(Happy Recipe Shoot p.56) We are Josh and Sienna Armstrong, a husband and wife photography team from Santa Maria.
TRACKS
We use a Canon 5D and Canon 5D Mark II with prime lenses. We both got into photography after taking a course in high school. That’s about the only formal training we’ve had. We spend our weekends trying new things. We have been taking photos as a rewarding side job for the last 6 years. Our favorite things to shoot are weddings and nature scenes from our travels.
a l l e r t n e C x e l Fresno A Cen Cal Serenade Shoot p.20 & p.62 I was born in New Jersey but I grew up in California. I got into photography at an early age and continued to explore the art throughout my childhood and eventually pursued a Professional Degree in Photography. After college, I continued to learn and develop my own technique and style and settled on journalism and scenic photography as my primary subjects. With the advent of the digital camera, I was drawn to the ability to combine my technological background with my art. I currently use a Canon. I strongly believe in photography, not only as a fine art form, but more importantly as a method of communication.

Date Night
Enjoying the hip decor and intimate atmosphere, we sampled Cask & Cork’s fine wine selection as we munched on the baked goat cheese appetizer. Creamy and thick with a hint of tomato, the truffled goat cheese spread over flat bread slivers was a delightful snack! We then shared Cask & Cork’s popular short rib tacos. Loaded with southwestern flavor, the slow-cooked shredded short ribs are topped with corn cilantro and red pepper aioli sauce. The three crispy tacos were savory, a bit sweet, and the perfect snack for two! For my entree, I ordered the seared salmon salad. The large salmon filet, served over baby spinach with avocado corn salsa, was light and delicious. With strawberries, red onion, feta cheese, and a mandarin orange poppy seed dressing, this eclectic salad is perfect for lunch or dinner! He had the stuffed chicken breast, a tender chicken breast stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, prosciutto, basil, and asiago cheese. This dish was moist and delicious! We finished our meal with the bread pudding bites. These crispy-edged fluffy squares with baked in caramel chunks are pure deliciousness! They are topped with vanilla ice cream and Cask & Cork’s homemade caramel sauce. I highly recommend this dessert at any time. Cask & Cork also has a popular Sunday Brunch and will soon be showcasing live music! Their acoustic series “UNCORKED” will be on Wednesdays, with national touring acts as well as local talent! CCM
