Hyphen Magazine Summer Party

SF-based Hyphen Magazine is blowing up 111 Minna next Friday with a big ol summer party to celebrate the release of the Family Issue. Orange has some portraits in there for their feature on unconventional families. As their newbie director of photography, I’m excited to be developing more photo stories and bringing photography to the print publication sphere. Get your party face on, we’ll see you next Friday.

We’ve been shooting various festivities and afterparties for Frameline33, the annual LGBT film festival. These are great to shoot, many fanciful characters and photo savvy folk. The film line up is solid. I love documentaries in particular and there are a bunch I wouldn’t mind checking out (these two look pretty captivating Off and Running and The Good American). The festival ends Sunday 6/28.

Tamar and Brian’s Fog of Love

Here comes the fog (which is actually the most flattering light in photography, folks; don’t miss the sun too much) and here comes the bride.  A beautiful ceremony in the Shakespeare Garden in our local Golden Gate Park, featuring our favorite color, brings about the union of Tamar and Brian photographed by Jake and Myleen.  Check it out:

So I’ve never been a fan of the wedding family shots, but have tried to do things that are less formal and more interesting.  I would say this is my most challenging portion of a wedding since my style is much more documentary than directed/staged.  This was a shot of mine from a recent wedding and luckily we had some time so […]

Tuesday at Chateau St. Jean

We were up in wine country last night to capture the awards ceremony for Great West Life at Chateau St. Jean. The big surprise of the evening, which we had to keep mum for the guests, was the band America taking the stage after dinner. I guess they’ve kept touring for decades, about 100 shows a year. Still going strong! They were real sweet at the VIP’s meet and greet.
