When an engagement shoot approaches, I’m always keeping an eye on the weather. After all, very few people want to go out and be photographed in the rain. Well, with a 50% chance of rain, Maritel, Eric and I ultimately decided to just go for it. What we found, is that even though a rainy day can be sometimes unpleasant, the reward is well worth it. Since a dark, overcast sky can cause some pretty flat, boring light, this photographer just had to make his own. After that, illuminated droplets of rain, glistening sidewalks, puddles…all of these elements made for an incredibly fun and creative session. At some point we even stumbled upon a gentleman washing his beautiful classic car. Yep. A rainy day is the best time for a car wash, he tried to convince us. Well, it was a great time for an engagement shoot as well. Thanks, Maritel and Eric!

Twinkies!! But, first…a little context. Julie and Josh traveled to San Francisco all the way from school in Pennsylvania, in order to get married at SF City Hall. Josh’s brother Sean came up from SoCal to be their witness. Meanwhile, it was Jody, Josh’s mom who found my work and asked me to document the wedding. At the County Clerk’s office, we must have missed our number in line, so we had to check in again. Perhaps this was fate, because we ended up with an awesome officiant. First, she kept throwing lovely compliments at these guys, and second, she was totally down to conduct the ceremony on the 4th Floor. We all got a little emotional during the vows, and afterwards we embarked on a whirlwind photographic tour of the building (and Sean found himself on lights). Suddenly everyone was hungry, and lucky for us, the food trucks were still parked outside. The 3 SUM EATS truck provided sandwiches, and even homemade twinkies, which before long were repurposed for a sweet (ba-da-bing!) ring shot. All in all, we just had a ton of fun, and I’m excited and proud that Julie and Josh will go back to Penn with some amazing memories of their San Francisco City Hall wedding!

This one started with symmetry. Cindy and Conrad – big Diet Coke fans – fueled up before the ceremony and photo expedition got underway. San Francisco gifted us a soft, cloudy day, and our City Hall wedding officiant was kind enough to accommodate a ceremony on the fourth floor, where all of that soft light streamed in through the giant windows and fell on Cindy, Conrad and their attendants. After a moving ceremony and some beautiful family moments with Conrad’s parents, we headed out to the Palace of Fine Arts to continue our three-hour session. Gusts of wind inspired some veil play, and the beautiful texture of the PFA architecture made a perfect backdrop for portraits. We finally parted ways, chilly but satisfied! Thank you Cindy and Conrad! All the best!

When you get your portrait taken in a studio, it’s usually a sit-down affair. But when all of San Francisco is your photo studio, running, climbing, jumping, dancing, skipping and twirling may all be required. I loved working with Jessica and Fred, because aside from the fact that they’re a gorgeous couple, they had amazing energy throughout our photographic adventure. Fittingly, we even pulled into the Sports Basement parking lot to do an outfit change. Can’t wait for your wedding in June guys! I hope the day is just as warm and that we have even more fun together!

Love strikes without warning, and sometimes that means City Hall weddings happen on short notice. Tara and Peter contacted me just a few days before their ceremony. They had just two attendants with them, because their wedding was happening in secret, and it was to be revealed to family and friends at a big reception the following day. So hurried were their preparations that Tara didn’t have time to procure a bouquet – she just brought a single red rose, which turned out to be the perfect choice. She looked beautiful holding that rose, and she and Peter were just lost in one another the entire time. Thank you guys! I’m glad I was there to document your day!
