Archive for September, 2010

Eric & Hannah picked Labor Day weekend to tie the knot in the wine country, and it was absolutely perfect. After the wedding party got ready, we went to drink some wine and take fun pictures at Gundlach Bundschu Winery, where the couple got engaged. Afterwards, the beautiful ceremony was held at St. Andrew’s Church, which is full of light on a September afternoon. The back lot of the church had some gorgeous autumn scenery and we took full advantage. Finally, everyone made their way to The Lodge at Sonoma for the rockin’ reception! Congratulations Eric & Hannah!

Sometimes it’s satisfying to just get lost in an unfamiliar city, and when Fontaine and Sam came up from San Diego to do their engagement session in SF, that’s exactly what we did. Chinatown is a fertile photographic environment, full of interesting backgrounds, bright colors and hidden alleyways. After our Chinatown adventure (and a quick wardrobe change), we headed down towards more familiar grounds in the Financial District and the Embarcadero. Thanks guys! Looking forward to your wedding in October!

Burning Man 2010 Photos

September 8, 2010

My favorite time of year has officially started…September and October in the SF Bay Area usually kick off with a creative recharge on the playa in Black Rock City. This year I wanted to make sure to always have my camera with me at Burning Man, so I swaddled it in saran wrap and reinforced with scotch tape (thanks, Andy McElroy) to protect from the dust, and never changed lenses. Here are a few of my favorites from my time in the desert this year.

On a summer day, it’s always refreshing to drive from the heat of the South Bay into the cool San Francisco air. But warm, beautiful Saratoga evenings are hard to beat. I spent such an evening at Janet and Tyler’s wedding at The Mountain Winery, an expansive property that overlooks a huge part of the South Bay. J & T are veterinarians in Florida (met in vet school in Scotland – notice the kilt?), and chose to become bride and groom in California, in the company of close family and friends. Congrats, Janet & Tyler!
