Elise+Nic ~ Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding

Elise & Nic ~ Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding

Two of San Luis Obispo’s coolest families, just got a lot cooler. That’s right, the Beems & the Patricks have reason to celebrate, and celebrate they did, at the beautiful Santa Margarita Ranch. Of course, they took care of the ‘official business’ during a beautiful ceremony at First Presbyterian Church in downtown SLO. The church was filled, the air was still and Elise & Nic’s love turned up the heat until they sealed the deal with their first kiss…then it was off to the reception.

This day was especially cool for me to spend time with so many longtime friends, including Elise, whom I’ve known since she was in high school (and her smile hasn’t changed since)…she was ‘beeming’ all day as the beautiful bride. Bad puns aside, it was a pleasure to capture this incredible event. Please enjoy the pics and let Elise & Nic know what you think!

441

That’s how many weddings I just counted—441 weddings I’ve had the pleasure of capturing. All time.

Starting in 2008, that’s an average of 26 weddings per year! Wow. Yes, that includes elopements. However, I’ve also calculated that, on average, I spend about six hours capturing each wedding.

For all of you who love numbers, this one’s for you. And here’s a big one:

500.

For a long time, I had the number 500 in mind—like, “After 500, I’m out!”

At the rate I’ve been going for the last five years, I’ll hit 500 by the end of 2026.

Spoiler: I’m not retiring in 2027. That’d be no fun. So maybe 2037? I’ll lay down my camera, and I’ll…
