’s time to lace up again and see what the day brings. *spoiler: it’s gonna be awesome. (i.e.: Olivia+Jonah ❤️ )

Anna + Conner 🤍

What an incredible weekend celebrating these two at Riata Ranch.

Anna was actually a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed years ago, so getting the chance to document her own wedding alongside Conner felt especially meaningful. These two are brilliant humans — mathematicians, doctors, self-proclaimed nerds — but more than anything, they are deeply intentional about building a beautiful life together.

Their wedding weekend was centered on everything that matters most: connection, community, amazing food, dancing, laughter, and genuine time spent with the people they love.

From the relaxed backyard BBQ welcome party to the emotional ceremony beneath the oaks and the starry-night portraits under the new-moon sky, every part of this celebration felt authentic to who they are.

So grateful to have documented this beautiful weekend in Santa Margarita. Congratulations again, Anna + Conner ✨
