Ali & Ian (Avila Beach Golf Course)

May 27th - 2012

Central Coast Avila Beach Golf Course wedding pictures of bride and groom hugging in front of trees Ali was one of my wife’s best friends in high school. We were guests at her wedding because my awesome associate, Alexandra, photographed the event. It was so weird to just being a guest so I brought my film camera and stole some pictures from my aisle seat! After family pictures I joined Alex on the back nine for portraits of the beautiful couple. I fired off a couple rolls of film, had a lovely dinner, and celebrated into the evening with fellow wedding guests on the dance floor. I busted out some of my signature dorky moves but we won’t be sharing any images of those. However, go to Alexandra’s blog for the full feature!

The Moore Family (Los Osos)

May 22nd - 2012

I LOVE the Moore family! Bryce & Harmony are old friends of mine from my college years. Bryce was one of the best roommates I’ve ever had and I had the honor of photographing their wedding several years ago. I was thrilled to capture what has grown since then. I shot these images on a Contax 645 with 120 Fujifilm.

Brittany & Dave (Santa Margarita Ranch)

May 9th - 2012

Santa Margarita Ranch, engagement photos of couple hugging under vines Brittany & Dave live with a million dollar view of Santa Margarita Ranch our their backdoor. We started off shooting them in their garden with their sweet Maltese pup; Zoe. Brittany loves it like it’s their baby! Then we cruised into the open fields and ventured over to the Constant Gardner nursery. I shot a couple rolls of 120 film through my new toy; a Contax 645. Having lots of fun waiting for the perfect moment and when everything is perfect snapping a couple film shots.

Here’s a little about their love story from Brittany’s perspective…
“Dave bought the gym I was teaching fitness classes in. We broke the ‘no-dating employees’ rule and had a bunch of secret dates throughout the county, ducking our heads if we saw anyone familiar. After just a couple weeks of dating, we knew it would be serious enough to let the news slip. Five years after our first date in Pismo Beach, where we talked on the sand until it was too dark to see each other, we are tying the knot, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring our families together and share our love with all of our friends.”

Sure of You Produced by Darren Clarke

May 4th - 2012

Sure of You – Produced by Darren Clarke from Cameron Ingalls on Vimeo.

Producer Darren Clark is one of the most generous musicians I know. He’s spent the past 10 years devoted to teaching musicians of all ages and levels of talent. He has taught over 1,000 students during that time through his school; Modern Music Academy. If you’ve been following my story you will know that Darren & Jessie’s wedding is what launched me into wedding photography as a career. I’ve talked about it before, but these guys hold a special place in my heart and life.

Recently Darren wanted to create music for my website so he assigned the task to his students. I shared with them a few songs that inspired me and fit the mood of my photography. I shared with them some insight into my branding. Darren sent the students off into different corners to create riffs, melodies, and lyrics. They gathered back together and someone had the perfect line or a catchy chord progression. Darren picked the best of their ideas and together they finished this song; Sure of You. It’s perfect!

As a thank you I filmed the recording process and promised them as soon as I can learn to edit video that I would do this for them. Really proud of all that Darren and Jessie have infused in musicians for the past decade and I’m so confident in my hope to see them continue to walk in their musical gifting for the next.

If you are a musician and want to work on your song writing skills sign up for Darren’s Song Writing and Music Production Class. This program is for Song writers (or those that want to be Song writers) who are SERIOUS ABOUT MUSIC and want to take an opportunity of a life time… Write & record in a real Production studio with a professional music Producer.

Thanks to these amazing students who had the courage to take on such a assignment and to deliver such a wonderful work of art. Love you guys!
