Claudia + John::Blessed

I met Claudia and John at the wedding of Patty and Jose. Claudia was basically running the show during the getting ready part of the day back at Patty's home. About a week later I got a call from John saying that they had seen my blog post on Patty and Jose's wedding and wanted to commission me to capture their big day as well.

We managed to squeeze in their engagement shoot this weekend and boy am I glad we did. Because of the unpredictable Bay Area weather we almost had to cancel the shoot.

We started off at one of my favorite, little known gems of an area North of SF, Kirby Cove. It was literally foggy and overcast as we walked down to Kirby Cove. As soon as we started shooting, the sun came out and we had AMAZING light!!! Even John notice that as well. When we finished, the fog and clouds came right back.

We then headed up the road in the Marin Headlands to Point Bonita. I've actually never been there myself though I've seen some pretty awesome photos. When we arrived and hiked down the gate was closed. The light house had actually been closed for a couple hours. We were kinda bummed, until a couple that was there with us discovered that the lock was actually unlocked. With this discovery we decided to take a chance and shoot. We did have concerns of getting locked in the Point Bonita Area, which would have been bad. But as luck would have it there was a young coast guard who had left it unlocked and was cool enough to let us shoot there for a few minutes. This stroke of good fortune along w/ the AMAZING light proved to be a winning combination for some AWESOME photos.

Enough talking, check out the photos.

Roots::Muang + Brandon

I had the pleasure of being a guest at a wedding this time around. My father-in-law's side of the family who live in Illinois were having a small gathering to celebrate the marraige of my cousin. They had a destination wedding in Florida earlier in the year with just the two of them.

At first I told my wife I wasn't going to bring my professional camera equipment. But at the last moment my conscious made me pack one camera and a couple of small lenses. I'm glad I did as I had the honor to capture the love and chemistry between the newly weds.

Here are a few of my favs from their announcement party.

In these parts of Illinois you always know what town your in with water towers that say the town name. My father-in-law's family lives in Depue.
