Jen & Brian!

Jen and Brian got engaged in February! The last time I saw Brian he was a groomsmen in my cousins wedding a few years ago. He's known my work for a while. Now I get to come out to San Francisco to photograph their wedding next June. I can't wait! San Fran is starting to feel like a second home, so any reason to come out here is a good one.

It was a pretty cool day today and the Golden Gate Bridge was completely fogged in. The fog started to break while we were taking pictures.

I had to post some pics before I left... I'll be flying back to CT in the morning!

Ahhhh... San Francisco.


How can I not come out here and photograph a steep street?








Pier 39! It was tough shooting around all the tourists.






A great view of the city from the Palace of Fine Arts.

RE:WORKSHOP Sacramento

I'm back at the hotel after a really long and TOTALLY AWESOME day. The RE:WORKSHOP took place today and I couldn't have been happier about it. It was a great group of photographers. I crammed so much information into the day. It even went an extra hour! That was followed by more Q&A over dinner! I've never talked so much before. It was awesome. I'll get some pictures posted when some of the photographer's send me some :-) I'm headed back to San Francisco in the morning and meeting up with Brian and Jen for their engagement session!

Ruby & Tony!

I made it out to San Francisco! I got no sleep on the plane... I can never sleep on a plane. So I went right from the airport to meet up with Ruby and Tony at the Golden Gate bridge to do their engagement shoot. It was a little hazy from the wild fires, and the wind was kicking up on the bridge. But I guess the wind is normal? Then it was off to the beach! Ruby has a thing for jumping. It was her big request to get some jumping shots.







Thanks to Ruby for taking the long walk up to the bridge columns in her heals!




They only had one side of the bridge's walkway open so the bicycle riders were on the pedestrian side. They were going through non stop.


Great for the album layout!


We went as far as taking shots UNDER the Golden Gate Bridge.


Ok Ruby... you can jump.

Sacramento Here I Come!

I'm sitting here, very tired, in the Jet Blue terminal in NY. It was a late night last night getting everything together for this trip. I finally got to sleep around 1am, only to have left the house this morning at 4am! 3 hours of sleep! I can't wait to sleep on the plane.

When I get to San Francisco I'm meeting up with Ruby and her fiance to photograph their engagement session. I'll then do the hour and thity minute drive to Sacramento to meet up with Carmen Salazar who is hosting the workshop.

I've had a few last minute signups for the RE:WORKSHOP. It's going to be a nice group of people. Can't wait to meet everyone!

Back in CT, And About To Leave!

So it wasn't so much Maine that I spent my time in. It was mostly New Hampshire. Our night out with Kelley and her friend Sara and Sara's brother Scott was quite amusing. Stories to be told... stories, and mainly photos, that shouldn't be shared! I'll have to really review those pictures before posting any. Portsmouth NH was a blast!

From Maine, er New Hampshire, to Boston to see out friend Christina for lunch. She's an amazing pastry chef at Flour in Boston, the one near the Children's Museum. I just ate all the deserts we brought home in 1 day. They are that good.

Then all in the same day we drove down to Mohegan Sun to meet up with my assistant Greg and his wife Melissa for the Billy Joel concert. It was AWESOME! This photo was taken from my iPhone.



I'm finishing up work on the RE:WORKSHOP! I fly out on Tuesday!
