San Francisco Engagement Photographer :: Melissa & Geoffrey

I wish I had a six pack........


Say hello to Melissa & Geoff folks. You'll notice our session had lots of SF in it. WHY? He proposed there! Matter of fact, the leading image was about 3 minutes walking from where Geoff actually proposed. Aawwwwww. Wedding is going to be at Delta Breeze Club at Travis Airforce Base and is looking to be an epic day. YAY FOR US!!

Got a couple more blogs posts in store before the week is out. Stay tuned friends. Oh......new website coming REAL soon. I'm busting at the seams with excitement. :D

San Fransisco Engagement Photographer :: Kathryn & Eric

Animal puns in 3.....2......


This session was just a barrel of monkeys. Kathryn and Eric were the love birds. It was their idea to come to the S.F. Zoo for the engagement session. We went wild. Bearly able to contain ourselves with all the ideas the place had to offer. What a hoot these two are, seriously, we had a roaring good time.

Thanks a lot you animals. ;)

San Jose Wedding Photographer :: Janell & Oleg

If I wasn't a photographer, I'd most likely be a cage fighter.

I'm comin Brock.......I'm comin.



Hello bloggians! Monday never looked so good. Up for viewing is Janell & Olegs wedding! The wedding was at the VERY nice, Mission Church at Santa Clara University, (you have to be alumni to get married there) and the reception was at Villa Ragusa in Campbell. This place reminded me of where my wife and I were married almost.....wait for it.......10 years ago.

Congrats guys! May life bring many truckloads of awesome!

Big thanks to 2 dudes for helping me out on this one. First, Jared for being second shooter and Mike Villa for helping as assistant. Mike was in town doing a video shoot for me, (you gotta see this thing, just a few more days). After the wedding we all had a cage fight in-which I came out as victor......always

Happy Monday.
