San Francisco City Hall is a magical place that is always humming during business hours with the people’s work. It also has a continuous flow of tourists soaking in all of it’s architectural grandiosity, with an added spark of lovers eloping or having small weddings with friends and family. It’s a beautiful energy. Had a lovely time with Mais and Ashley as they got the full City Hall wedding treatment with these fun and adorable portraits, a great judge that added depth and wisdom to the ceremony, with their best friends at their side. Adding to this singular happening was a group of sightseers, straight off of the tour bus, gazing and adding their love and encouragement to the newly weds. It was amazing. Check it out.

MARTINA & GEOFF | SAN FRANCISCO PHOTOGRAPHER | FORT FUNSTON ENGAGEMENT
Martina, Geoff, Sunny the Pug, and I had a fun and fog filled engagement session at Fort Funston in the southwest corner of San Francisco. The day was a quintessential San Francisco day, cool yet comfortable, and the fog gave us it’s magical embrace at ground level. We chatted, hiked, chased Sunny, and watched hand gliders float over us, and generally had a nice time taking photos together. Enjoy the cuteness.

Jennie & Josh eloped in Oakland city hall. They lucked out with a solid officiant that had a wonderful presence and dropped some nice wisdom about relationships. Who doesn’t need that!?

After the ceremony we went on a little adventure for portraits around Lake Merritt, Grand Lake Theatre and ending up things Sequoia Bayview Trail in Joaquin Miller Park.

NATALIE & BEN | SAN MATEO PHOTOGRAPHER | SAN MATEO MARRIOT WEDDING
Natalie and Ben are two savants that found each other at an early age. They are really sweet together and super cerebral on a wide range of disciplines. For instance during our engagement session I was able to see their relationship and minds work in playful, as well as intellectual ways. They both work in math and science based fields, but can easily go in-depth on plant anatomy and then seamlessly shift into politics at a high level. They will poke fun and laugh at another’s infinitesimally small neglected detail on a concept. Super cute. Anyway, their wedding was a perfect combination of their personalities and the fusion of traditional jewish wedding customs with the modern world. At one point there was a wedding shtick where guests entertained and bemused the bride and groom with stunts, tricks and performances. What!? It was fun and lots of smiles were to be found. Enjoy.

JESS & NICO | SAN FRANCISCO PHOTOGRAPHER | SAN FRANCISCO CITY HALL WEDDING
Jess and Nico had a larger wedding a couple months earlier in Panama, but were officially married in San Francisco. Jess’s grandparents weren’t able to make it down to Panama, but were able to see her off, along with some close friends, in a lovely celebration at City Hall. Grandpa was the officiant adding much sweetness, as well as gravity and wisdom from a man who’s been married for more than fifty years. It just one of those weddings surrounded by a feeling of warmth and smiles.

ATLASSIAN | SAN FRANCISCO TEAM BUILDING | ORACLE PARK EVENT
Atlassian had an epic team building event with a scavenger hunt throughout the Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach neighborhoods of San Francisco. After all of the shenanigans were over with the hunt, we headed to the ballpark where the San Francisco Giants mascot, Louie the Seal, greeted us with spirit. DJ Trevor Williams rocked the party with tunes and his super capable turntablism. Everyone was served classic ballpark fare from hot dogs to peanuts and washed away the day with their beverage of choice chilling on the ballpark seats overlooking the beautiful Bay high above on the Virgin America Club Level.

Carrie and Aaron love experiencing the outdoors and have adventured all over the world together exploring epic back country. They chose Stinson Beach as the place to bring together some of their special people to celebrate in the midst of its natural world beauty and dynamic environment. Banks of fog rolled in periodically adding atmosphere throughout the day, but it was all sunshine during the ceremony. After the wedding and portraits above the beach along a ridge, we headed off to the Stinson Beach Community Center for the rest of the festivities. A beautiful day.

Eric and Katie reached out to help commemorate an elopement during their visit to Sausalito. This couple was so easy going and fun to be around and never flinched whenever I gave them silly things to do as we adventured from the Golden Gate Market, down Bridgeway through downtown and ending in the Sausalito Yacht Harbor. Loved the range of romantic, silly and fun photos that we were able to capture together. A total blast was had. Enjoy!
Heavybit has always been a treat to work with, but germane to this post is that they care about aesthetic and have great taste. That goes along with them wanting awesome portrait work for their speakers of the numerous events that they throw. I pride myself with making people feel comfortable and special when I have them in front of my camera. Here’s a series of portraits I’ve taken for them over the years highlighting that.
David reached out to me wanting to get an engagement proposal documented live. High stress material for all involved. Many props to David and his cojones for going for it. He shot and he hit nothing but net. Stephanie was joyous. Once I was unveiled to both parties we kept it pretty mellow, sweet and romantic as we explored the Conservatory of Flowers and then a mini adventure in the surrounding area of the Golden Gate Park. Got lots of lovely shots of these two cuties and a few solid shots of the viridescent plant life in the conservatory.
Photographed these two sweeties wedding a few years ago and they reached out wanting to take photos celebrating getting through the worst of the pandemic. They wanted to explore Pacifica’s Pedro Point and it was a joy documenting their relationship as it is filled with inquisitiveness to the world around them and a constant stream of intellectual and loving rapport. Check out our little adventure below.
It was a foggy day up in Bodega Bay, but the special love of Lauren and Loren definitely shined through. They brought Gypsy their adorable chihuahua they adopted during the pandemic along as well. We adventured around the Bodega Head trail and just let their unique relationship do the talking. Enjoy these cute photos.
Over 1000 Unite Here canvassers and allies convened for a car rally at the Starlight Drive-in inside Atlanta in support of Ossoff and Warnock for the two Georgia U.S. Senate seats. To witness thousands of cars and rally-goers honking and being lively during a pandemic and doing it safely is a powerful image forever imprinted in my mind. Union members provided the entertainment and hyped the crowd prior to the main event, Reverend Warnock bringing the heat on why it matters that he be elected.
I was beyond honored to have had the opportunity to photograph this Unite Here campaign rally in Atlanta to help elect Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock to the 2 U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. Over 500 political canvassers assembled in a show of force of their collective power while musicians, local politicians and speakers, such as Nsé Ufot of the New Georgia Project, helped provide inspiration and focus to why the runoff election mattered. You can definitely feel the strength and beauty of all the rally-goers spirits in this imagery. Enjoy.

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.

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

The Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease conference (CTAD) brings together international expertise on the latest techniques in fighting against Alzheimer’s. My Granny was afflicted, so it felt right to help contribute my talents in event photography to the cause in my small way. The 2022 CTAD conference took place in San Francisco’s Hilton Union Square and hosted hundreds of speakers and attendees. Lots of great presentations on the latest therapeutic trials were revealed and an attentive and friendly crowd was there to soak it all in. On one of the days they hosted a party with dim sum and jazz quartet for everybody to enjoy and relax to. Check it out.
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.
Did research to get the best breakfast burrito in Venice Beach where the AGS Masterminds Los Angeles event was taking place. $28 later it turns out AGS in the Rose Room had three types of breakfast burritos to choose from. Oy! My luck improved from there though and I ended up getting some great shots telling the story, and having a fun time while I was at it. Capturing all the people, places and things in this event photography. Once everything wrapped up, my man, Koren, the videographer and I hit up the boardwalk for 15 minutes or so to document that interesting scene. Stay to the end for those. Enjoy!
