Carly and Seth Engagement Session 6.19.10

genekosoy — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 18:12:50 +0000

After Denver I flew out to New York to do photograph my clients for a December wedding in the Dominican Republic. They are a really great couple, and I am very excited to photograph their destination wedding. I am glad I was able to come out for their engagement session, since it always takes a bit of time to get a relationship going between a couple and a photographer. We ended up photographing around Central Park, a fantastic New York location.

Michael and Laura Shoot at the Oakland Zoo 4.11.10

genekosoy — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:05:22 +0000

As always, I shoot rain or shine. For this shoot we had the full use of the Oakland Zoo. Even though it rained, we were able to keep dry for the most part getting the shots we needed. I love the railroad tracks at the Oakland Zoo, and as with my last shoot the train came just as we were taking the photos. I added a little motion blur to the train, but there was some natural blur as the train was moving. Special thanks to Toni from the Oakland Zoo for being such a wonderful guide and flash holder.

Angeline and Sebastian Wedding (part 2)

genekosoy — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 06:11:12 +0000

This is the portrait session I did for Angeline and Sebastian’s wedding. Their dog, Mariposa, is a huge part of their life and they insisted on getting her for the shoot. I loved the idea of using their pet in the photos, but wanted to do something unusual and fun. These are the results of inserting this dressed up wedding couple and their dog in one of the busiest parts of the city. I absolutely love taking photos in North Beach. I loved every minute of this shoot. They are truly a great couple, and I am really glad I was part of their special day.

Marjorie and Dan’s Engagement Session 3.21.10

genekosoy — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:38:33 +0000

For this engagement session we decided to go up to one of Napa Valley’s finest restaurants. Brix is located a mile north of Yountville. This great location features private dining inside their wine room, outdoor dining and a few other private rooms as well as conventional seating. They were a very laid back couple, and having shot her sister’s wedding Marjorie and Dan felt comfortable with me and let me take charge of the shoot. In addition to setting up the shots to capture the beauty of the property and the surroundings, I also paid close attention to the couple’s interaction in order to capture feeling and emotion, in addition to getting beautiful photos. In addition to getting great shots through out the day, we got to enjoy everything Brix had to offer: great food, great views and great wine. The restaurant has a very nice patio with a great view of the mountain, a vineyard and the Napa Valley Train tracks. Another nice thing about Brix, is that in addition to wedding receptions they can do also facilitate wedding ceremonies as well. This is not so standard in Napa. Overall we had a great experience shooting, and the photos are a byproduct of our stay on the premises. In addition to recommending Brix to my wedding clients, I recommend it to my friends as well.

The wedding was very relaxed and fun. Being friends with the bride and groom helped keep the stress down, and the whole thing was mostly fun. It was the first time I was a guest as well as a photographer at a friend’s wedding, and it worked out well. The venue was Highland Country Club in Oakland. Great catering by Devoted Catering Enjoy the Video.

Hila and Toby Wedding 6.18.9 from Gene Kosoy on Vimeo.

Toby and Hilla’s wedding was absolutely fantastic, and a great pleasure to shoot. Everything went smooth, the setting was gorgeous, the live music and the food were superb. Nestledown is one of the most stunning venues I’ve shot at, Brooke and her staff were awesome. Leo Brasil (usagoiania (at) hotmail.com) played some great music during the reception, and also provided the soundtrack for the slideshow. Continental Catering , was also fantastic and Michael did a great job. There are more images on the way, as well as an album.

Miguel made this great video from the engagement shots I sent him. It was a pleasant surprise to see my work put together in a slideshow. We had a great time during the shoot, and despite the rain (or because of it), the photos came out very beautiful and unique. Miguel used the “Umbrella” song covered by John Peter West. I use John’s music on my wedding photography site, More info on John West: http://www.johnpeterwest.com/
