Fun Ribbon Cutting Event Photography in Pacific Grove at my own dentist!
Since I moved to Pacific Grove 16 months ago, I needed a new dentist and was glad to find one within walking distance to my house. I needed a dental implant, and one that required some extra prep, so over the course of 7+ months I got to know Dr. Vince and the team at Moonflower Dentistry pretty well, so I was glad to hear of their grand opening and ribbon cuttingevent as I saw first hand the huge renovations going on inside the practice. Dr. Kritika and Dr. Vince put on an energetic and fun event to celebrate their newly renovated practice. I can also recommend Dr. Vince as the best dentist I have had in my life, and having had implants from another dentist / practice, his methods and skills made the experience for more pleasant. Check them out if you need a new dentist or want to get care in a state of the art practice!
Venue Event Photography at Asilomar Conference Grounds Street Fare in Pacific Grove California
This was night two of three photographing different venues at Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California that each had a very different theme. The first night was a rustic theme, while this night went in a totally opposite direction, and underground at that, with a street fare style and DJ vibe. Asilomar Conference Grounds was the client, and wanted me to focus not on the guests, which is the usual for photographing an event, but rather the venue itself and the experiences that could be had at this street fare style setup they created. It was a striking venue to photograph and I am sure it will be something many other guests will see and request for when they book with the conference grounds! Thank you to Alex, Crystal, and the whole team for a fun evening of photography in a dynamic setting.
Interior Event Venue Photography showing off Asilomar Conference Grounds
This was my first opportunity to make interiorevent photos at the nearby Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove focusing on the setups and venue spaces themselves. This was the first of three nights in a row, all within a different space on the grounds, with this one being in Crocker Hall and a country theme to the food and venue presentation. The fireplace was a focal point, as well as the hay bales used for display and even seating! I used a variety of photography styles from typical wide angle shots, to shallow DoF (depth of field) shots, to even a long exposure letting the people “ghost” out of the shot, allowing a photo to be used to show the venue rather than actual guests, while still showing guests in the space without identifying them.
I cannot help but feel a part of the Pacific Grove Holiday Light Parade because the staging of it takes place right on my street right in front of my house! So all I have to do is walk out my front door to see the start of the parade action. I took my camera along the route entrance to get some unique views, as well as up top from a bird’s eye viewpoint.
