Wedding Documentary Photography and Videography Blog

Kelly and Harrison are getting married on September 25, 2010 and we are doing both the still and motion photography at their wedding! To warm up a bit before the big day, we hit Stanford University for an engagement session.

Since I did not have the chance to meet Harrison when I met Kelly, this was a great opportunity to get to know the groom and see what angles, lighting, and poses worked best for them. I find these shoots most helpful and they only take about an hour.

We did a couple outfit changes and tried out a variety of poses. Best of all, the shoot allowed me to talk to my bride and groom to get to know them better. I did not even realize Harrison basically grew up down the street from me and went to all the same schools as I did. Small world indeed!

We had a lot of fun and I cannot wait for their big day. Here are a few from our shoot! Enjoy!

Monique and Surag are tying the knot on October 9, 2010 at Casa Real in Livermore. They are planning an awesome three day affair that I am highly looking forward to.

Monique and Surag are super chill, easy to photograph people. They love life and have a lot of laughs with one another. We had a lot of fun at the Legion of Honor in SF and then Baker Beach. Unfortunately, it was really cold, windy, and overcast, but thanks to a little off camera flash, we created our own sunlight!

Here are many of our favorites for you to enjoy!

I am so excited for Alexis and Atheer (Theo, as he goes by). They are great people and we know we will have lots of good times with them covering their special day in September. They took direction so well but really did not even need any. Almost none of these images are photoshopped very much because they have pretty darn good features if I must say so myself.

We have been shooting a lot at the bow and arrow in San Francisco since it is such a diverse place. You got grass, ocean, big clock tower, huge bow and arrow art piece, as well as the Bay Bridge!

Thanks for all the love and support everyone. Check out some pics!

Mehvish and Omar are having a four day wedding event on July 15-18, 2010. We are super excited to be documenting their day with both stills and cinema coverage. To have a little fun before the big week of festivities we headed over to San Francisco for an engagement shoot next to the large bow and arrow art piece next to the ball park. Mehvish and Omar parked at the ballpark and ended up walking all the way to the bow and arrow which, was far so I felt kind of bad about that. Not to mention, it was freezing cold and windy. Probably the worst conditions to do a shoot besides rain or sand storm!

Both Mehvish and Omar didn’t mind much though and they were awesome to photograph. They both are very REAL people who love to travel and are genuinely interested in the world (like I am)! We were not able to make it down to the beach as planned because it was just too cold but we had fun at any rate. Here are few of my favorites and be sure to stay tuned for their wedding images in July!
