Toni-Anne and Sergio

Toni-Anne and Sergio got married in Vista, San Diego last Saturday on this beautiful piece of property her Aunt owns.  It had a cowboy theme and the details were done with such taste.  I didn't add in all the original details around the property because there were too many wonderful photos to add as is.  Here are some of my favorites! In two weeks I will be photographing a wedding in La Jolla, San Diego!  Looking forward to all these up coming wedding in San Diego.

Bridget and Bob

Rita and Alferdo's Engagement Portraits

Engagement portraits are so much fun!!  Here is a couple, Rita and Alferdo, that was just shoot last week at the Emeryville Marina.  They turned out great, but keep in mind this place is windy and cold!  It's the bay so that is usually a given, but the spot was sentimental to the couple so it made for meaningful engagement portraits.  When photographing couples you want to bring out their connection and some ways to do this is to have them always touching hands, heads leaning in, looking at each other, or arms linked together.

More Boudoir!

Boudoir photography is so fun!  I love working with women and helping them produce beautiful, classy images for themselves or their partners.  It's all about the posing and photographer of course!  But when it comes to posing I have been on the other side of the camera for years so I have a lot of experience in knowing how to help women pose.  Here are some of my favorites from this shoot over the weekend.

Wedding at William E. Walker Recreation Center

I photographed a wedding at the William E. Walker Recreation Center in Foster City. I got some great photos with the bridal party even though it was rather cold and windy..it all worked out!

This shoot was the brides idea and I think it turned out really cute!

The perfect jump!

Capturing the emotions of the wedding day is one of the most important jobs as a wedding photographer. Rather than posing people, I like to focus on what is happening and what people are feeling.

A cross processing effect gives this image a more creative look which I think makes this photo more interesting.

I love when couples have fun with the cake cutting ritual!

Ashley's Maternity Photos

Black and White images are so classic for maternity portraits. They are simple yet timeless and beautiful. I love these ones from Ashley's shoot!

Boudoir/Pin Up Photos

In the name of Valentine's Day we have kicked off an amazing deal through Trubates.com for a Boudoir shoot for only $89! This one is little more of a Pin Up than Boudoir, but the line is very gray.  Melissa just likes the Pin Up style, but a true boudoir can be a combination of lingerie that is retro or contemporary.  It is all up to what you want to do.
