I know I said my new website was coming. But picking images are so hard. Now that my last wedding is done and the Holidays are now over I am now ready to go over the final step to publishing my new site. I swear it will be worth the Look.
Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you all have a great day and enjoy your family's. My new site is coming real soon. I will keep you posted. ok.
I am sorry that i started off strong on my blogs and then it has disappeared. Well the Problem was me trying to get weddings to my people and that i am so desperately trying to get my new site up and running. I am not kidding when I say that I have worked on it every night for about 3 hours a night for over a month now. Building your own site is hard. I would hate to do it for a living. Now I know why websites cost so much. So I do promise to get my blogs in better after my site is up. OK
Diana & Brian's Trash the Dress shoot.
Well i wanted to thank Michele for including me in this Trash the Dress shoot. Well i walked in on this shoot totally blind. Meaning i did not know the Couple, the make up artist and locations. This was Michele's Shoot and i was a tag along and i loved it. I'm always sick of doing the planning, scheduling and time line. So i got there and everyone was so nice. Spent the next 4 hours walking around searching for locations on one great night in the city. Diana (the Bride) looked awesome. Brian (the groom) was a trooper. In full suit on such a nice day. Salina you did a incredible job on the Make up, Thanks so much. I know that there are more images that are worthy of posting but due to my hectic schedule I knew i had to throw a few out at everyone or i would be in trouble. So until get the rest done, Here you go and thanks for letting me come along.
Anar & Dan's Wedding
Well looks like one of my favorite Couples are on one of the most famous Blog site for Modern Indian Weddings. ~MAHARANI...the modern Indian wedding blog~. I am so excited for them. What an awesome couple. I met Anar in the City a while back and wanted this Wedding from the start. After talking to her about a huge Tent from Raj Tents, An outside Wedding at Richard's Grove & Saralee's Vineyards and a fused wedding between two cultures. I was so ready for this challenge. So i got the call later that day and said they would love to have me as their Photographer. I was so excited. So later on she asked if it was OK with me that images from the Wedding could be published in one of the most famous Indian Wedding blogs in the United States. I had to think about it....yea right. Of course i said yes. So now it is up and posted. Check out the article and my images. It's only part one so more to come. Also enjoy some more images from there Wedding as well. Congratulations Anar & Dan. Michele and I are so happy for you both. 
Doing things for friends.
Isn't it weird how people come in to your life and stay to be great friends. And what a better way than to have them want you to be the one to photograph there special day. Catie & Marty. Catie I have known for years now and we have become great friends. We are kind of like sister and brothers. I pick on her like I do my sister and talk smack as well. Marty I have heard about every time I see Catie. Seeing one person change and be so happy. It was so awesome to see. Now since I never met Marty before I really didn't know how I felt. So I asked Catie about him. So she said this, " Oh my god, you two are just alike. He loves Cigars, he's got tattoos up & down his legs like you and you both get on my nerves the same". I knew then I loved this man. lol. But the smile I haven’t seen on her in a long time made me so happy for her. So since they did have me booked for next year to do the wedding. Things got out of Hand for them both. Tragedy struck them both. So trying to deal with wedding plans and then having this happen to them they decided to just Elope. So i get a call from Catie asking me what I’m doing in a couple weeks. I told her my schedule. She broke that there Eloping and going to San Francisco City Hall for there wedding. They decided to do this alone....and me of course. So on the wedding day I finally got to meet the man, the myth the legend…Marty. Have to say that we did hit it off. Found out his tattoo artist is the same person I go to. So I’m thinking if this guy golfs then I might have to move in. He was just one great guy. Honestly he was perfect for Catie. So we went and they got married. If I wasn’t running around trying to get people out of my shots I think I would have had tears in my eyes. Does sweat count? So it was awesome. Those two afterwards were my models. Loved every minute doing it. Had a great time. Got to know Marty. So afterwards we were driving back and were hungry (Catie is going to hate me) so we got In & Out Burgers. I so should have gotten Catie eating a burger in her dress. But couldn't do it. So we got back and I was about to leave when Marty hands me a bag with some Killer Cigars. Lets just say I can’t tell you where they are made. Honestly I would only smoke these if my team won a world championship. And doesn’t look like I will be smokin any soon.
Heather and Graham
Once in a life time CONCERT!
Once in a life time CONCERT!
When i first talked to Heather and Graham they said this wedding was going to be a bit different. They were not kidding. Heather is a Jazz Singer and one incredible Chef. So when we talked she said that there reception would be at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. If you have never been there you have to go see this place. It opened in 1907. So since she is a Jazz singer she had made it a concert as well. She had Bands play like Joe Bagale and The Honeydrops. The Wedding would take place at Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate park. One awesome place as well. Then to make it all grand she got ready at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. So right now I'm thinking i owe them to photograph this trifecta. But it wasn't done. They had a double decker bus take people from Hotel to Wedding then Wedding to Reception. All while giving a tour on the way. So it was set. I was there Photographer. I could not wait to do this. So the day finally arrived. Heather wore a Vintage 1920s Wedding dress. She looked absolutely Amazing. Graham wore a old style black tux. It was like i was dropped into the 1920s with a digital camera. My assistant Michele Beckwith came with me on this one. She shot amazing. So from the time we got there to the time we left it was a none stop photo fest.Heather got on stage and sang. What a voice. In the images i posted i am sorry for there being so many. I am not kidding it was so hard to narrow it down. Well Heather and Graham i have to say that it was one great Wedding.
