Now this was a fun one. I traveled an hour north of San Francisco to the charming city of Santa Rosa for engagement session with Angela and Josh. I went up into the mountains to their private land and was in awe of the views and the serenity. See you two in San Francisco in September.
Josh asked Angela to marry him as she was finishing off a half marathon.
It's been a long time since I've blogged and I'm getting back in the habit. A full season flying back and forth from San Diego and NYC has taken its toll on my social media, but this should be a fun way to get the ball rolling. A few months ago I went to San Francisco to photograph a bridal session with a friend of mine Rita and her husband Chad. They got married in Bora Bora so they wanted to get some portraits done in San Francisco where they reside. Rita and I have been friends since high school and we got into the wedding industry at the same time, me with photography and her with makeup. She is an extremely talented makeup artist, so brides if you are in the San Diego or San Francisco area, definitely check out her work.
I headed up for a foodie day trip to San Francisco to meet up with Jesse and Chi-Na. As soon as they picked me up from the airport we went on an eating binge: Tartine, Pizzeria Delfina, Dynamo, Boccalone, Cowgirl Creamery, Blue Bottle, then Hog Island Oyster Company. I spared you from posting photographs from each restaurant because if you read this post hungry, you may get upset, haha. But after all the food it was portrait time, so we headed to Golden Gate Park and the Sutro Baths to some beautiful light. I must shoot better with a food coma.
I hung out with Jen, Bucky and their son Liam in their neighborhood of Bernal Heights in San Francisco.
A few weeks ago I went up to San Francisco for an engagement session with Mary and Eddy who both have impeccable style and taste. We started the session at their home, then went off to Blue Bottle on Mint Street and photographed around there. After our coffee fix, we darted to Golden Gate Park and beat the incoming fog to finish off our session at the De Young museum, which was a great way to end the day. We were joined by RJ of Apex Express, who was interviewing me and a few other photographers on our thoughts on love, its great to hear Mary, Eddy and myself talk about ourselves and our philosophies. Its a great program who is also in need of support to keep the great stories coming along, so feel free to make a donation on their website as you listen to us chat, we start around 23:00.
