It’s been awhile since I’ve had a chance to be second shooter for Salinas photographer Glen McDowell, but when the opportunity to work with him came up I welcomed it, despite having a wedding of my own in Sacramento the day before.

Caroline & Giulio got married in an elegant ceremony at a very elegant location, Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. We had beautiful light, a gorgeous setting and a fun reception. It was my first Bernardus Lodge wedding, and the venue’s reputation is well-deserved.

Be sure to check out Glen’s photos; my favorites from my take are here.
