Instead of traditional rings Allan and Brenna went with something a little more permanent – namely tattoos on their ring fingers. Kind of funny how you can pay more for a pair of rings that you can take off or loose but the relatively cheap tattoos these two got are permanent.
My buddy Mac at The Gilded Lilly just up the road from my house in Felton did me a solid favor and came in on his day off to do their tattoos for them. Thanks Mac. If you are ever in the area and need some work done he is your man, hands down one the best tattoo artist in California.
Here Allan grows a little impatient. And maybe a little nervous.
After a few minutes they settled on a simple design.

Brenna went first… Brave girl didn’t even wince.

Allan did admit that it “hurt a bit”























Bay Area Photographer: Year in Review: Allan & Brenna’s Santa Cruz Wedding
December 3, 2009This post, along with all many others is part of a Cans For Comments, an effort by photographers around the nation to give just a little back. For every comment each post receives between now and the 15th of December I’ll be donating a can of food to Valley Churches United.

Oh how I miss my buddy Allan. We had so many good times together. Most of which I can’t share on this blog.
Ok, one story. Once while we both worked at camp Allan got irritated with a friend of ours so he dug a pit and buried the car. Yeah. Good times. Ha ha. I can’t for the life of me remember what the guy did to provoke Allan. But that’s what I like about the guy. He doesn’t do anything half way.
I shot His and Brenna’s wedding back in June. Wow, six months. I still don’t know how he landed a great woman like Brenna. However he did it I am super stoked for the guy.
And of course Brenna was stunning in her dress. Shooting them was a blast. Brenna’s a natural in front of the lens.
They had a very simple and beautiful wedding at Davenport Landing Beach just outside of Santa Cruz.
Here are some images from their wedding.
