A sun filled meadow on a perfect day for these two to get married. More to come, but for now, enjoy!
A bright sunshiny day at Baker Beach. The weather was warm and the sky was perfect and clear. Priya & Rahul showed up with their family, and his family on Skype, of course. He read his vows on a typed up piece of paper and her, an iPhone. It was sweet, simple and lovely. I got a chance to speak to the father of the bride. It was a pretty big day, the first of his three daughters was getting married. I know when that day comes for Sam to give Xeniah away, it's going to be crazy.
Enjoy these two lovebirds.
Awww, I've been DYING to blog this one. Thank you comcast for sending out your 4 finest technicians and 11 new modem/routers and still leaving us with no wifi. Moving right along...Have I told you how much I freaking love that this is my job??? Esme and I arrived at the posh Clift Hotel to meet Cassie and Ryder. We had a morning of hair and makeup goodness, followed by some whiskey sampling. I must say Wyoming (or was it Wisconsin?) makes a delish whiskey goodness. *Just a taste, didn't want her lashes to get glued to the wrong place you know?
Her dress was a beautiful BCBG art deco dress that made her look like bronze goddess. We topped her outfit with a messy side bun, with loose tendrils and a smokey neutral eye.
Ryder looked like the freakin' man with his pink tie. He owned it.
Well enough talking, here are some of the images from their day.

This girl's smile can light up a room. It sounds cheesy and cliche, but while I was culling through these to edit them, I literally found myself smiling back at the screen. I feel it's a great honor to be chosen to photograph someone, but when it's someone who is used to be BEHIND the lens, it's an even greater honor.
Anyhow, enjoy Claire and her infectious smile. I hope you leave this page a little bit happier :)

It was a workshop unlike any other that I have been to. Also, a team unlike any other I have been a part of. You see, I've been a cheerleader (or as I like to say it, Che-leeduh Hun-nay), I've even been part of the drama team in school (lip sync anyone?), but this time I got to meetup with a group of crazy talented photographers and videographers, and we will be part of the Fusion Moments Media team.
A few of the things that stuck with me were the recommendation to watch some films by Kar Wai Hong, whose lighting style is something that is inspiring me to do some crazy cinematic couples shoot/video. (Now accepting applications for hot couples!)
(Still from In the Mood for Love)
Aside from all the awesome videos we got to see (Russian photo/videographers fist fighting at a wedding), we got to setup a story and photograph and film it.
My team consisted of two other guys, and we decided to make our couples film into a comedic style wedding day. (Well, as much as we could with 20 mins to brainstorm and film)
Here are some of the photos from our shoot.
