San Francisco Engagement Session :: Janell & Oleg

This blog post is P. Diddy approved.

On my chopping block I give you Janell & Oleg. We went to San Francisco and left our hearts there. :P
I really try and venture to different location when I do go the the city. This time around we went to Van Ness and later to the Mission District. Both places offered as an awesome backdrop. We went on a ROOF! Did we ask permission? No. Would we do it again? Yes. Congrats my friends. Weddings gonna rock!

Big ups top my main man, (seriously, he is my main, man) QUAN for help as assistant. Hope y'all dig the set. Thanks for the blog love guys. :)

Lastly, I've answer 100+ random questions here:

Such a tender moment.

Seattle Wedding :: Janice & Lee

I've waited a while to blog this wedding. So much WOW. I went to Seattle, (Poulsbo) to shoot this one at this really awesome place called Farm Kitchen. Not my first visit to Seattle as I had shot their engagement session their some months earlier. I have to say that this wedding was a highlight in 09'. Everything was so good.

Guys got ready in Seattle and took a ferry to come over to the island. Girls got ready at this cabin. For being a really rainy city, the weather couldn't have been better. The light was amazing. So good. WAIT till you see her details. Mostly all were hand done and nothing less then awe inspiring.

BIG thanks to my buddy Sergio for helping out as second shooter. He helped out during the engagement session and come time for the wedding Janice & Lee asked for him exclusively. You really need to see his take on his blog.

Also want to say thanks to Josh for helping out as assistant well.

Happy Wednesday folks!

I'm still not sure why I had Janice hold the robot. Just felt right, who knows?
The dudes.


Sergios shot.One of my personal faves.

The wedding programs. The covers were all made by Janice & Lee and represent their favorite books and stories growing up. Janice's and Lee each held up their favorites.
