One of my good friends started her own design company. She’s totally awesome. She asked me to take pictures of a tablescape she designed for a wedding. She did everything. Did all the florals by hand (yes all of them). Chose all the ceramic decorations. Everything.It looks freaking awesome. I love it. =) You can see for yourself. =D

oh man. the birds and the vases were so good looking!

bouquets were awesomely colorful!

Prettiest flower. EVAR.

So many different kinds of birds! =)

Wow what a fun loving couple! Had a fabulous time with Melissa and Jim. They asked to take photos at Santa Cruz Wharf. This place is SUPER special to them. They had their first date here. This is where Jim proposed to Melissa. Special places = heart! =)

Julia + Eddy | Wedding | Palo Alto, CA

Palo Alto. What can I say about this city except that there’s always unexpected walls for you to shoot. haha. Every little alleyway has some sort of awesome wall that gives photos character and pop. There’s also nearby Stanford where TONS of couples go to shoot their wedding pictures.

Julia and Eddy started off getting ready at the Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto. The lobby has floor to ceiling windows that just let awesome natural light in. It was great!

We then went to Stanford and downtown Palo Alto to get some pictures in and they had their ceremony at First United Methodist in Palo Alto. Finally the reception at Ming’s in Palo Alto. I think I finally dialed in on my “dance party lighting”. haha I had more keepers this wedding than ever. Enough talk about locations and lighting! Just peep em! =P

yay airbrush!

Seriously only cool make-up artists use a Hello Kitty make-up box.

So happy!! =)

The no look shot. haha Awesomes. =)

I heart downtown Palo Alto walls. =)

all four of these walls are within 2 blocks of each other. I love it. haha.

black clean benz = super shiny and super reflective

Dance paaaaarrtaaaay!! =)

Julia + Eddy | Engaged | San Francisco, CA

Oh man SF is sucha beautiful city. There’s a myriad of different scenes, different textures, different feels all compacted into one city. I love it. What I love more is when a couple wants to go and shoot there. Julia and EddY (sorry man, I know I kept misspelling it EddIE… my bad! haha =P) actually were willing to tackle what the city had to offer head on. They did pretty much everything I asked them to do. What more could I ask for? Julia, Eddy you guys rock! =D

Someone had an clean vespa parked somewhere. heart. haha. SF offers Urban…

SF offers touristy…

I dunno what to call these two. But the light here rocked.

yes the light rocked. haha.

SF offers Naturey… and awesome naturey at that!

we had to stop to do a little fashion in between all the hugging, smooching, lovey doveyness. hahaha.

I can’t tell which of these two post processings I like better. But man this was one awesome scene!

I heart primes. Camera geek alert: I think I’m going to use an all prime kit when I shoot engagements. 24, 50, 60macro, 85, possibly 200. maybe through in a 45 PC-E in there for good measure.

I can’t tell which crop I like on this scene either. I love it.

Ellen + Jim | Wedding | Livermore, CA

Harvey — Wed, 19 May 2010 23:52:24 +0000

I’ve had the privileged of shooting Ellen and Jim on their special day. What a special day it was! The weather actually cooperated that day. It was ridiculously sunny and ridiculously perfect sandwiched in between days, weeks of rain and drizzle. Was it God’s providence? I sure think so. Located at beautiful Wente Vineyards, they had an awesome ensemble of entertainment. From a mariachi band (serious?! what asian couple has a mariachi band at their wedding) to a rad dance party afterwards. Peep the pics. =)

On the party bus to the vineyards! =)

AWESOME blue shoes? Check

Mariachi Band? Check.

OMG they had the CUTEST ring bearer and flower girl. So cute!

Beautiful right? yeah I thought so. =P

They played the kissing game. And when they called one of their Aunt/Uncles it caused some ruckus amongst the older generation. hahaha!

Their rings had Chinese engraved in it! Was totally awesomes.

Now its time to get down. hahaha.
