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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
