Infrared wedding photo in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose.

I thought I’d combine my new love of experimenting with infrared with my old love of wedding photography. This photo was taken in the park in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. On a busy Saturday, the park was full of people, and really not the most romantic place. A great place for [...]

Infrared black and white photography from the Big Sur River

Napa Wedding. Churchill Manor and Marsha’s Vineyard

From 2005, this is one of the oldest weddings I’ve posted on this blog. (I have a very rigorous process for deciding what to post. I reach blindly into the drawer where I keep all of the old contracts, and pull one out at random.) I was using older equipment, and I had hundreds fewer [...]
