Engagement
Happy and Amy {A San Francisco Engagement}

Meeting and photographing Happy and Amy was one of those spur of the moment opportunities that drop into your lap unexpectedly and expand your horizons more than you could have imagined. Not since my beautiful wife’s brial shoot, back when my business was in its infancy, did I have an opportunity to photograph anyone clad [...]

Kelly and Ben {A San Jose Engagement}

So… do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again? In Kelly and Benjamin’s case, walking by again was simply not necessary. It was just as unnecessary to ask them to smile. In fact, it was nearly impossible to wipe the grin off either one of their faces during the [...]

Elizabeth and Andy {Engaged in Cupertino, CA}

Elizabeth and Andy met in church less than a year ago. It did not take long for them to realize that they were made for each other. A few wonderful months later Andy got on one knee and proposed in a gazebo surrounded by white roses. (Yep, the same one you’ll see in the photos.) [...]

Denzyl and Shannon’s Day in South Bay

My brother and sister-in-law came to visit this weekend. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and the blooming cherry trees. Here are a handful of our favorite photos from the day.

Christina & Jerry {Engaged in San Francisco}

I met Christina and Jerry at the Caffe Greco. It was my first time at this cafe, and it felt genuinely “San Francisco” – vintage posters, sliding windows, great lattes, and sweet deserts. We talked about how they met and shared our relationship theories. We started the engagement shoot by taking a few photos inside [...]

Mellanie and John {Engaged in San Jose}

I love them! Really, I do. There was jumping, dancing, flirting, kissing, kung fu fighting, and everything in between. Everyone had a blast. Mellanie and John have such great chemistry going, it’s an absolute pleasure to be around them. We strolled the streets of downtown San Jose and took advantage of all the picturesque places [...]

Mariela and Robert {Engaged in Mountain View}

Robert and Mariela have those heart-warming, grin-inducing love stories – they are High School Sweethearts. One doesn’t have to spend much time with them to see the love and respect present between them, and it was a pleasure capturing it “on film”. We started off in Mountain View, then relocated ourselves to the San Jose [...]

Mitch and Natalie {Engaged in San Francisco}

It’s been waaaaay too long since we spent some quality time at the Golden Gate park in San Francisco. It is such a beautiful park. It’s liveliness reminded me of Central Park, back in NY, where I have to admit I didn’t spend enough time either. When we got there, Mitch and Natalie were romancing [...]

Kyle and Veronica {Engaged in San Jose}

We were starting our new jobs at Mercury Interactive on the same day, and were the only two people at the “orientation” meeting. Kyle and I have been friends ever since. He always struck me as a sensible and respectable guy, and when Nicole and I got to meet Veronica, we were happy that he [...]

Max & Alexis in a Tilt Shift World

Our lovely friends Max & Alexis came over and brought a new lens for me to play with. The incredible TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II. Brand new, this lens is worth a small fortune, but you can rent it from BorrowLenses.com for just a fraction of the cost. In fact, if you happen to be into [...]
