Still Music: Santa Cruz Wedding Photographers | The Davenport Ditch Adventure!

I am a Santa Cruz wedding photographer that likes to skate. I had heard about this crazy amazing and secret skate spot from some of my friends that I’ve been wanting to check out. But since I broke my wrist (skateboarding), I haven’t had a chance to go explore and skate there. So we decided to head out there and see what it might be like at sunset to take some portraits. We can’t tell you exactly where it is since it’s a secret, but it’s a pretty amazing location on the bluffs above a rocky coastal backdrop. There’s a ton of graffiti all over, which adds a lot of wonderful colors. It was SO windy and really cold, and we were NOT dressed for that. So if we were to take some engagement pictures there, it’d be awesome but we’d have to make sure it wasn’t so windy. We were thinking maybe sunrise would be better, and the light would be amazing! So if you’re into it, we’ll let you in on the secret!

Welp, below is documentation of our adventure. Erin jumped, I shivered and we pretended to be majestic. Check out some of our other adventures here!

- love, Jer, your Santa Cruz wedding photographer

Emily and Stephen | Pleasure Point Engagements | Still Music: Santa Cruz Wedding Photographers

This Memorial Day weekend we took some portraits for Emily and Stephen’s Pleasure Point Engagments! Santa Cruz is a special place for this couple. Steven grew up in the area and both Emily and Stephen attended UC Santa Cruz. The two now live in Oakland but will be getting married in Santa Cruz this summer at Chaminade. We had a great time walking around Capitola with these two. Emily and Steven showed us their favorite spots along East Cliff and braved the wind for some beautiful pictures. More impressively, Emily hiked, climbed and balanced in her heeled boots along the wet rocks to make sure we got the most epic pictures! She was game for it all. We’ll be seeing them again in August! We can’t wait to celebrate with them. Check out these portraits of our fun evening with Emily and Steven!

Ashley & Craig | Albany Bulb Engagements | Still Music: Santa Cruz Wedding Photographers

We had a great time shooting Ashley and Craig’s Albany Bulb engagements. That is because Ashley and Craig are a lot of fun. They always seem to be laughing, or smiling, or kissing one another; which makes for excellent photos! Makes our job so much easier. It always helps when the couple hasn’t seen each other in a long time like our happy couple. We drove up from Santa Cruz and met Ashley and Craig, who drove down from Bodega Bay, in Berkeley. We took some photos at the Marina and moved on to the Albany Bulb, one of our favorite spots. With striking views of San Francisco’s skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bulb is always a good choice for a fun photo session. Also there are always a lot of amazingly cute dogs going on walks with their parents. We saw the most amazing puppy ever there and it was life changing. Check out these fun photos from Ashley and Craig’s Albany Bulb engagement session!
