These two are so cute together and we had a fun time in North Beach for their engagement shoot.  I’m really looking forward to their wedding as they have so much warmth between the two of them.  I used to be a bit ambivalent about engagement shoots but have found they are a great way to try new things.  Most couples probably […]

San Francisco At Night
I am privy to a lot of fantastic city views as someone who gets to shoot in a variety of venues. And what a beautiful city we live in! I’m so lucky to live here.

or in this case, alley… I feel like the only times I end up in a photo that my assistant shoots during a wedding happens to be when I’m on the ground and this was one that Gavin Farrington, who was assisting me at Prudence and David’s wedding, caught.  The girls were dancing in the alley and I also saw this and was shooting the reverse […]

I’ve always loved the Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera and finally found one in great condition on eBay so bidded on it and won.  I had been saving some Impossible Project Fade to Black Film 10/09 film just to use with this and did a personal project with it to see how it’d turn out.  Of course with expermental film like Fade To Black you never know […]

Julia & Kevin’s Wedding at Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club

Julia and Kevin were married at the charming Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club, a lovely Bernard Maybeck structure surrounded by redwood trees. It’s like a secret garden/oasis in downtown Mill Valley! These two share a love of their families, football, and good food. Their wedding day coincided with both of Julia’s nieces birthdays (who are adorable sisters), so it was a big ole celebration and they made sure to make them […]
