Amy and Matt were married this past Sunday at the Rio Lindo Adventist Church in Healdsburg. The beautiful ceremony was followed by a reception just outside on the church lawn.

Maybe one day groom tossing will be an Olympic sport.

Athena and Johnnemann were married this past weekend at the historic Cliff House. While the day started out as a typical foggy and windy summer day in San Francisco, the fog cleared and wind dropped down to a breeze just in time for the outdoor wedding. Hence the quote “The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco” which was supposedly said by Mark Twain.

Since it was an Ocean themed wedding , the wedding cake was of course a sand castle.

Mugging for the camera.

My one and only Olympic experience came in 1984 at the Summer Olympic games in Los Angeles, California. This photo taken from my seat shows Carl Lewis winning his 4th gold medal of the games. Carl’s fourth gold medal came in the 4 x 100 meter relay. The relay team of Sam Grady, Ron Brown, Calvin Smith, and anchor Carl Lewis set a world record of 37.83 that day.

Boxing promoter Don King was a the track venue that day.

Long before there was an Olympic Dream Team, Michael Jordon played for the Chicago Bulls. This photo shows Michael playing against the Golden State Warriors at the Oakland Arena on November 29th, 1986. Michael scored 40 points, played 42 minutes, shot 18 of 19 from the free throw line, and 11 of 30 from the field that night in a losing effort as the Warriors won 113 to 106.

Yesterday I visited the Cliff House and surrounding areas scouting out locations for the wedding I’m photographing there this Saturday. Beautiful views every way you look.

Just across the street is Sutro Heights Park where this photo was taken.

The unusual summer weather made for a beautiful sunset.
