Thailand!

In a spur of the moment decision, I have decided to head off to Thailand. I'll be there for this coming week, doing some scuba diving in the beautiful Koh Tao island, with a few unavoidable days spent in the Bangkok area. After spending time in London, South Africa, and Botswana, this will be my fourth country and third continent visited in the past 4 months! I'm frantically getting everything together at the last minute, but am eagerly looking forward to a brief but relaxing break in this amazing place. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I return, and hope to have intermittent access to email over the next week. Wish me luck!

Masy and Chris - Rincon Center

Masy and Chris had their wedding at the Rincon Center in San Francisco. After getting ready at the Westin, we took off for some fun pictures around the Embarcadero area of the city, stopping off at many fun and photogenic spots along the way. This photo shoot was a little bit different however, with the whole bridal party coming along. The wedding turned out fantastically well, absolutely fitting for this great couple.

Cynthia & Christian Wedding

When I first met Cynthia and Christian last fall, I knew that we would have a fantastic time working together. During their engagement session the two couldn't stop smiling, and I was impressed by the absolute devotion that they show towards each other at all times. Their wedding was a wonderful event, taking place at the All Saints Catholic Church in Hayward, with the reception across the bay at the Historic Del Monte Building in Sunnyvale. Here are a few pictures from the day, with a slideshow HERE. Congratulations to Cynthia and Christian!

Nareg and Erin - Muir Woods Wedding

I always love it when a wedding ceremony really fits with the unique personality and character of the bride and groom. Nareg and Erin had a really intimate, personalized ceremony in Muir Woods, underneath some fantastic redwood trees. With a small wedding party of close family and friends, we then headed out for a reception dinner at the world famous restaurant The French Laundry. The food looked amazing, the company had a wonderful time, and we got some great pictures along the way.

Gavin and Michelle - SF Green Room Wedding

And I'm back! 2 weeks in the Bay Area, and more than 4,000 images later- I've broken back into the wedding photography scene with full force. This past week I grabbed fellow photographer Andi Hatch and took off to photograph the wedding of Gavin and Michelle, a fun couple from New York. As both work in the music industry, the wedding took on an interesting theme- with the whole event being a costume party themed "Rockers and Rappers." I've never seen such a hilarious and lighthearted mix of young and old, all decked out in wigs, flashy "gold" chains and crazy hats. With the wedding taking place at the Green Room, in San Francisco's War Memorial Building, we had a lot of space to spread out and have some fun. Here are a few of my favorites, along with the full slideshow HERE. Gavin and Michelle: Rock on!

African Wildlife

I've just returned back to the Bay Area, after spending about 3 weeks in the African bush taking wildlife pictures. My trip stared in South Africa at the Kruger National Park. After that I went into Botswana for 2 weeks, visiting the Okavango Delta, then into the Kalahari Desert. I absolutely love African wildlife, and the amazing feeling that camping out in the bush can provide. Here are some of my favorite photos.
