A while back I had the opportunity to join Sam Hassas as a second photographer during his coverage of Jessica and Cory’s wedding at the Clos LaChance Winery in San Martin California. You can view Sam’s coverage of the wedding HERE. It was an enjoyable day watching the master work, and working along side him. My day started with coverage of the guys getting ready at the hotel.
