Associate Kayla: Jason and Joanna's Engagements {Still Water Winery}

Monday, December 30, 2013

Jason and Joanna have one of the most amazing stories. First of all, they flew here from Texas for their engagement session and are getting married in April at The Cliffs. How in the world did they decide to get married here? Well they pretty much spun a globe and put their finger on Pismo Beach, California. How awesome is that? And to top it off, they met on an online dating site even though they lived in the same town! I found myself smiling at how sweet they were together and amazed at how all of these random events had to have happened for them to be standing in front of me having their engagement pictures taken. They picked the perfect time to have their engagements done at a winery, because it was just a few days later that all of those beautiful leaves were gone. And in my opinion, it was the prettiest time of the year. Congratulations to you both!

Associate Kayla: Carroll Family {Edna Valley}

It was a few days before Christmas and 70 degree's outside when I arrived at the Carroll's beautiful country property in Edna Valley. I knew immediately this was going to be an easy shoot. I was further delighted to find out that one of Mrs. Carroll's daughters was a former bride! Shannon and Dustin now have a beautiful baby boy (who Ashley just took newborn pictures of) who was absolutely adorable. With a beautiful day, on a beautiful property, with a photogenic family, a few spunky dogs, and a skunk sighting, it made for a perfectly picturesque shoot. Happy New Year to you all.

Jeremy + Jordan's Engagements {Back Bay Inn}

Sunday, December 29, 2013

What a shoot! Jeremy and Jordan were absolutely amazing and it was great getting to know them more at their engagement session. They both were comfortable in front of the camera so the entire time seemed effortless. As always, the Back Bay Inn blew me away with its unique lighting and incredible props…I just might need some family pictures taken there. :) Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake Jeremy and Jordan's engagement session at the Back Bay Inn in Los Osos, CA / Paso Robles / Modesto wedding photographer and family photographer Ashley Blake

Brian + Emilee's Engagements {Cal Poly}

Tuesday, December 17, 2013

I graduated from Cal Poly years ago and I realized after Brian and Emilee's engagement session there last week that I missed out on some many great areas of the campus. Emilee gave me a great tour of her old stomping grounds as well as the location where she met her soon-to-be husband. It was a great walk down memory lane and I had an incredible time with them both. Students were literally finishing up their last final on the Friday we shot on campus so it was very entertaining taking pictures outside some of the dorm room. :) Thank you, Brian and Emilee, and I cannot wait until March!
