A summary of my nomadic photography experiences - Weddings, Portraits, Events, Travel, and Merry-making




With the trusty aid of my iPhone, I navigated my way through the rainy streets of San Francisco last Sunday to find Deb and Billy in their sweet Glen Canyon neighborhood. From there, we piled into Billy’s rig for what was to be a really fun engagement shoot in the nearby neighborhoods. Billy and Deb were up for pretty much everything. We dodged the public transportation, shadey folks hanging out in the Mission District, and even Mother Nature herself. I’m looking forward to the shots we get when Billy and Deb come to San Luis Obispo in a couple of weeks. Hopefully we’ll dodge the rain like we did in SF.

WOW Jon, The graffiti on the walls, the homeless man pushing the cart, and well it looks like a train is a coming. Way to put the people that pay you in danger…lol.

I just spent Saturday shooting a rad wedding at the Presidio in San Francico with Keith Dunlop (www.kdiphoto.com). It was the first wedding of 2009 for me. The bride and groom were the kind of people that make the six degrees of seperation actually maybe four or five. Both Jon and Eliza were old inhabitants of San Luis Obispo, during their undergrad years at Cal Poly. Eliza is now a biology student at U.C. Santa Cruz and Jon is a mastermind of software. I feel like my degrees of seperation were reduced when I heard that guests of theirs flew in from all over the world, including Africa!! Like the guests, the speeches and ceremonies were also laced with culture, with influences from Eliza’s Persian culture and Jon’s Latino background. Personal fav for the day: The Mariachi band leading the guests from the chapel to the officers club!! You can check out the venue at: www.sanfranciscoweddings.org

I LOVE this pic! No cheesy “glowing bride” shots for me. I am the sassy bride with the big attitude…don’t mess with me!
