It was a long hike, in the snow, up hill both ways
jk, but worth it. After lunch we started messing around in the snow and well 'ya know what they say... "boys will be boys!" We turned some dead wood into a toboggan / snowboard, and surfed it down this snowy hill!
Here's a cool shot of the lucky guy, Landon! I actually got the honor to be in his wedding, and of course couldn't resist to taking a few shots at the wedding . More to come about that in my next post this week.
And of course a snowball fight which lasted all the way down the mountain. Guys in the back
hucking snow at the guys in the front. And guys in the front running ahead and hiding on the side of the trail until we showed up and were pelted with a surprise attack! Good times, good times!
Here's a creative way of using an emergency poncho!
The hike was actually a bit of a challenge, since the snow had been melting and refreezing at night. It was tough and instead of using the trail, we eventually had to rough it up the mountain blazing our own trail in
Idyllwild.
Alright, this is Ben, a professional poker player and a heck of an amateur
snowboarder! We also went to college together, and are good friends.
Here's a shot of me before really eating it! This really reminded me of riding my sector nine or even a surfboard, man I cant wait for surfing this summer!
Hiking is fun but hanging out with some of your best friends is better! Back at the cabin I played some of the funnest pool ever, and half the games involved only two balls and no stick. I still
don't know what the game is called but you can have as many people as you want and on your turn you slide the cue ball at the other trying to knock it in. Guess you had to be there!
Time is the ultimate test of truth. For 25 and 30 years of marriage these two amazing couples have shown what true love is.

I had a great time shooting Jenn and Derek's Wedding this weekend in Palm Springs. The Mission Hills Golf Resort was a perfect venue for sharing their special day with some of their friends and family. The day was filled with anticipation and excitement, and it was a pleasure capturing it. From the moment I got there Jen and Derek treated me like family (thanks guys)!
With photos from two shooters Ive got a lot of photo editing ahead of me. But I really want to thank Talia my 2nd shooter for all of her help. Her photographic intuition was spot on and she was great at anticipating and being ready for the next shot. Thanks Talia!
Heres a link so that you can check out the rest of the photos from this engagement session in Encinitas.
Mother of the bride came prepared, here she is adjusting the brides dress. Can you see the safety pin sticking out of her mouth?
Carlitos was the ring bearer, what a studly little man!
The florist, was a family friend of the b&g, I thought she did an amazing job. I will be sending these shots to her, and if she has a website I will post a link here.
Toughest job of the day, father of the bride. If I ever get the honor, God willing, watch out cause "Here come the waterslides!"
By the way this wedding took place in Escondido at the Escondido Country Club. It was a beautiful venue for a wedding and hope to shoot a wedding there in the future. Wedding Photography in San Diego accounts for about 50% of my gigs, so I imagine I will sometime in the future. The other 50% is Wedding Photography in Temecula, actually since I live in Temecula I would say Wedding Photography in Temecula is 51%!
