First group of photos by our friend Keith Skelton ...

Low rez files from rehearsal, dress rehearsal and Show. More to come ...

Wonderfully Weather, Location, Ceremony and Reception, Dinner, Dance. Brian's homemade Beer, and Ale and a Stout were amazing! I don't usually like darker beers, but these, while be Strong, were incredible smooth and flavorful. If Brian's engineering career doesn't work out, I know what he would be very successful at!

I was a little rushed and tired photo shopping these shots last night. At some point I started to Apple/F key'ing my last filter, thinking it was the UnSharp filter when in fact the last used filter was a Noise Reduction filter. :-(

Louis and Erin Palos do a wonderful job! You can already see their pre-wedding shots of Karen and Brian on that web site. They make great use of their Fast Lenses! :-)

Our vacation continues with a hike at our favorite Tsankawi indian ruins, vainly trying to work off all those great meals.

... Part II.
The Canyon Road shots are from the traditional Christmas Eve activities on that road ... which has a large collection of galleries and restaurants. People walk up and down that street, stopping at the fires that are set-up in front of establishments, sipping hot drinks and singing carols. Unique, crowded, fun ...

Santa Anita Ave. exit off of the 210 fwy ... straight up to Chantry Flat then hike down to Sturtevant Falls. After picking up Max and Gabe from school on a Friday. We didn't get into the canyon until ...more

4:30 PM ... so it was a quick rush to the waterfalls and back up the hill in twilight.

First the wedding at a pretty Gazebo at Heisler Park in beautiful Laguna Beach. Then the reception at their house in Mission Viejo.
