On Sunday April 26, 2009, Steve and Katie were married in Santa Cruz, California. It was a beautiful wedding, with the ceremony held in front of a gazebo on a golf course that overlooked all of Santa Cruz. The reception was held on the same lawn, with some indoor spaces for the cake, band, etc. The music during the service and reception was exceptional, featuring live performances from many of Steve and Katie's friends.

Unfortunately, Amanda and I were not able to stay for the whole reception, since we had to drive back to Los Angeles and be at work the next morning. We missed the cake, first dance, and other activities. Since my photo set isn't complete, I elected to just show my 50 "favorite" shots from that day. Who would have thought it would be hard to choose just 50? If anyone wants copies, just e-mail me...my name at planetvaughan.com.

Incidentally, all of my photos of the ceremony were taken from the "back of the class", as it were, since we wanted the option to hustle Adria out if she started fussing. I strapped on the 200mm zoom lens, and I think it did ok! Many of the closeup images from the reception are with the telephoto lens also. For more images, check out Ivan's gallery.
