I just did a Bay Area wedding at the Elliston Winery in Sunol. Never had been there before. Surprising considering how close it is. And it was a pretty amazing place. The wedding was really fun, too. Small, intimate, very beautiful. But that's not why I'm writing this.

The photographer for the wedding and wedding reception was Todd Parsons and, yes, he and his wife were very easy to work with. They had good personalities, very friendly, easy going and, yet, took some amazing shots. They had something at the wedding that I thought was a brilliant idea. Todd had taken engagement photos of the couple and had turned into a guest book of sorts. A regular photo album done with a nice layout with plenty of blank space for guests to write in.

Obviously, the guests and I could all see the great shots they had taken for the engagement shoot, but people were excited about signing in and writing motivational type messages in this book. I know they will cherish it forever.

Anyway, check out this guy's site, very nice shots and very great idea. I'm sure someone got a photo of it and if I get a copy, I'll post it up here later. Brilliant! I look forward to working with these guys again.
