Newport wedding photographers, OceanCliff Resort | Elisa and Alex

Newport Rhode Island provides such a rich and elegant backdrop for any wedding but Elisa and Alex lucked out with some amazing clouds on their wedding day at OceanCliff Resort. Despite being a little worried about the chance of rain, Elisa and Alex (and their bridal party) were all amazing and adventurous to make it to some of the dramatic cliffs around Newport for photos. Everyone was really out to have a good time and make the wedding day a huge success, and we're pretty sure it worked. Enjoy a few favorites:

Santa Lucia Preserve Equestrian Center

All these images stemmed from something one of our brides said in passing a while back, 'oh, I'd love to have some photos of me and my horse.' So of course we're up for something like that but the timing didn't present itself for many, many months. But when it did, it ended up being a 2 day shoot at the breath-taking Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, CA. The first day we were contract by the Santa Lucia Preserve Equestrian Center to create some imagery for their marketing department and the second day was our fun bridal shoot. See some of the images from the bridal shoot here on our blog. Such a fun and amazing opportunity for us to be in a truly beautiful place and get to create photographs at the same time.

The equestrian center really wanted to focus on the stables, member's leaning new techniques, trail rides, herding and of course the youth program. So it was a packed day for sure. We didn't have a lot of specific shots in mind, nothing predetermined, which was nice so we could go in with open minds. Free to see things naturally and create little scenes from there. Here's a few of our favorites from the first part of this day's shoot:

We'll post the 2nd part of the day soon! Thanks for looking.

Creativity Take II | Food photography

For our ongoing series on creativity we wanted to play around with photographing food and some general still life shots of the ingredients. This all stems from a love for pie, apple pie specifically. Our vision was a little traditional in the feel of all the images, reminiscent of famous still life paintings and more moody lighting. So interesting how challenging the preparation, set up and crafting of the light can be. Especially since we were playing multiple roles, with Theresa making all the pies herself (and of course we did have to do some taste testing along the way and they were amazing).
