Jessica and Scott Engagement Shoot 5.23.10

genekosoy — Thu, 27 May 2010 21:47:27 +0000

This fun couple was referred to me via a Facebook friend. They have an out of state photographer take photos at their upcoming wedding, but no engagement shots. I feel pretty good about the way the shots came out, and glad that this lovely couple got a bit of practice in front of the camera before the big day. We started off the shoot at the Conservatory of flowers, and moved onto the grungy blocks of Haight Street, making a special stop at Amoeba records. Overall it was a very fun, easy going shoot.

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.

Allie and Jenny 3.12.10

I first photographed Allie and her boyfriend a few years ago. This time Allie and her sister Jenn contacted me for a fun shoot for their dad’s birthday present. We met at the Conservatory of Flowers and went inside the tunnel adjacent to it. There were some guys playing Jazz at the end of the tunnel, so naturally I sat them in front of the musicians. We stayed there for a few songs, allowing them to enjoy the music while I took some shots, featuring the musicians. I left them a card along with a tip, hoping they’ll contact me for their closeups. I really enjoy incorporating the natural environment, especially if its interesting people.

Our second bridal fair @ Westin St. Francis, San Franciso 1.31.10

genekosoy — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:39:36 +0000

We just had our second bridal fair of the year, and it was amazing. Got to meet some great couples and had a pretty good overall presence. The Westin’s loading zone was super convenient, and it was a quarter of the trip we had to make at the first show. My team for this show included Lina, Chelsea and Mike. We were rocking and rolling in our little corner. Everyone loved the books, and we had some brides that stayed well over 20 minutes. The feedback and the connections we received were fantastic. Kimberly and her team from International Wedding Festival put on a great show. Our next show is with Modern Bridal on Feburary 28th, at the Concourse Pavilion in San Francisco. Here are some photos from our booth.

Matt’s wedding proposal to Meghan 5.24.9

genekosoy — Mon, 25 May 2009 03:17:54 +0000

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…
