Prop 8 Overturned!

2017-07-25T15:33:56-07:00By |Categories: News, Point of View|Tags: , , , |


We at Orange were happy to hear that Prop 8 was overturned today! What a great victory. We remember back in the fall of 2008 when so many same sex couples came to us to document their marriages in the hopes of having their ceremonies before the November 4th vote. Jack & Jennie were actually married on November 4th, 2008 at City Hall and […]

SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) has been one of our favorite clients over the past ten years. They recently brought us in to cover another one of their Family Day events. We always appreciate how SFMOMA provides family activities influencing San Francisco’s artistic culture (and the kids always have a blast too!). Target was a great sponsor for the event and a pleasure to work […]

What’s in your bag: Gene X Hwang

2017-07-25T15:33:57-07:00By |Categories: Event, Point of View|Tags: , , |

People are often fascinated by the gear we carry and I know a ton of photographers who are total gearheads.  I admit that I also enjoy seeing what gear other photographers are using although ultimately it’s more the eye and creativity from the mind that matters more than what you are using.  That being said, there are a lot of cool and […]

Take a sneak peak […]

Printing Onsite – what gear to use?

We get asked a lot about onsite printing, and at several presentations I’ve given in the past the first question is almost inevitably “what gear do you use?”  Of course photographers are often very interested in gear, and ever since the advent of digital and the advances in technology in general, the gear seems to change at an ever faster rate.  Since it’s important to ourselves and […]

Ayaka & Ryo – Japanese wedding details

Ayaka and Ryo
Ayaka and Ryo are from Japan. They planned everything for their Bay Area wedding while overseas, so the first time I met them in person was just an hour before they said “I do!” This ended up working out just fine because I developed an instant crush on them and luckily for me, they let me stalk them for the next couple of hours =).

They had a very intimate ceremony, […]
