New Member Orientation with the PG Chamber was a huge meet and greet!
The second New Member Orientation event of the year held by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce nearly tripled in size! It’s a great event where new members, and old, can really learn what the chamber can offer a local PG business. As an ambassador for the chamber, I attended welcoming the new members, and of course, as a professional photographer, brought my camera to help out the chamber by making photos of everyone holding fun “I’m In” signs. If you are a PG chamber member new or old, be sure and check out the next one!
Ferrari Owners line up Ocean Ave in Carmel for Monterey Car Week 2025
Another car show event for Monterey Car Week 2025 today. This time I went to Carmel for Prancing Ponies on Ocean Ave. The main street down the heart of Carmel is Ocean Ave, and indeed ends right at the ocean. The beach was not the center of attention today though, it was a lineup of Ferrari cars from across the generations to the latest 12 cylinder GT car, to classic racing cars from the 50s. I even got to see my personal favorite, the 458 Speciale Aperta. None of the Ferrari Big 5 (now 6) nor the Daytona SP3 which was disappointing though. Still, the sun was out and it was a beautiful afternoon for viewing fast and beautiful Italian sports cars!
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.
