What Do the Guys Do?

Ever wondered what the guys are up to while the women are “getting ready” for the wedding? It’s a common myth that they sit around watching a game and doing shots. The secret is out: They fire potatoes from a homemade rocket launcher into the Pacific Ocean…

The secret is out.

Here’s a closeup of the screaming spud.

John Jones Coffee

We photographed a beautiful wedding last night at Rose Story Farm in Carpinteria (thank you Justin & Felicity—it was a blessing sharing such a special day with you!) and had the pleasure of running into someone from our past. For those of you who recognize the name “The Java Man”, you’ll be pleased to know that John Jones is now whipping up an excellent brew at select weddings!

John used to drive his mobile coffee shop around to various locations, including the Jefferson Campus of Brooks Institute where we first met him. He takes his coffee seriously and is a really pleasant person to have a conversation with. Last night he had an espresso machine with him and was making any drink the guests could think to request. We had a mocha (yes, it was scrumptious) and overheard a number of people saying very complimentary things about both John and his coffee.

If you are interested in contacting John for your event, please contact him at the following number: 805.252.9991

Updated Portfolios

We’ve just completed an update of our portfolios! In addition to all new photographs for Megan, we have converted all of the galleries over to Flash for greater ease of use and navigation. Peter will be buried in school work (he’s pursuing an MBA through June of 2006), and will not be booking any weddings for next year. Be sure to check out Megan’s baby portfolio too (there are some of our son in it!).

July 3, 2005 Wedding

On July 3, 2005, we photographed a beautiful wedding at Santa Barbara City College and Rockwood Women’s Club. The couple, Becky & Charley, were so much fun and easy to work with and we had a great time! Some of their vendors were Bella Ambiance for the flowers, DJ Gavin Roy for their music, and Palazzio for the catering. Here are a few of our favorite photos from the day.

If you were a guest at their wedding, you may view and order all of their wedding photographs by clicking on their names on our “login” page.

Becky & Charley: Thank you so much for having us be a part of your wedding! You guys are so awesome! We had a great time at your wedding and also every time we grab coffee together! We are so honored that we were able to witness such a beautiful occasion and wish you eternal happiness.

~Megan & Peter Begley

Working with Tony Stewart of Photoshots

I had the privilege of working with Tony Stewart, a fantastic wedding photographer from New Zealand. He was assisting me at a wedding on June 25th at Firestone Vineyard. His incredible eye and friendly demeanor combine perfectly to create a wonderful wedding photographer. It was such a great learning experience and a great pleasure to work with him. Below are some of the photos that we took at the wedding. Also if you’d like to check out his site, here’s a link:
