jocelyn & dane are rad. they got married and it was awesome. i played records, brian made the smilebooth go off, and everyone really had a blast. jocelyn & dane are very lucky to have such a fun family and hilarious group of friends, if you check out all the photos you'll probably recognize a few of the faces in the crowd.

this one deserved its' own post! please read all the way down Michael Antonia, aka the Human Jukebox, DJd our wedding in August 22nd, in La Jolla, California. Michael did a brilliant job, at short notice. The music is the part of planning the evening that is the most worrisome if you actually LIKE music, lots of it, lots of kinds of music... We told Michael to have a good time and take risks, and he did it. That said, from the very first song after the toasts, folks danced like crazy. Crazy. We have innumerable photos of older guests boogying (the photos are blurred but there is some discernible high-kicks) and our friends jamming so hard their hair is upside down. My father - a fairly athletic guy- danced the entire time like I have never seen in my life, and reportedly limped through the airport the next day. It was a smallish affair for a California wedding (60 guests) and those ping-pong lights were powerfully bright, but no one cared in the slightest: we got a lot of compliments on the DJ, from a range of guests (my father included). After dinner, my groom and I successfully harassed the catering staff to join us drinking, and soon enough, Michael had them all dancing! When the party rental guys showed up a little early to pick up their equipment, they too just gave in and hit the concrete patio that was the dance floor. Drenched in sweat, all the male guests in the party finally ran down into the Pacific, suits and ties flying off into the darkness. (I believe the women were still dancing). Thank you, Michael!

one of our favorite photographers sarah yates shot two amazing engagement sessions recently and i wanted to show you guys one of them and tell you about the other. jesse & whit are shooting joycie & steve's wedding and i am playing records so it was such an awesome coincidence that they chose sarah to shoot their engagement session. i put a few of the images below, which were all shot in my neighborhood! you can see the rest here

sarah, you beat me to that californian sign... i have been trying to talk people into having portraits taken in front of it all year!

then there is austin & tori. i am playing records & sarah is shooting their wedding down in sayulita mexico in march and we are so excited about it! even bringing wifey and elodie for a little vacation! i also got a sneak peak at a 5DII video sarah shot of these guys that is so amazing but i guess you're gonna have to keep your eye on sarah's blog for that one...

just when you thought our labor of love had done it all they went and got matt. unbelievable!
