Preston Castle Shoot - 04/11/2009 - Ione, CA

The first ever "photographers day" hosted by the "Haunted" Preston Castle in IONE, CA (where?) was invaded by about a dozen northern California wedding photographers. The other people there that day didn't stand a chance. The day started off at the castle where we spent every minute there they would allow us to. After they kicked us out (gotta close sometime) we moved on to some other interesting local scenery and continued to shoot..and why not? Beautiful dresses were provided for the day and more importantly beautiful models to wear them with a full hair and makeup treatment...so we were going to take full advantage. This was not your ordinary shoot. What an incredible day. A Huge thank you to everyone involved. A special thanks to Tinywater Photography (Caroline and Daniel) for putting it all together.

Also special thanks to the models, makeup artists, and everybody else involved. These events are not only a ton of fun but great learning experiences for everybody. An opportunity to hone your craft if you will. Put simply, it was awesome.
