Eddie & Katie ~ San Francisco

Mike — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 02:59:08 +0000

Needless to say I was very happy to go when Eddie and Katie approached me about shooting their wedding in San Francisco. It’s a ways off from Riverside, but such a beautiful city to host a wedding. The Presidio Chapel was simply stunning in its style and location on the old military garrison. And what wedding in San Francisco be complete with trolleys? Moving everyone from the Chapel to the reception at Cafe Divine in trolleys was not only a cool token of a San Franciscan treat, but it was also a great way to socialize with the friends and family who made the journey with them. Thanks Eddie and Katie for having me, it was truly a memorable experience. You guys are awesome :)

Got to play with a new camera for this wedding. The Canon 1Ds Mk2 is pretty sweet. It was hard to give it back when the day was over :(

Alex & Luisa ~ Date Night

Mike — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:31:09 +0000

Some of you may remember Alex from your wedding. He’s been helping me out for the past year or so. One of the best things about Alex is his ability to think differently. That’s probably why he’s such a good second shooter! Instead of going with a traditional engagement session, they decided to have a date night. It was a great expirence as thier photograher to just sit and watch and capture more candid moments from the evening as they interacted with each other. It was pretty special to capture such a unique time for them. You can check out Alex and his work here

Sean & Heather ~ Friendly Hills Country Club

Mike — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 05:36:26 +0000

Don’t worry, I gave Sean and Heather lots of color images! Just trying something different with the black and white. I’ve heard of some photographers shooting entire weddings in black and white, but I’m too chicken to shoot black and white straight from the camera. I do enjoy black and white images as they have some great strenghts. It can strip away color and distracting things that would normally catch your eye. Hopefully these will help you focus on the things that are important – rather the two people that are important ;)

I had a great time hanging out with Nate and Cindy for their engagement session. CBU offers some great places for pictures – which is good. Nate and Cindy go to my church, so I wanted them to be good. Enjoy :)

Eddie & Katie

Mike — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 04:49:17 +0000

Eddie and Katie rocked. They have such a cool story. They often traveled to see each by train while they were dating. It was really cool to hear Eddie tell me how “right over there I would wave good bye, knowing it would be weeks before seeing her again.” It was so special as their photographer to help them remember how their story began. I have to admit, it’s one of the best parts of my job :)

It may sound obvious, but it was cool going into the shoot thinking of ways to convey this theme in the pictures. Shooting in LA was like painting with a new canvas. The possibilities were endless. Which is why I’m really looking forward to the wedding next week in San Francisco – it’s going to be awesome :)
