My friend Erin flew me out to San Diego, California recently to photograph a beautiful wedding with her. Jordan and Chad were married at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, in the foothills just north of San Diego. It’s always fun to somewhere new to photograph, and the misty San Diego sunlight and perfect weather was a welcome change of pace. Since I was the second shooter for this wedding, I spent more time with the groom. Chad is incredibly fortunate to work with and live close to many of his closest friends from childhood. Chad and his groomsmen all grew up in Alabama and now work for the company founded by the best man, Jamie. They were all very friendly and down to earth.
It is fun to be the second shooter sometimes. It gives me a chance to experiment with different perspectives and find pictures that I don’t always have the chance to see. I especially love the opportunites offered by the twilight.
Apart from the wedding, I enjoyed a little bit of free time down in La Jolla. I took a walk on the beach and watched surfers play in the waves for a while – I definitely want to try that sometime. I also satisfied my cravings for sushi and fish tacos. Take a look at the slideshow below to see more pictures from Jordan and Chad’s wedding.
Michael, this is such a great wedding! I always love looking at your work. You have such a great eye for photography. You probably don’t remember me, we met about a year ago, but looks like you are doing well! Fun to run across you. Merry Christmas
These photos are beautiful Michael! I love the vibrant colors, creative angels, and emotion you caught. I feel like I was there!
