Pacific Grove annual The Little Car Show brings a big crowd in 2025
One of the benefits of living in downtown Pacific Grove is that many very cool events are just walking distance away. Such was the case today with The Little Car Show taking place just two blocks from both my photo studio and apartment. I really enjoyed this car show because it was not the usual kinds of cars you see at the average car show. Many cars I had never even heard of before, let alone have seen before. So many of the car owners started talking to me about their cars with such interesting stories and history with their cars. One person with a VW van took his now wife out on their first date in it. All these years later, he just finished restoring it with his daughter. What an amazing story it was! Thank you to all the car owners who came to Pacific Grove today!
Car event photography at Porsche of Monterey for Car Week 2025
This was my second time attending the car event held by Porsche of Monterey. For me, it kicks off Monterey Car Week 2025. This is a very large car event featuring Porsches from all eras and all generations. The event spreads out all over the dealership covering the entire lot, the service bays, and even closing a part of one of the main streets in town. It is a great event if you want to learn about the history of Porsche cars, or just walk around in the late afternoon sunshine daydreaming about driving one of these sports cars on the open road. Another first for me was getting to see a PTS Carrera GT!
Celebrating a new wedding venue grand opening in Pacific Grove California
What a wedding mixer event put on by the teams at Weddings in the Round and the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce! Such a great turnout with wide variety of people from every part of our local Pacific Grove community coming together and creating a great vibe all evening. There is now another option for a wedding venue and event space right here in Pacific Grove, and it is round! I can tell you for sure that the Weddings in the Round staff are very, very friendly and will welcome you warmly for any event or wedding you book there. Thank you to Gretchen and Annee for choosing me as your event photographer!
Exciting event photography at Monterey Aquatic Therapy Center in Pacific Grove
There was a huge turnout for the ribbon cutting event at Monterey Aquatic Therapy Center in Pacific Grove, California. The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce is so good at hosting these events. To me, capturing a ribbon cutting photo that has a lot of expressive reactions is my goal, and that goal was certainly achieved this time! Trisha and her team are high energy and their enthusiasm for the work they do is palpable. I am very glad to share another great community business and event itself and hope you come to the next one in Pacific Grove.
Ribbon Cutting Event for Love Thai Restaurant in Pacific Grove
As an ambassador for the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce I often attend ribbon cutting events helping out by making photos to help promote both the chamber, and the business itself having the ribbon cutting. Such was the case at Love Thai Restaurant in Pacific Grove, California. It is a chance for a local business to have their own big grand opening day, to celebrate the start of their business, and for the community to come out and show support. All that happened this evening at Love Thai! You do not have to be a chamber member to come out and attend one of these great events. Here is a list of upcoming events, like this ribbon cutting.
CSUMB Event Photography when everyone meets for the first time!
It was not just me for the first time meeting all the MBA graduates at CSUMB in Monterey California as I went there for event photography of their graduation ceremony, it was all the graduates first time meeting each other too because it was an entirely online program! So there was the extra excitement of seeing each other in person for the first time, as well as receiving their degrees at this special awards ceremony just for their online MBA program. All that made it a very fun and lively event to photograph first getting some candids as they arrived, then the ceremony photos, and then some group photos with each class getting their chance to celebrate in a group portrait out on the front steps of the very cool looking building entryway at CSUMB. Thank you to the team at CSUMB for choosing me as the photographer for this exciting event!
Ribbon Cutting Event for senior dog rescue benefit shop in Pacific Grove
Peace of Mind Dog Rescue is an organization I noticed right away after moving to Pacific Grove, California. I have since donated many things to them. In addition to their animal rescue for senior dogs, they opened up a benefit shop recently in downtown. I was happy to see the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce was holding a ribbon cutting event for their shop, that was a fun event for human and canine alike!
