Every spring hundreds of thousands of sandhill cranes congregate along Nebraska’s Platte River Valley to rest, refuel and breed, something they’ve been doing for almost a million years. Visiting family in Omaha, my mom and I awoke a the butt crack of dawn to see this majestic event of the natural world to see for ourselves what we’ve been hearing about for our lives. It was a beautiful thing to witness a small part of their life’s journey as they continue on their big trip.

Had a great photography session with a lovely family in San Francisco’s Richmond District. We began at their home, where warmth and love filled the air as I captured moments of their daily life.

CAVALIER | DIFFERENT TYPE TIME | MUSIC VIDEO
Cavalier’s new album, ‘Different Type Time’ via Backwoodz Studioz has dropped. It is simply tremendous. Cav is a true artist; thinking, feeling and finding meaning on his own path through space and time. His visionary and inventive wordplay combined with his keen ear for interesting and dope beats help make this one of the best hip-hop albums of the year.
On top of all that, he always comes correct with the visuals. So particularly in that light, I am super honored to have connected with Cav and ended up co-directing and editing the video for his introductory song to this project. Check it out above and enjoy the art!!!

CALIFORNIA SPIRIT | SAN FRANCISCO BAY | EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome aboard the California Spirit, the San Francisco Giants’ iconic yacht and some of my event photography. We had the privilege of joining a solid group of event industry leaders for an evening of connection and awe-inspiring views. As the yacht pulled away from the dock, we cruised under the Bay Bridge, past Alcatraz and under the towering expanse of the Golden Gate Bridge, nature put on a show of its own. Seabirds skimmed the water, and the rolling hills of Marin faded as it was shrouded in fog as the sun dipped low. The calm of the water, the glow of twilight, and the gentle hum of the yacht created a dreamlike backdrop for the evening.

ALON & DAVE | SAN FRANCISCO PHOTOGRAPHER | SAN FRANCISCO CITY HALL WEDDING
Alon & Dave’s beautiful love came together at a wedding in San Francisco’s majestic city hall. They even brought probably one of the coolest dogs ever in their chihuahua named Henry. In the middle of the ceremony some bureaucrat interrupted them and their County Clerk commissioner because they had their dog, that individual even called the sheriffs to intervene. It was pretty wild, and we all had a pretty good laugh about it. At any rate, the vibes were upbeat and we went out to Point Lobos and Sutro Baths for some portrait fun after the deed was done. Had an absolute blast with these dudes (and dog). Check out our adventure and the awesome photos we made together below.

Loved the range of romantic, silly and fun photos that we were able to capture together. A total blast was had. Enjoy!

AGS Los Angeles took place down in Venice Beach at the Marina Del Rey Marriott during one of this year’s most epic storms in California history. It snowed in the Los Angeles foothills and mountains and all the speakers and attendees got 360 degree views of the city and were able to watch as cascading storms brought rain, hail and beautiful light. The most glorious aspect of the day was being witness to a multitude of rainbows and one that lasted for almost an hour. Good spirits abounded and lots of good networking

ALEX & JOEY | CLIFT HOTEL | SAN FRANCISCO WEDDING
Alex and Joey got married The Clift Royale Senestra Hotel in San Francisco. It was a sweet natured affair with lots of fun. It is always beautiful to be surrounded by that loving energy. Their ceremony took place on the top floor. Awesome portraits were had out on the balcony overlooking a vast expanse of San Francisco, with a little fog coming in from the west. My wife was a champ in being there to pick us up after the ceremony, so we didn’t have to mess around with an uber/lyft, in going for a quick and efficient portrait session at Huntington Park, atop Nob Hill. Later the reception was back at the hotel. A touching reel of the couple as kids played for the party, and I’m not going to lie to you - I shed a tear. Their deejay was spinning vinyl and had impeccable taste and kept the grooves and the people going. It was really a treat to get to document their special day.
