Being a wedding photographer can be a tough job at times. Whenever friends get married sometimes I have a tough choice of being just a guest, or personally ensuring the quality of the couple’s photography. Making the decision for Juliya and Kirill’s wedding was easy, and in the end everything worked out. This wonderful couple got married on October 1st at the San Francisco City Hall. There were a lot of couples there, but we managed to get intimate portraits at various nooks and crannies of the building. After the ceremony and the city hall weddings, we headed out to the Legion of Honor for more photos. One of my favorite photos below should be titled “The two grooms” Our friend Gene Ekster suggested that Kirill and him start dancing the traditional Russian dance, “Kalinka”. It’s one of my new favorites. Our wonderful photo tour ended with the Cliff House, which hosted a wonderful lunch with the couple’s family and friends.

Every once in a while I get to photograph a wedding of someone I know personally. I’ve known Keith for over five years and I actually took the very first photo of him and Alison. As you can see they blew that photo up for the rehearsal dinner at the beautiful Sugar Cafe, that Keith happens to own. At our consultation I discovered just how special this one photo is to them, since it was literally in at least 3 different spots around the house. Now the large black and white print graces their living room.
It is no secret that Keith and Alison met at his venue, at a monthly event, that I still photograph to this day. It has been six months since I photographed their engagement photos, and this is the one wedding that I was anxiously looking forward to. Both the ceremony and the reception took place at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel. Everything went smoothly, especially thanks to my good friend and colleague Chelsea Bowman who is a top notch wedding coordinator. In addition to taking photos of the event, I had a second photographer man a live photo station with a white background. My assistant printed out the photos on the spot, and everyone at the wedding ended up going home with a framed photograph. The in house food and cake were delicious, a fantastic perk of my job. There was a lot of dancing, and the live band made all the difference. Thank you Keith and Alison for making me a part of your special day, yet again.
Venue: Fairmont Hotel
Day of coordination: Chelsea Bowman

Eric contacted me to get some head shots and body shots done for his modeling portfolio. We had a great shoot, with 3 looks and 3 locations including Oyster Point Marina and the Embarcadero. Hopefully Eric will get some modeling work soon.

Miguel and Audrey were a great couple to work with. With Miguel, being a serious model it was easy to get the couple relaxed for the camera. The photos reflect my general shooting style of capturing the feelings that are already there. Even though it was raining that day, we decided to go through with the shoot anyway. We were all glad we did, since the images would not be as unique without the rain. I include engagement sessions in all my weddings in order to get acquainted with the couple. Come wedding day we are all relaxed and have a great connection, which is vital for capturing breath taking images.
