Jane and Lee were vacationing in America and they decided to get marry in San Francisco at City Hall on the last day of 2007. They were a lovely couple, super shy but quite adorable in their own way. I gave them a mini tour of San Francisco as we went to all the popular visual landscapes.

I haven't done much boudoir work and it's extra challenging when the subject is in my studio (surround by my coworkers but separate by a backdrop!). Either way, i thought the images turn out all right considering everything.

I was hired by the Mayor's inauguration team to cover his swearing in ceremony and had special access to him. It was an interesting character study to see his public and private side. Since he was newly engaged, it was also interesting to capture the dynamics of the relationship.

I had the pleasure of working with Lynn this past year on one of her projects. I hope to work with her more as it was an interesting experience to work with an artist that knows what she wants. She asked me to do a quick portrait of her and within 5 mins, we got her essence.

I got the chance to catch up with the Werbach's a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, the kids weren't cooperating as much on that day but there were a few good shots as well.

I found this outtake particularly fun and romantic. Engagement sessions tend to be in public places and i usually try to crop the crowd out but i couldn't resist this runner.

i haven't had the time to post much lately due to an overwhelming demand for my services. Nonetheless, i have been keeping my flickr account active, so check out that link for more interesting tidbits.

I shot this wedding in may and i also forgot to post it on the blog. Luckily, i submit a number of photos from this wedding in the recent AGWPJA contest and got 2nd place for one of them. Check out their web slideshow here.

I've seen other photographer's images from this rather famous church in tiburon and I am glad i had the chance to photograph there recently. My post production has been a bit more moody and dark this wedding season, as seen by this image. In other news, i got 2nd place for a getting ready image and 6th place overall in the last contest hosted by AGWPJA (Artistic Guild Wedding Photojournalism Association).

check out the slideshow from their wedding.
