Jen + Alex + San Francisco = Amazing Images

April 1, 2010

Jen and Alex were the first wedding I shot this year and if they are any indication of the kinds of couples and images to come my way this year it will be a rad year of photography for me. Just look at these two…

I have to say I got pretty lucky with these two. Between their choice of locations – holy smokes San Francisco are you kidding me? and their sense of style it was hard NOT to get great images.

Thanks so much Jen and Alex for choosing me to be your photographer and giving me the opportunity to capture some amazing images.

Jen + Alex

March 30, 2010

So tonight (Tuesday 03/30) Jen and Alex are revealing to their friends and family that they sneaked off to San Francisco and got hitched … Shush! Keep it under your hat until this evening.

To be honest I think it has got out a bit. I’ve been getting some visits from OZ on the blog. Which is great cause I will travel anywhere for a wedding (hint, hint).

At any rate I don’t think any thing says “Ta Da we sneaked off and got hitched in San Fran” like this image.

Enjoy. More to come.

Jen + Alex: Black & White

March 29, 2010

When I edit I do three things… I keep in my heart the feeling I had while interacting with the people I photograph, I cue up songs on iTunes that “fit” the day/the couple, and I try to develop a few different edits that just “work” for the images. I always have an idea, before a shoot, what I want the images to look like, how I want them to feel.

For Jen and Alex I developed a post production that mimicked some one of my favorite black and white films I shoot with when shooting street photography. Following are a few images as a result of that process.

Bay Area Photographer: Jen + Alex: Just a little preview.

March 28, 2010

I will have more images soon, but I couldn’t resist posting this one. Jen and Alex skipped the usual wedding traditions and eloped in San Francisco. It was a long day with lots of traveling around on MUNI, a bus load of Japanese tourists who kept “uncle bobbing” my photoshoot, and did I mention we spent a lot of time on MUNI?

These two Brits were my first wedding of the year and if they are any indication of what this year holds I’m gonna have a killer year in images.

I only wish I had more time with these two. So entirely off beat in their approach to life. Such a different take on weddings. I have to admit I was a little unsure about an elopement. That little part of my brain that always worries about getting great images for the portfolio was worried that without a “traditional” wedding the shoot wouldn’t do much for my emerging business.

Boy was that a stupid thing to worry about. Yeah, yeah there wasn’t a ceremony or lots of little details to photograph that are so popular. But these two more than made up for it in flair and humor.

I love Jen’s dress. The “I DO” was their idea (thank you to what ever photographer they Bogarted that idea from). I take full credit for the “DO I.” The expressions were all Alex and Jen.

Bay Area Photographer: Favorite Couples Images

January 18, 2010

I have been rearranging images on my drives, backing up all the stuff from 09 and what not and there are so many images that I love I thought I would share a few for the next few days or so. Or maybe its cause I’m head over heals myself and seen these other couples on their wedding day makes me feel all squishy inside.

This is one of my all time favs. I just told Mitch and Steph to take a few steps back and do what comes natural…
