Tour de San Francisco

The wedding season has come to a close for me, I'm getting all caught up on vacation :) albums, side projects, and of course blogging! The last two weddings of 2010 for me were amazing! The first, in late October was in San Francisco! Scott and Ann were stunning, but we had also planned a tour of the city via party bus! We didn't get to hit every location, or shoot every picture idea we had because it was raining a bit here and there, but we still had the 4 hours of photo time scheduled and we made the best of it! From Coit Tower, to the Embarcadero and the Piers, The Presidio and the Palace of fine Arts, Baker Beach and a bunch of sweet photo spots in between... we came away with a ton of great photos. And to end the night on a boat, cruising the bay couldn't have been better. The sun finally broke through for sunset, just as we were sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge... Amazing! Check out the pics below!


















The last wedding took me out to Houston for Jason and Lindley's wedding! Houston was gorgeous! This was the second time that I've been there to shoot, and each time it seems like the Santa Barbara weather had followed me there. Jason and Lindley had their wedding out at their family's ranch a bit out of town. It was breathtaking to say the least. After 5 years or so in construction, the final pieces came together literally days before the wedding... and what a wedding it was! Everything from skeet shooting in the morning, to a live band, cigar rolling, hat shaping, and even fireworks to close the night down! This definitely is going down as one of my most memorable weddings ever! But which Arnoldy wedding hasn't? This family knows how to throw a party!


























After the wedding season slowed down a little bit, I was blessed to let my facial hair grow a little bit, relax a little, and head down to Ixtapa Mexico with my wife, daughter and her family for some much needed rest and relaxation. A week sitting by the pool, sipping pina coladas is hard to beat. Even Cheyenne was double fisting the virgin pina coladas at times :)









And upon arriving back home I got to connect up with Alexandra and Ricardo and their new baby boy! I shot Alexandra and Ricardo's wedding a couple of years ago, so it was a lot of fun to hear from them, catch up and get together to shoot some family pictures. I don't shoot that many family pics for whatever reason, and I don't mind, but it's always a lot of fun and a blessing to do so when I do get the opportunity! Cheers to everyone whose lives I got to share in this year! Looking forward to an amazing 2011!!
