Walking away
Seeing a lot of the work of the wondeful photographers we have as part of Orange, I realize there’s something about the ‘walking away’ shot of the just married couple that has this special energy to it. I’ve seen lots of great ones that Jack has taken, and when I was editing my most recent wedding, I liked this particular shot…
Our beautiful city
Tonight I shot a private event at the Hotel Vitale and the view there is really nice especially at dusk. I took this shot of the Ferry Building and was pleased with how it turned out. Over the weekend and tonight I’ve been reminded of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city as San Francisco.
Future Assistants
These two kids were asking me all sorts of questions about my job during a wedding this weekend. I love how kids keep asking why and it’s nice because it makes you actually think about the answer to that question.
Red is the new… orange?
Orange Photography wedding photographer Vasna Wilson had her shot of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in today’s San Francisco Chronicle. Check out more of Vasna’s great wedding photography here. I’m also 99% sure that’s our friend and fellow photographer Drew Altizer there right behind the mayor with his back to us…
Stanlee Gatti’s brain…
So I shot the Artists Ball at Yerba Buena and it was a party aptly titled Stanlee’s Brain in honor of event presario Stanlee Gatti. There were tons of folks on hand including Lars Ulrich of Metallica, actress Connie Nielsen, Willie Brown (da Mayor), current mayor Gavin Newsom, Billy and Vanessa Getty and plenty more. Since I shot it for the Chronicle’s new SFIS section, I can’t post anything except this shot that Jessica Mullens took of [...]
7×7 Magazine Hot 20 Party

Colin Powell
General Colin Powell spoke at the salesforce.com Dreamforce ’06 conference as the key note this week and we covered it. He also talked to some kids from the area and they stumped him here with some questions. General Powell was promoting socially responsible citizenship and America’s Promise which he does a lot of work for.
Professional Photographer magazine features Orange!
So Professional Photographer magazine featured one of the Orange crew in their “It Happened to Me” section in the October 2006 issue. There’s a photo of Melissa Froio and the story of how the image came to be. Check it out at your local Border’s or other newsstand!
Little Lola…
This little cutie was so much fun to photograph. Not only did she love the camera but her little personality was so positive and easy to work with. Photographing kids is not always such a breeze 🙂
Classical City Hall
I finally got the chance to shoot in city hall (without being a civil ceremony) and undoubtedly, one of the most glorious venues to capture the art of photojournlistic wedding photography…
