Will and Angie - Stern Grove Wedding Photography

It was that most impossible to predict of things: a sunny San Francisco summer day. Will and Angie had resigned themselves to whatever kind of weather they might get: fog, clouds, drizzle, they didn't care. The important thing was to have an amazing day.

And have an amazing day they did, but with a special guest, the sun! It was a gorgeous warm day that turned into a lovely balmy evening in Stern Grove. And Will and Angie got married under redwoods among family and good friends.

One of my favorite things about Will and Angie was their laid-back attitude before the wedding and during it. Everything ran smoothly - we were ahead of schedule for much of the day! But even if it hadn't, I knew they would encounter any blip with grace and equanimity. Angie had her priorities straight as well - rather than spend a ton of time getting ready, she stayed home and watched the Colombia vs Uruguay World Cup match, and Colombia won! Talk about a good omen.

I just loved her dress and her veil. Timeless elegance.

Meanwhile, the guys enjoyed a shot of liquid courage before things got started.

And then it was time for the ceremony.

And a little post-ceremony relaxation.

I just love the way they are with each other. So sweet.

Will and Angie, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your wedding. It was a true honor. I know you'll have a long and happy marriage together!

Experimenting with Double Exposures

A couple of double exposures (in Photoshop) from a recent wedding. I have to say, I've never really been enamored of double exposures, but I think that's because I usually see them in color and then it seems like there is way too much going on. In black and white I'm intrigued by the possibilities to tell a wider story than one image can usually tell.

What do you think? Double exposures, yea or nay?

San Francisco Stern Grove Wedding - Ed and Barrie

A year ago today, I watched Ed and Barrie get married. Being a wedding photographer is always an honor; you get the inside track on the wedding day, and you get to spend all day with the bride and groom, even 'behind-the-scenes,' as it were.

Well, let me tell you, this wedding was even more special than usual. Not only are Ed and Barrie both the type to light up a room with their huge smiles and offbeat sense of humor, they can also cut up a dance floor like no others and have an apparently limitless capacity for fun.

So yeah, it was a great wedding.

Can I just say that I love succulents? If Evan and I had ended up having flowers at our wedding (we're weird and had fruits and vegetables instead), I was poised to go with succulents. They're just so awesome!

Also, there were signs. Stupendous signs.

See what I mean about those smiles?

This band was just off-the-hook.

Tacos: best wedding food ever.

Ed and Barrie, there's no need to tell you how amazing the day was, or how perfectly the two of you suit each other, because you've been told a million times by now. But thank you so much for choosing me to capture your day; I had the time of my life doing it.
