The Peninsula at Hearst State Beach, a.k.a. San Simeon Cove

Debbie Markham Photography Tip of Peninsula view San Simeon Cove

Today I photographed 3 generations of a beautiful family at The Hearst State Beach while on their vacation.  I love family reunion photo shoots – seeing grandparents play with grandkids, and parents struggling to corral children is food for my soul.

Thinking ahead, I brought my running shoes and a change of clothes, and hit the sand at 6pm after the shoot.  I was in awe of all the natural beauty of the cove and enjoyed my iPhone panoramic option.  I highly recommend the trail that heads up and around the peninsula at the end of the cove.

Intimate Wedding in Cambria

Jerry and Darlene’s intimate wedding in Cambria at Santa Rosa Chapel, was the second marriage for them both, so they chose to simply invite immediate family.  Their love and commitment shined brightly with a colorful sand ceremony and a fun-loving spirit.  They smiled and laughed throughout their ceremony and portrait time, and then we bravely headed to Moonstone Beach for a few windy shots :).  I would wish them much happiness but they don’t need it, they are a darling pair.  Congratulations!!!
