Tonight I photographed the wedding of Kim and Erick. I had recently done their engagement shoot, so it was a lot of fun to work with them again- and we had lots of chances to get some great pictures. We took a few shots at the Fairfield Hilton, and then went to the wedding and reception at the Rancho Solano Country Club. Feel free to take a look at some of the images!

This past weekend I met up with clients Kim and Erick before their wedding to shoot some engagement photos in Palo Alto. I always enjoy doing engagement sessions, as it gives me a chance to get to know the couple I'm working with better, and helps them get used to being in front of the camera. Kim and Erick were a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to shooting their wedding soon.

Rosemary and Phoenix Wedding

I just finished editing the photos from the wedding I shot of Rosemary and Phoenix this past Saturday. I got a huge smile on my face looking through these images and remembering what a fun and close wedding this was. We started off at the Claremont Hotel for some bridal and couple's pictures, and found a number of spots with some great architectural lines and great light around the hotel.

We then went on to the ceremony at St. Clement's Episcopal Church. I loved the cross-beams on the roof of the church and the beautiful warm lighting.

The reception included a surprise visit by a mariachi band, and a load of spirited Latin dancing. A classy, fun, and festive end to a fantastic day.

Bay Area Sunset

Thanks for checking in for the new Noah Hawthorne Photography blog. In addition to my regular website at http://www.hawthornephotography.com/ , I'll be using this site to show more of my latest work which will include some of the things aside from weddings that I've been shooting- whether for work of just for fun. Feel free to check in to see samples from what I've been up to, and do enjoy the photos!

Today I went to look at the locations for my client's Rosemary and Phoenix, whose wedding I'm shooting tomorrow. We will be taking pictures at the Claremont Hotel before heading over to the ceremony at St. Clement's Episcopal Church, and then on to the reception at the Highlands Country Club in Oakland. While at the reception site today I got a view of a breathtaking sunset over the Bay and took the chance to snap a few photos. I certainly feel lucky to have a job that allows me to carry a camera around all the time and gives me the chance to explore some of the more beautiful places in the world, while also encouranging me to find the beautiful in the everyday and ordinary.
