Wedding Documentary Photography and Videography Blog

What a wonderful experience it is to work with energetic, fun, and warm hearted people. Really makes me feel like I have the best job in the world! Nupur and Tanmai are one of those amazing couples that we are really excited to be working with. Just a few months ago we did the photography and videography for Nupur’s twin sister, Nidhi. We really had a wonderful time working with their families and the video and albums came out spectacular! It was a thrill and honor to be invited to make a film and do the photography for Nupur’s wedding this summer at the Hyatt Regency in La Jolla. For their engagement shoot we met up at Legion of Honor in San Francisco before heading over to Baker Beach, where we brought some studio lighting down right to the water’s edge. Here are some of the couple’s favorites. Enjoy!

Parijat and Sonil are going to be married on May 15, 2010. I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot with them last weekend at Baker Beach in San Francisco, California. We first met up at Yerba Buena Gardens, then headed off to the beach, where we had the most amazing sunset and weather. It wasn’t even windy at all!

Parijat and Sonil were so relaxed and easy to photograph, that I cannot think of a better way to spend my Sunday evening! Enjoy the photos!

Maritza and Jess could not have picked a better evening to do their engagement shoot in San Francisco! We started at Baker beach and then went over to Lombard Street, and finally over to the Embarcadero. We had a great time, such a great time, that I didn’t even care that we came back to my car at Baker Beach, only to find the gate had been locked by the rangers and I was possibly going to have to wait until morning to get my car. But that would be crazy right? So Jess, drives around, finds a ranger, then tells them about the car, and they send someone to unlock the gate in ten minutes. Pretty exhilerating way to end the shoot but I do say, it felt good driving home that night!

The photos posted below are some of our favorites. For these I used Lightroom, then imported them into Nik Software’s Viveza and Color Pro to do some more effects. Blemishes were removed in Adobe PhotoShop CS4 and the camera was the Canon 5D Mark II. If anyone is interested in seeing some videos on effects, leave a comment of what you want to learn and I will make something!

Check out some of my latest photos from last week’s session with Melissa and Al. They became engaged at Natural Bridges beach and decided to have their pre wedding shoot there too! Got to love Santa Cruz on a summer night! Okay, it was windy but still nice……..
