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!

DAVID & STEPHANIE | SAN FRANCISCO CONSERVATORY OF FLOWERS | ENGAGEMENT
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.

MIRAMONTE HIGH SCHOOL PROM | CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES | SAN FRANCISCO PROM
Photographing the Miramonte High School prom was an absolute joy. It was filled with nostalgia from my perspective, witnessing all of the rituals, the awkward moments, the jubilation, the horsing around and of course, some burgeoning romances. My proms and homecomings were typically in our High School gym and these youngsters were balling out at the California Academy of Science museum - incredible. I found them way more mature and cooler than what I remember from my youth and these kids knew how to party and cut a rug. It was a blast. Check it out.

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.
