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…
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/
Although its best to see and feel the album, I think some photos will be nice to show what one looks like. This album is from Stephan’s and Lindsay’s wedding from May, 08. This album is leather bound, heavy and beautiful. It is 22 spreads, 44 pages with no cut down the middle. It comes wrapped in recycled pineapple leaves, just gorgeous…
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.
