I love working with conceptual ideas. And on my down time I like to create things and shoot things I normally don’t do on a regular basis. Plus coming up with different ideas and trying capture those ideas on camera is a challenge but a fun one. Sometimes what you see in your mind and what comes out on camera are two different things but that’s just it, it is the challenge that I seek. I shot these images of Ms. Madeline in an area in Antioch CA where its some what always windy but on this particular day it was very very windy. It was hard just standing straight but in someway it turned out for the best for this shoot. The skirt just did what it was suppose to do blow in the air. Here are some photos from that session.
Jon and Krupa 1
I had the pleasure of photographing this mini Indian wedding of Jon and Krupa. It was held in San Francisco and a gorgeous Indian wedding ceremony for Krupa’s family. I thought it looked magnificent with all those adoring colors and fancy fabrics which is not what you normally see in a typical western wedding. It was great to be apart of something so cultural I absolutely loved it. I also had the pleasure of photographing their more traditional wedding but you will get to see that next week.

The Wedding of Angelo and Kaylee
Besides these two being adorable, I can’t say how goregous this wedding was. I love the fact that Angelo and Kaylee’s wedding was held at Angelo’s parents house which is a beautiful property in itself. They couldn’t have asked for a better location. If it was just the location and nothing else that would have been just beautiful but then Kaylee had it decorated immaculately. I loved all the little details she had and this wedding did not lack that whatsoever. The rustic elements just matched perfectly with the location of the wedding it was stunning. I loved the simple elegance of Kaylee’s dress it felt like a gorgeous updated 1930’s style dress and the the flowers complimented that style. Anyway it was an amazing wedding thank you for allowing me to be part of it.
