It’s so great to be out of the office shooting a couple of times a week after a slow winter. As I often tell my clients, taking the photos is fun, the work is sitting in the office editing, post producing, photoshopping, Quickbooksing, etc… It really is why we do what we do, we love taking photos, we love interacting with our brides and grooms and we love a bit of fresh air.
Baseball season is here! Hiten, being a huge SF Giants fan, wanted to start his engagement session at AT&T Park in his appropriate fan gear. Lucky for him, Dipti obliged despite her split team loyalties (notice below how she switches jerseys half way through the shoot). We scored on the lovely day, one of the first beautiful spring days we’ve had. After AT&T Park we covered some ground, going from Potrero Hill to Golden Gate Park to Baker Beach to the Financial District and wrapping up on Market Street.







It’s not too often that I get to shoot somewhere totally unlike anywhere I’ve shot before, but Janet and Paul’s e-session gave me that opportunity. Where? At a middle school! Schools tend to be off the radar for most of us photographers. Janet & Paul met back in the day while they attended school together (it was a high school back then). Roaming the campus brought me right back to my own high school days, the picnic tables, the portables, the low architecture of California schools… all made me realize just how old I am. But I digress. Janet, Paul and I had a lovely time shooting at their old school, China Camp, and Sausalito. We totally scored on the weather, which was great since our previous shoot was scratched due to rain. Hope you enjoy the photos!



Just received this very nice note from a bride:
