Jessica+Jeff ~ Point San Luis Lighthouse Wedding

September 13, 2018

Jessica+Jeff ~ Point San Luis Lighthouse Wedding

Their wedding was perfectly intimate ~ a venue that accommodated all of their desires for a wedding!

and brought this beautiful celebration to the west coast of California at this tiny historic lighthouse on the point. The day could not have been more beautiful ~ perfect weather accompanied the two crews as the families celebrated and joined together. This wedding was exactly the wedding that Jessica & Jeff desired, and it showed on their faces all day long as they enjoyed the company, views, food & celebration :). I couldn’t be happier for these two!

The day’s soundtrack was strummed & DJ’d by Jesse MacLeod ~ and I have to say, their cultivated play list struck a cord with me: mellow classics all day & into the evening, setting the perfect mood!

Of course, beautiful couples and gorgeous days tend to yield pretty incredible photos…so let’s hope that’s the case here (I’d like to think so!)

Venue: Point San Luis Lighthouse | Musician/MC is Jesse MacLeod (JesseMacLeod84@gmail.com) | Florist: Tami Dickerson of Fleur Very Pretty Flowers | Cinnamon Rolls | Catering: Field to Table | Hair/Makeup: Sammy Williams |

Meet the crew

Blake Andrews founded SLOtography in 2008 and now works alongside photographer James Lester and videographer Robin Ayers. Together, they bring more than 30 years of experience (and serious good vibes) to weddings and events throughout San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast.

If you’re looking for the best time to schedule family portraits for your Holiday Card, it’s never. If you’re looking for the perfect outfit, it’s out there but you’ll never find it. And if you’re wondering whether you’ll even like the family photos from your session: you’ll love them. 4 eva.

No shame. No judgement. Sure, I have captured family portraits for over a dozen families this year alone…but my own family portraits…that session is TBD.

Hit me up, or not. I still have plenty of time to capture your crew before Christmas. Or New Years’…or my personal favorite: Groundhog Day.

There’s a thing I’ve noticed about my relationship with my ‘clients,’ the Bride and Groom. If I’m lucky enough to spend time with them, we meet over wine while they vet their photographer, and I screen my potential couple. If we get along, we decide to work together—contract signed, deposit paid. Over months, we plan, coordinate, communicate. The relationship becomes supportive and collaborative, like a business deal, which many thrive in. Then the celebration begins: a welcome dinner, maybe a winery tour—where I meet the crew: family, friends, loved ones. Our relationship deepens—growth, trust, liking each other. The wedding day follows—the pressure ramps up, details land perfectly—the suit, makeup, dress, vows, first look, kiss—a whirlwind. As the sun sets, I focus on capturing the couple at their radiant best. They’re ‘Cloud 9,’ and I’ve fallen for them. Witnessing a community come together to celebrate two beautiful people is moving—something words can’t fully capture but we feel deeply. To Violet, Alex, and all the couples who’ve invited me to celebrate with them, thank you. It’s an honor and a blessing to do this week after week, to make a living doing what I love, and to still be here.
