Julie & Justin Turner - September 6, 2008

This was one of my favorite weddings, by far.  Julie, Justin and their friends and family put together a wedding to remember.  Aside from being 100 degrees outside, everything came together beautifully.  Julie looked absolutely stunning in her dress and as a United States Marine, Justin wore the traditional blues.  We actually broke out the crane for a few of the shots in the trailer - something we don't usually get to do, but couldn't resist with such an awesome couple.  I hope you enjoy this trailer as much I enjoyed shooting and editing it!



Set at Villa Toscana , a gorgeous bed and breakfast in Paso Robles, CA, Mary kept everything running smoothly. In fact, she is one of the most punctual wedding planners/organizers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.  She rocked it!


Epic.


Julie Wilson and her son Daniel Wilson took the pictures you're looking at.  I can't say enough about these two.  Their ability to subtly and elegantly capture such precious moments is uncanny.  If you're looking for true photo journalistic photographers who know what they're doing, look no further.


Floral décor was handled by Eileen at Adornments.  I think the picture speaks for itself - simply gorgeous!


Alfred at AMS Entertainment spun the tunes for the evening.  Keeping everyone informed on what was happening next, Al set a perfect pace for the day.


Coast Nitelites handled the lighting for the event.  If you need event lighting, these guys know how to set a mood while keeping you on budget!


Rockin' a kiss with the veil in the wind. Way cool.


Capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments...


Not a bad way to start as husband and wife!


Julie and Justin, I wish you both the very best in your life together.  Thank you so much for letting me and the rest of our team at Rain Studios be a part of your special day!

The Worst Best Man Ever

I often hear of outrageous and catastrophic things happening at weddings (I've witnessed many firsthand), but this one was just too much.  Check out this clip and let me know what you think.


I know this is terrible, but I couldn't help but laugh at least a little.  Definitely one of those funny-now-that-we-look-back-on-it moments.
