October is a wonderful month. Fall is starting to show up, it starts to get all nice & chilly out (minus the occasional heat wave), it's my birthday month, and now - Owen & Jenny's *official* declaration of their vows. I say *official* because they've been married for a little bit already, did it on their lunch break at the court house :D But this was the official, let's-rock-Cayucos-and-the-Central-Coast-with-our-awesomeness-day. Or LRCATCCWOAD. Whichever you prefer.

These two are loved, a TON! Some of the best toasts I have heard at any wedding, hands down. I count myself among those that raised their hands who would do anything they asked. Owen & Jenny are amazing, wonderful people! Both the Livingston & Main family did a wonderful job with raising such amazing people!!

And a huge thank you to Ely Roberts of Ely Roberts Photography for coming out and shooting with me! Small world - he knows Joaquin Garcia, boomtastic man of many talents (including emceeing, brotha brings it!) It was great to get to shoot with such an awesome guy - mahalo Ely, it was my pleasure!

And now, the meteor shower of awesome!

Sunday was a supernova, but I don't want to overload you with too much now, so here's a quick preview of what's to follow. Owen & Jenny, you are absolutely amazing, as evidenced by the stellar speeches at the reception (some of the best I've heard).

Aloha & have a BLAST in Hawaii, Owen & Jenny no ka oi!!

I went up the 101 this last weekend to shoot the beautiful couple at two of their favorite spots, Avila Beach & the spot of the proposal, Montana De Oro. Being back up there was spectacular, it really is such a beautiful place, oak trees, green fields, fog (i love the fog!), it's just so great and I couldn't think of any place I'd rather shoot the beautiful couple!!

I absolutely love the central coast! When I moved from Nampa, ID (just outside of Boise), i moved to Cambria and became a Coast Union Bronco. 2 amazing years of fun and general shenanigans & tom foolery! In the last year I met Owen, always had a smile on his face, athletic and was a blast to be around. Of course, he was a Freshman and I was a Senior, but with a small school (our class had 68 graduating) you got to know people.

We started out the day at Avila, it was a wee bit windy (and by wee, I mean pretty crazy), we walked the pier (above & below, freaky below, true story!), walked the beach, climbed 30 feet in the air onto a pipe, you know, normal things :) So much fun!!

Love this!

This is about 30 feet up... they were absolutely game for it, which is always awesome!!

I think this might be my favorite of the day, hard to choose, but it has love & Chucks - bonus all around!

On our way to see if we can get into a field of yellow flowers...

Field was a bust, but I loved what we got here. Close runner up to favorite...

Love...

It!

I <3 reflections!

Then it was off to Montana De Oro and the spot of the actual engagement. Thankfully, it wasn't freezing like it was when Owen popped the question. It was such a wonderful location: rocks, waves, awesomeness...

It was still a bit chilly, i won't lie

Another close favorite...

seriously, too many favorites!

A quick detour on the way back, I love detours :)

And as an added bonus, besides having the pleasure of their company for the day, making some beautiful pictures in beautiful locations... I was treated to lunch at Firestone Grill, soooo ridiculously good! Mmmmm, The Piiiiiiig!

A huge mahalo to Jenny & Owen, I'm so looking forward to October!! And thanks to Bryce Ashland (Owen was a groomsmen in Bryce's wedding) for coming along, chatting, hanging and helping out!

Jenny & Owen will be getting married in October and I am so stoked to be shooting their wedding!! Thanks for the wonderful day all!!

Much aloha!

Will
