Wonderful people + wonderful location = wonderful photos! I am very excited to share these with you and tell you all about how they were made. An overcast, semi-gloomy day made this photo shoot an excellent time to experiment with the other kind of “available light” – the flash. As many of you might know [...]

In Happy and Amy, Part I, I described and showcased Amy’s getting ready process. In Part II, the last part, you’re going to see how the rest of the wedding played out. After getting in her brother’s red Mercedes, Amy headed to The Sikh Gurdwara in San Jose. With the bride hidden out of sight [...]

It was a beautiful wedding, and I am grateful to Happy and Amy for hiring me even though they had two sets of photographers already booked to do the job. My assignment: photograph the wedding in the non-traditional style. Only a handful of things can be more flattering to a photographer than a client saying, [...]

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 [...]

Every once in a while I have the pleasure of being a “second shooter” at Rhee Bevere‘s weddings. It never fails that her clients turn out to be wonderful, welcoming people, much like Rhee herself. Adam and Kelly were not an exception to that rule, and even though they have not met me prior to [...]

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 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.) [...]

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.

I’d like to thank the families that gave me the privilege of capturing their holiday photos this year. Here are a handful of photos from the last few weeks – I hope you enjoy them. If you’ve procrastinated, it’s okay, it isn’t too late to schedule a session with me. Happy Holidays!!!

It is time for you, my dear friends, to fall in love all over again. I dare you to look through these photos and not smile. I dare you not to be infected by the energy. I dare you not to be inspired by the love in Mellanie and John’s eyes. I dare you not [...]
