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 […]
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 […]
So one of the things we’ve heard that folks are interested in is more behind-the-scenes and diagrams etc of how we shoot and create the images we do for our clients. This shot shows one of the rooms that we had to use for some business portraits. A lot of the time space constraints are some of the biggest challenges we have so you […]

Our next book cover is for Dangerous Curves, a collaboration with a long time friend, book designer and artist Pete Halverson whom I went to high school with. I worked with Shawna Walker […]

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 joined […]
Recently, Zenfolio posted a blog entry where they interviewed me about event photography. It was fun talking to the Zenfolio team, whom we’ve developed a close relationship with since we use them for online hosting and sell prints and other photo-products through their service. They are a really solid platform and they have a great value proposition with lots of features always being added and it’s really […]
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 […]
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 […]
