Cathi and Huy, Engagement Photo Session - Stanford Univercity

Originally we planned to do this photo shoot in Japanese Friendship Garden. I love that place with cute little bridges, swans and simply amazing landscaping. But it wasn't our luck, the park was closed for restoration… Plan B - Stanford University campus. It was Saturday and the campus was full of weddings couples and other visitors and still, we managed to make an illusion that there are only these two people in the whole world - Cathi and Huy. Sometimes the couples aren't into playing along and would rather stick to the simple posing. But after taking first set of photos Cathi and Huy were totally willing to play along with me! Here are a few shots...

Mark and Christina - Portola Valley, CA

Yes, the busy season is here for sure!! I had another wonderful wedding last weekend as Mark and Christina got married at Portola Valley, CA. It was my first time working at the Valley Presbyterian Church and I must say that ceremony was beautiful and Mark and Christina are awesome to work with!

I started at Daly City taking photos of Christina getting ready. Jon went to Millbrae to shoot Mark's preparation. After the Tea ceremony we went to Stanford University for about an hour and to the church.

Mark and Christina looked AMAZING and their friends and family were a ton of fun to be around! Here are a few highlights from Jon and I...

Dolly and Alex, family photo session - San Ramon, CA

Back to work. Dolly and Alex wanted to do their family portrait for about a year, planning to use as many pictures as possible to finish decorating their wonderful house. Two times we scheduled this photo session, two times we had to cancel and reschedule it. And? we did it.

A few shots in the house... I started with posing Mark, adding his wife, Lola, then their grand daughter, then Dolly and Alex. The last one, was absolutely adorable dog that would not stop barking until he got to the picture. Then a few shots on the back yard...

Then four of us went to the beautiful Blackhawk Plaza in Danville, CA...

Working with Derrick Dobbs

A couple of months ago I had the privilege of assisting my good friend Derrick Dobbs at his studio. He was shooting absolutely gorgeous piece of machinery - these motorcycles below. We had hours of preparation, building the set up - lights, screens, reflectors, then waited for bikes to arrive, watching models to dress and getting their makeup done... Amazing experience!

I shot Derrick during his work.
