The perfect conclusion to the Perfect Day.  The weather in California was amazing.  The light in California is different than the light in Utah, and it took me a few weeks to figure out the difference when we moved to Salt lake City from Orange County, but for those who aren’t aware of what the difference is, here’s the big secret.

There is so much pollution in Southern California that is create a beautiful hazy light, even on sunny days.  When in Utah, you can see that haze sitting over the valley like a plastic grocery bag, just browish and see-throughish and just hanging there.  It’s icky.  I mean, lets face it, no one wants to wake up in the morning and realize that their clear view of 20 miles to the other side of the valley is now obscured through a brownish mist, a garbage specter hovering.

But in California, instead of hanging out in the north and ruining the view, the mist is more fine, it smells of the ocean, and it soaks up a bit of the sunlight coming from the southwest, making it easier on the eyes.  Even though I am glad that I no longer continually breathe in California’s air, I adore shooting in it!!  Best light in the world in my book.

After the temple, we visited several location along the coast in Newport and Laguna before heading to the reception.  First stop In N Out!!!

Sydney and Nick, I want to thank you both so much for sharing your wedding day with me.  You made me feel like an honored guest and a welcome friend, and I had a wonderful time working with you both!  The wedding album is going to be a gorgeous record of all the fun from that day, I can’t wait!

Love, Pepper
