What a great wedding on Friday up in Napa. Nancy and Tim were amazing hosts and we had fun running around the streets of Napa taking images. Here is a taste from their weding. More to come

I have ventured off my weddings a bit with this image, I love shooting around San Francisco. When I captured this image I instantly knew that it would be a perfect fit for a submission to Outside Magazine.  I love the magazine and read it on a regular basis so I was thrilled when they let me know they were going to use it in there 2 page spread for the Exposure section.

It has been wayyyyyyy to long since my last post, so I’ll start off by getting back into blogging with my photography shoot in Hawaii from  a couple weeks ago.  Josh and Joanna were absolutely amazing and great hosts.  We had such a great day with some awesome weather.  How can you go wrong it was Hawaii, unlike the foggy windy conditions I have to contend with my San Francisco Weddings.   I’m looking forward to finalizing the edits (the one thing I hate the most is post production) but fun to revisit the day and self critique.

Stay tuned for more posts….soon… I promise.

As a San Francisco wedding photographer is really awesome with all the locations to choose from.

I’ll be attending as the exclusive wedding photographer at this event! I’m looking forward to introducing myself and chatting about everyone’s upcoming wedding. Please feel to say hi and ask any questions. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Many times when couples meet with me, they are very excited to see my albums and portfolios but forget to ask to see any examples of a complete wedding shoot. Most Wedding photographers love to show their best work, however they don’t have available examples of proofing books from a wedding. Why is this important? Seeing the wedding photographers proofs will provide a realistic view of the photographer’s complete work. Most photographers shoot digital now so it is quite easy to show 2 or 3 complete weddings either on a computer monitor or hard copy. This is as strong as providing testimonials because it will expose any weaknesses or concerns you have with their approach or overall quality.

I still remember the grueling process my wife and I had when choosing our photographer. It amazed me how many of these “Wedding Photographers” didn’t have their proofs available when we asked. There was no way we were going to invest thousands of dollars for someone to capture our story without seeing examples of complete weddings.

Remember, every image doesn’t have to be perfect but the overall work must show the value of what your willing to spend.

Next Tip: choosing the personality who will be shooting your wedding photographer

What a great day and I really want to thank Marissa Oyadomari who coordinate the Bridal Show! I put a little video together from the day showing some of the highlights. Next I’ll be in the OC for the next Macy’s event on Saturday March 8, 2008. Also Just a reminder for all those couples I met this weekend, If you are still looking this year for your San Francisco Wedding Photographer, my dates are getting booked, so contact me soon!

It was fun meeting everyone!
