  • Overcast But Not Gloomy | Yvonne & Lou’s E-Session (Preview)

    Last weekend I went out with my friends Yvonne & Lou to shoot their E-session.  I had corresponded with Yvonne a couple of times over e-mail and we had come up with a couple ideas of things we might want to explore while out and about.  All week the weather was great but of course on Saturday it was suddenly foggy and overcast.  Well there went the ideas we were thinking of since they had some to do with a sunset.  Obviously at that point it was “What sunset??”  Well not to be deterred we set out determined to see what we could do. 

    At the end of the day I think we got some stuff that was great because of the weather.  Besides Yvonne and Lou are such a funny couple we just had to get something good.  The thing I found funny is that Yvonne was all worried that she does not look good in pictures.  Silly girl!  I’ll let you all look and judge for yourselves.  I personally think she looks great. 

    Well here are a few shots.  I’ll get more up later as I get a chance to work on them.  Hope everyone has a great week.

  • A Day On The Farm | A Family Time

    I met Eric long ago through some friends and at one point we even played on a softball team together.  That seems like so long ago now since we are both married and both have 2 little girls.  Well the other week I had the opportunity to go out with Eric, his wife Agnes and their two very cute and very active…did I mention active…little girls.  They wanted some family shots so we took some time and went out to the “Farm” (Stanford University for those of you that don’t know that reference).  As much as it pains me to say it (I’m a Cal grad) the campus is beautiful and nice place to walk around and shoot.  It was an especially nice time since we got to catch up a bit since with our busy lives I really never get to see them.  So all in all we had a great time. Here are a few shots from the day.  Hope everyone is well and having a good week.

  • Amy & Tim Get Married | Mini Tease

    This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Amy & Tim’s Wedding.  I had actually never met either of them face to face since we put this all together pretty fast and mostly over e-mail.  Actually, even with that all the contact was with Amy.  Well through that little contact I had a sense that Amy was a nice person.  So the day of I finally got to meet them both and well….Amy is not nice…her and Tim are really nice.  They made us feel welcome and known right off the bat.  Needless to say it was just a pleasure to spend the day with them.  Here are a few shots from the day. 

    Congratulations Amy & Tim!  May the Lord truly bless you and your marriage.

  • Review of Noodle Theory in SF Station and One of My Photos Too!

    About 2 1/2 years ago our friend Louis opened a restaurant over in the Rockridge District of Oakland.  The name of it was Noodle Theory.  Right from the beginning my wife and I loved it and in times when we had less children, we frequented it quite a bit.  Well recently Louis opened a second Noodle Theory over in the Cow Hollow district of San Francisco.  Located at 3242 Scott Street, San Francisco it boasts many of the same great dishes and even more all wrapped in a cooler hipper setting.  Well this week SF Station posted a review.  Check it out at:

  • The Whole Story | Pauch & William’s Wedding Slideshow

    Blog Title.jpg

    The wedding is normally the end of the fairy tale but in the case of Pauch & William it is definitely only the end of Chapter 1…okay maybe Chapter 2 since they seem to already have done so much together.Regardless, they are just starting out on what promises to be a wonderful life together.The end of this chapter though was no small thing.Pauch &William had a special celebration which started with a ceremony at the Presidio Golf Club and ended with people shaking what they had late into the night.In between was full of friends, family, fun, and all full of love.

     

    So here is their slideshow, click on the above image to see it.I wish Pauch & William every bit of a fairy tale going forward from this point. Congratulations you two it was an event filled day.
