Bay Area Photographer: Year in Review: Allan & Brenna’s Santa Cruz Wedding

December 3, 2009

This 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.

The Ring Shot

June 14, 2009

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”

Allan and Brenna Rock Davenport Landing Beach

June 14, 2009

Back in the day I worked at a summer camp here in Santa Cruz and I made a tons of good friends. One of them was Allan Scronce. His nickname was “marbles” because he was always loosing things – as in he lost his marbles. Allan is one of those guys who has a rare sense of humor. Once, to get even for a prank someone played on him he drove his car into a field, dug a hole with a back hoe and then buried the car!

A few months ago Allan sent me a message via Facebook to let me know that he was getting married and to ask me to shoot the ceremony. As we chatted a bit about what he and Brenna his bride wanted their wedding day to be like and what they wanted from the images I got more and more excited. They were planning on having the wedding on the beach for one, and I just happen to love shooting on the beach. I know some photographers shy away from shooting on the beach at mid-day – the hard sunlight and bright sand make for tricky exposures, squinting eyes, and on occasion a burned up strobe. But I get excited. I don’t know what I love more, the images I get or the freedom to shoot a wedding bare foot!

Davenport Landing Beach is a popular surf spot with some killer waves and killer views

The reception was at Brenna’s family cabin at Mount Hermon. It’s a nice little cabin in the woods where both families got together to celebrate with a few drinks and some home style music.

At this point you have to be asking yourself “What about the rings?”
