I woke up at 8am this Sunday morning in order to capture a wedding proposal. Matt called just two days ago asking me if I am available to shoot, and I was. We communicated via text message in the morning, coordinating logistics of catching up with them at the Palace of Fine Arts. Once I made positive ID, I followed the couple, acting like a regular tourist with a couple of professional cameras, taking shots of PFA and the couple when Meghan was not looking in my direction. While Meghan was taking a photo of the ceiling of the PFA dome, Matt got on one knee behind her and took out the ring. When she turned around she was very surprised. She said yes. Matt introduced us, and the three of us ended up walking around the lake to take a few engagement snaps. They met up with family in the Marina. I am glad it worked out the way Matt intended, and very happy to provide them with some great images to treasure.
More images to come soon…

Sarah and Erik are going to make a great addition to my soon to be released wedding website. They are a great couple from Petaluma. Both of them are into fitness, and make quite easy subjects to photograph. In addition to the couple shots, they asked me to take a few fitness shots.  I was not sure what fitness shots entailed, but it was not long untill I figured it out. My friend Neela was on hand to hold my lights and make sure that the camera gear did not get wet.  Also, notice the logo on the images. Created for me by a  friend, Nadia, who updates her blog a lot more often than I do.

I got a few interior gigs lined up this month. I finished up one assignment of a very unique new spot in San Francisco. It has a maritime charm, drinks with absinthe and private liqour lockers. Designer’s name is Lauren Geremia who was on site to make the place look perfect.

My very good friend Debi Tonge got a comission piece from a guy named John who wanted a canvas painting of himself as a Spanish conqueror.  As odd as this sounds, it is actually very cool for someone to go out of their way to comission such amazing art these days. Debs asked me to help her photograph John at my studio, and somehow she actually managed to get an authentic outfit for him.  My job was very easy, Debs on the other hand had to spend over 50 hours on the actual painting. What I think is most amazing is the acuracy between what John looks like and how Debi painted him, here is the final painting and one of the photos I took.  Debi’s work can be found on creatingartmoods.com

Some of Debi’s work can be seen here:

What a great experience to go shoot at Coachella as well as party with friends. We went to the actual festival only 2 of the 3 days we were in Indio. Saturday was spent at the Anthem Magazine pool party named “La fiesta de fiestas”. What an experience, they had free flowing booze, food, girls and a donkey. There are two galleries for this one, Coachella photos and Anthem Magazine La Fiesta de fiestas pool party. Enjoy!
