We just had our second bridal fair of the year, and it was amazing. Got to meet some great couples and had a pretty good overall presence. The Westin’s loading zone was super convenient, and it was a quarter of the trip we had to make at the first show. My team for this show included Lina, Chelsea and Mike. We were rocking and rolling in our little corner. Everyone loved the books, and we had some brides that stayed well over 20 minutes. The feedback and the connections we received were fantastic. Kimberly and her team from International Wedding Festival put on a great show. Our next show is with Modern Bridal on Feburary 28th, at the Concourse Pavilion in San Francisco. Here are some photos from our booth.
I had the pleasure of shooting little Parker and her family. Her mom bid on a photo shoot with me at a George Marks Children’s House silent auction. I felt really good about giving to the organization, since they do an amazing job helping families during some of the toughest times imaginable. I did not hear from the winner for a long time, and then one day the phone rang and we set up a shoot. My approach to this shoot was no different than a bridal couple, and I just let things unfold in front of me, capturing genuine emotion in a natural way. The resulting shots were fantastic, and I got another 5 star yelp review from it.
Eric contacted me to get some head shots and body shots done for his modeling portfolio. We had a great shoot, with 3 looks and 3 locations including Oyster Point Marina and the Embarcadero. Hopefully Eric will get some modeling work soon.
I had the immense pleasure of shooting for the American Bach Soloists again. They were a fantastic referral from the Grace Cathedral, when I photographed an American Bach Soloists concert last May. This was the first time I worked directly with their organization, and I hope it was not the last. It was a fantastic shoot, since every member of the orchestra was on board with the shoot. They worked as a team during the photo shoot, just as much as they do in concert. I got to take a few group shots and a photo session with the director, Jeffrey Thomas.
This was a fantastic couple to work with, especially great since it was a 15 hour shoot. Their friends were easy going and everyone ended up having a good time. The day started off at 8AM with trips to both parents homes for the tea ceremonies. The marriage ceremony took place on the Sherman, a boat/restaurant permanently stationed in Burlingame. The reception took place at Gold Mountain restaurant. The place was packed with 600 guests, and with servers bringing out food for 60 tables it was a mad house at times. I was amazed that the lion dancers and the dragon all fit.
I am now a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association. WPJA is one of the highest professional photography associations, accepting only members who demonstrate great work, with a high percentage of photojournalistic type shots, capturing the special moments in an unobtrusive way.
The wedding was very relaxed and fun. Being friends with the bride and groom helped keep the stress down, and the whole thing was mostly fun. It was the first time I was a guest as well as a photographer at a friend’s wedding, and it worked out well. The venue was Highland Country Club in Oakland. Great catering by Devoted Catering Enjoy the Video.
