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.

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.

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.

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.

Masha and Christian Wedding 7.18.9

genekosoy — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:13:32 +0000

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.

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…
