Ira and I photographed Bianca and Michael’s wedding this past weekend in Pebble Beach CA.

What an amazing event!

I was 2nd shooting for Ira. I had the honor of photographing the men, while he was with the ladies.

Michael is on the Philadelphia Eagles as a Defensive Tackle. It made for some fun times photographing he and his groomsmen. I now know what a skinny 10 year old must feel like around me. You’ll see what I mean in some of these images.

I’ll let the images do all the talking so I don’t take up anymore of your time.

Friday was spent driving up to shoot a wedding in Pebble Beach.

Quite the journey getting there which included a speeding ticket (my first ever and well deserved as I was cruising 89 in a 70… which just happened to be the flow of traffic on a straightaway.) The journey also included killing hundreds of monarch butterflies with my windshield, picking up a hitchhiker and downing Red Bulls to stay awake…so you know, normal roadtrip action.

Anyways, Jon Phelps and I arrived at the Hyatt in Monterrey and caught up on march madness at the local sports bar while we waited for Ira to go scout the locations.

Here is the PRE-post before I give you the full taste of the wedding we photographed.

next post:

Bianca and Michael Patterson’s wedding. For now, here’s a small teaser.
