Melissa & Victor :: Engaged :: 06.18.10
Melissa is the sister of a past bride and actually booked me before her sisters wedding so I got to know her and Victor pretty well before we got to do our session. Melissa had gone on Google looking for places for the engagement pics and she just happened to stumble upon Sausalito. They had never been there and I had never shot there so it made for a great adventure and a very fun day.
Having Melissa and Victor in front of my camera is a lot of fun, especially once they get warmed up. They have so much personality and just love being around each other! Once we got going I just told them to stand somewhere and talk, then I would fire off a bunch of frames. I got such natural emotion and lots of great laughs out of them, they are truly a testament of what an engaged couple should act like! They are getting married in another water front community so I cant wait to see what we can come up with there as well. No matter what I know they will be a lot of fun and will let their love fill the images! Enjoy the engagement pics and stay tuned for the wedding photos later this year!

Fashion photo shoot :: 06.18.10
A couple of months ago, an old friend contacted me asking if I would be interested in doing a Hair Fashion photoshoot for a contest she was entering. I had never shot "hair" as the main subject but thought I would give it a shot, and It was SO much fun! The model was a joy to work with and it was like doing an Americas Top Model shoot.
Fast forward to about a week ago and my friend contacts me again seeing if I could squeeze her in for another hair session. I made room in my schedule and we got her in. This shoot was even better than the last! Great colored hair, awesome clothes with lots of textures and colors, and our model was awesome too! I got to use a lot more of my backdrops and we even got to go out to Mare Island and do some more editorial shots before I had to rush off to my next shoot!
Thank you to Janette from La Chaise Rouge in Santa Rosa, CA for all the Hair, Make-up & Wardrobe! Always a pleasure to work with you!
The main emphasis for the shoot WAS the colors and the hair, but I couldnt help but play with some B&W to give these images a really nice older fashion magazine look! They tunred out to be some of my favorite images!

Elisa & Russell :: Married :: 05.29.10
So this wedding had a special meaning for me since it was on my anniversary! I couldnt be happier to be working with such a great couple, with amazing families on a day that I too was celebrating. Luckily I have a very supportive wife that didn't mind sharing me on our anniversary.
I met Elisa and Russell at their home after Elisa was referred to me by her Mothers neighbors. ( I shot the neighbors daughters wedding last August and I am shooting the sons wedding this October in Chicago!) From the first meeting everything was so much fun and I knew this was going to be a great wedding. We even got Russell to smile and enjoy himself as well. Watching these two amazing people throughout the day was such a joy and made us not want to stop taking their photo. The relationship they have is so genuine that you cant help but smile in their presence! Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your amazing wedding! Enjoy the images.
Venue: Flying Cloud Farm, Petaluma, CA

Kimberly & Dave :: Engaged :: 05.31.10
I was so happy I could get this session scheduled! With conflicting work schedules and the CRAZY weather we have been having, I thought we would never get to get outside and have this great shoot. Luckily we all were free on Memorial Day and the weather was PERFECT! The Jack London State Historical Park was a hiking favorite for the bride to be and served as such a wonderful place to get outside, have some fun and take some engagement pictures!
Kimberly and Dave are so pleasant to be around and they are so sweet on each other. This wasnt exactly Daves favorite thing in the world to do, but we pulled some fun out of him and he did great. Not only shining in front of the camera but he made his bride to be VERY happy and their great relationship showed though and made the images wonderful. Thank you goys so much for having me capture your relationship. I cant wait for the wedding, we are going to have a blast! Please enjoy the images.

Rachel & Themis :: Married :: 06.05.10
So I am posting a little bit out of order but I had these all ready to go so I figured I would post these now.
When I met Rachel & Themis it was a bit akward. We had gotten our communications crossed so we were waiting at 2 different Starbucks for 45min before we got a hold of each other and figured out we didnt flake, just got confused. Once we did meet up I was so happy we didnt miss each other. From the moment we started talking and getting to know each other I got more and more excited to work with them. Such a wonderful couple! My excitement grew when we did the engagement session. Their connection and feelings for each other were SO easy and natural to capture and they were just so excited to be going through this journey together. Such a pleasure to work with and the wedding was no different. Of course Rachel and Themis were amazing, but their families and friends were no different. From all the hospitality at Rachels parents house, to the great cultural ceremony and the great memories that were talked about in the speeches, it was just a WONDERFUL day! Please enjoy the images!
