Concerts in the Plaza ~ SLOtography Photobooth

June 20, 2016

The SLOtography Photobooth made it’s first (of many) trips to Concerts in the Plaza at the Mission Plaza in Downtown SLO. It was the first CIP event of the summer of 2016 ~ an excellent kick off to the summer! The Concert series will run thru the summer ~ with a lot of great acts to check out…and more opportunities to jump in the SLOtography Photobooth 😉

More About Us

Ride Ataxia SLO 🚴‍♀️🌊
Or as we like to call it: our college reunion.

A bunch of buddies—now a few years out of college—coming together for a good cause: @rideataxia. While he might be a bit of a Barney, it’s always easy to show up for Kyle Bryant: a fierce athlete, a constant source of motivation, and since our days at UC Davis, one of my closest friends.

Most of my greatest adventures started with one of his wild, bone-headed ideas—and he’s been dragging me along ever since: New Zealand, the Race Across America, countless Ride Ataxias… to name a few. I’d bet many of you reading this have your own story of how you know Kyle Bryant. 😉

This past weekend, friends and FAmily (pun intended!) showed up in Avila Beach for the 2nd annual Ride Ataxia Hometown event—a fun cruise down the Bob Jones Trail to support the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (@curefa_org) 💙

The fundraising goal is BIG, and we’re almost there. If you’re able, please consider donating:

Short ride, big impact.

Natalie & Jaron threw one of the most unforgettable weddings I’ve had the joy of capturing — a colorful, campy, non-traditional celebration at the iconic @madonnainn1958 that broke every mold in the best way possible. Think: a tattoo bar, a 1900s box camera photobooth, rhinestones, cowboy boots, floral his & her outfits and some serious line dancing magic…

There’s not enough space here to show it all >> venture to the blog (link in profile) for more :)

A celestial celebration 🌕✨
Erica & Rob’s wedding at Swallow Creek Ranch was something out of a dream — a warm, pristine day with white-capped waves in the distance and a soft coastal breeze in the air. After 14 years together, they stood with their children, surrounded by family and friends, and promised forever.
⁠
The ceremony was heartfelt, the setting surreal, and the full moon rose like a quiet blessing over the evening. A day filled with meaning, memory, and love that’s stood the test of time. 💛

What magical sequence of choices and fates have led me to a place in life, where I might be invited into celebrations like these…each unique, and then some profoundly so, (like yesterday with Natalie & Jaron), leaves me in a daze of gratitude. If you’re like me, and you get a contact high from Joy, perhaps you may be best served to start up a wedding business on a whim…and then, maybe, just maybe, you’d find yourself attending some of the world’s greatest weddings featuring its most excellent natural creations (human & landscape). It may sound quite enticing, it may not, but whatever it is, it is work.

17 years in, each Sunday, I wake up thoroughly exhausted and what drags me out of bed…well, it is literally my daughter (Juniper, 4, a blessing for another post) but if it weren’t for her, I’d still by crawling to my computer to see what my camera absorbed from the night before. And if you’re like me, these images may incite some kind of feelings, maybe invite in a particular mood, and I hope that, (like mine), it’s a good one.

If this sounds like a level of commitment you don’t care to add to your life, at least during this go-round the sun, just follow along ;). I’ll continue until I lay down my camera and I…thanks for the constant inspiration, all you beautiful people.

This week, I’d like to spotlight the uniqueness, beauty and love of Natalie & Jaron <3.
