  • Laura & Brian | Mill Valley Wedding Photographer

    As I mentioned when I posted images from their engagement session Laura and Brian are just two of the nicest people you could work with.  When I first met with them we sat and talked for quite awhile but it seemed to just fly by.  In addition, to just being easy going Brian is a total crack up and makes me laugh, although, as he knows that also sometimes makes it harder for me to get serious images of him.  So as one might imagine I could not wait to be  part of their special day. 

    As with any wedding day there were a few little bumps in the road but in the end Laura was gorgeous, Brian was still a crack up, and their big day was filled with emotion and special moments.  I wish them all the best and thank them for all the graciousness and kindness they extended to me right after the passing of my Father.  And although I value each of my clients Laura & Brian will always hold a little extra special place for me.

  • Karen & Alden | San Francisco Wedding Photographer

     I first met Karen & Alden face to face when I went down to Orange County earlier in 2010 to shoot their Engagement Session.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, they totally made me comfortable and were great hosts.  So I was very much looking forward to being part of their wedding day.  Karen and Alden met through a co-worker of Karen’s who was friends with Alden.  They shared that much of their first contact by e-mail and phone.  They started to build a connection and then it dawned on them that they had not even met in person.  I think that is pretty cool!

    Well their wedding was no disappointment as it was one classy and exciting event, filled with fun little details.  As you can see Karen was gorgeous and Alden had his best special agent thing going on.  Congratulations, and I wish them all the best in their marriage.

    When I first met with Patti and Rob and heard about some of the plans for their wedding I already knew it was going to be a very nice event. Then when I shot their Engagement Session and saw how fun they were as a couple, I really knew it was going to be one heck of a celebration. Well the Westin St. Francis on Union Square sure held up its end. The venue was spectacular right from Patti’s suite where she got ready to Alexandra’s Ballroom up on the Imperial Floor, which I believe I mentioned before was one of my favorite venues that I saw when I was getting married. Leslie was an awesome Catering Manager and the menu that they put together was first class all the way. I was lucky enough to get a chance to eat that night as the fare was out of this world. If you want to read more the Westin’s Events blog has a very nice write up from Leslie. There was so much stuff going on my head was spinning, but a couple highlights for me was one to see how much fun Rob’s Mom is and just how proud she is of him and how much she loves him. And the other was to see that in the midst of everything Patti and Rob took the time to celebrate Patti’s Mom’s Birthday.

    So here it is their full slideshow, an abbreviated version was circulating for a bit and was linked to the Westin’s Blog. Congratulations again to Patti & Rob! And I hope that everyone is having a great New Year. To see the slideshow click on the image above.
