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.
Toby and Hilla’s wedding was absolutely fantastic, and a great pleasure to shoot. Everything went smooth, the setting was gorgeous, the live music and the food were superb. Nestledown is one of the most stunning venues I’ve shot at, Brooke and her staff were awesome. Leo Brasil (usagoiania (at) hotmail.com) played some great music during the reception, and also provided the soundtrack for the slideshow. Continental Catering , was also fantastic and Michael did a great job. There are more images on the way, as well as an album.
Here is a video from Matt’s proposal to Meghan. I am all done with the images, and these are the best ones from the proposal, photo walk, and family brunch.
Miguel made this great video from the engagement shots I sent him. It was a pleasant surprise to see my work put together in a slideshow. We had a great time during the shoot, and despite the rain (or because of it), the photos came out very beautiful and unique. Miguel used the “Umbrella” song covered by John Peter West. I use John’s music on my wedding photography site, More info on John West: http://www.johnpeterwest.com/
Sarah and Erik are going to make a great addition to my soon to be released wedding website. They are a great couple from Petaluma. Both of them are into fitness, and make quite easy subjects to photograph. In addition to the couple shots, they asked me to take a few fitness shots. I was not sure what fitness shots entailed, but it was not long untill I figured it out. My friend Neela was on hand to hold my lights and make sure that the camera gear did not get wet. Also, notice the logo on the images. Created for me by a friend, Nadia, who updates her blog a lot more often than I do.
Vlad and Monica got married in July at a more or less traditional Jewish wedding. The ceremony was very simple and calm, which made my life a lot easier. I had Ben 2nd shoot with me, and he did an awesome job. Just gave this wonderfull couple their images today, and decided to blog it. Album is in the works. Here are a few images, click on an image to go to the gallery.
This couple turned out to be pretty fun as they warmed up to my unobtrusive style of shooting. Initialy I had to give them specific instructions on how to pose, and I had to remind them to be patient. After making a wine pitstop at a North Beach coffee shop things got a lot better. Here is the first batch from the day.
