Carly & Lucas :: X & O

In grade school I got a love note from a girl named Marla, my first ever I think. After smelling the note that was undoubtedly sprayed with her moms perfume I opened the origami package it came in, (raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about) I read it red cheeks. Not only did this Marly have a "DEEP" affection for yours truly, she also had the coolest last name a 3rd grader was allowed to have. Signed directly after "Marly" was "XOXOXOXOX". It was a few days later in an attempt to find out what Country one had to be from to have such a cool last name that I also learned X's & O's weren't just the 15th and 24th letters in the alphabet.

Carly & Lucas, may the wedding be awesome and many X's and O's fill your lives. Thank you for having me shoot the upcoming wedding. I ask that your balance with me be paid in helium filled gold balloons with letters spelling H-A-S-S-A-S for all the fans of our photography to have. We will then do a simultaneous send off on my birthday.

Deal?

Happy Friday Blogger followers.

Bay Area Engagement Photographer :: Elena & Brian

When talking to a couple about a potential backdrop for their engagement session, I REALLY do try and listen. Things that were important to these guys was that it had some urban decayed and graff, (part of Brian's youth). This session had attitude. I loved it. Grats to Elena & Brian on the engagement. Wedding coming pretty quick. Lets do this.

Think I'll be blogging everyday this week. :)

Wedding in NYC :: Catherine & Ariel

Catherine & Ariel sitting in a tree.......


Few months back I had the pleasure of shooting in NYC. Their engagement session pics were so fun to shoot. Can't explain how cool this city is. I describe it as non-hippie-San-Fran. So much charm. Wonderful group of family members were there to help celebrate and the bridal party was up for anything as always. Thanks for having me guys. Was a real pleasure.

Had the company of 2 really awesome gentlemen while I was there. Jeff Mosier was second shooter for this one, (about 5 of his images can be viewed below) and as assistance I had the help of Allan, (whose engagement session I had the pleasure of shooting while I was down here). You guys are a class act. Made a great team.

Thanks for the look folks. Happy Tuesday.
