‘Love amidst the ruins?’ ‘Diamonds in the rough?’ Call it what you will, but one thing is certain: Tony and Chelsea are fearless explorers. When we met up for our engagement photography session, they were more than ready for some crazy construction yard antics. As the sunny November afternoon gave way to a chilly evening, we emerged triumphant (and a little sooty) with a pretty cool set of photos. Thanks guys! It was an adventure. I look forward to your wedding this summer!
Candice and Cleve decided to come all the way from Richmond, VA, in order to have their wedding at SF City Hall. Even though the skies stayed mostly grey, the day was quite warm, and their bold sense of style spiced things up. After taking some spontaneous portraits in and around City Hall, we ventured out towards Crissy Field and Golden Gate Bridge for some very ‘San Francisco’ shots. Congratulations, guys! Hope you had a great time in SF.
After a civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, and a colorful wedding in India, Beth and Udai were finally able to bring their families together for a California wedding celebration at the Berkeley City Club. Designed by architect Julia Morgan and built in 1929, this Moorish- and Gothic-style venue was the perfect match for a couple that loves unique details. There were candies, cupcakes, cosmopolitans and peacock feathers. Since Beth is studying to be a librarian, we took full advantage of the City Club’s antique library for our photoshoot. The party continued in the magnificent reception hall. Congratulations, Beth and Udai!
The Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) parade in the Mission is one of my favorite San Francisco events. This City really comes alive between August and October, and this is a beautiful and intimate way to celebrate those who have passed, as well as to come down from the manic energy of October, baseball, and Halloween. The range of costumes at the parade is quite striking, and Garfield Park is aglow with hundreds of altars and candles. This year I decided to do something different, and set up a little photobooth to capture the essence of the evening.
