I had the luxury of shooting a wedding in one of my favorite settings.
Outdoors with rolling green hills and blue sky.
The earliest indicator that this shoot would kick ass was the drive up there.
One of the prettiest drives I have ever taken. Calm, surreal. Was it striking exotic? No. It was the simple beauty of it. Not much to describe. Green hills, trees. No waterfalls, no faces of cliffs that are seemingly miles high.
If I were to pick a "dream" place to live, this would be at the top.
Description. From Southern California. Take the 101 N to the 154. When you hit Los Olivos (a really cool little town) take the Figueroa Mountain Pass Rd and keep going till your hearts content.
Awesome.
Be sure to check out the vista lookouts near Lake Cachuma. There are a few. If you have about 30 minutes to spare. Take Stagecoach Rd and head down the mountain. Then when you get to the bottom near the tavern, look up. Cool view of the bridge you just went over.
Other activities, bike riding, hiking, wine tasting, golfing.

Share yours.
-EDIT-Oh, BTW...Highway 154 is littered with CHP cars on radar duty. Don't even think about it. At that wedding, three guests had tickets to remember the event with.
Might want to save the spirited driving for it's artery roads.
