Black and White Photo of Black Bride and Groom

I met Julia and Otto at a cafe near their house in Oakland. One of the reasons they picked me over other photographers they liked, I have photos of African American people on my website. The even said “You’d think black people don’t get married, looking at vendors websites.”

I think their wedding was at the Hiddenbrooke Golf Club in Vallejo.

I particularly like this photo because it is simultaneously formal, candid, and photo journalistic. I like to have a light touch during formals. Too loose, and people feel confused. Too tight, and you miss shots like this.

Today, I was on a photo safari, and went to Oakland’s Chapel of the Chimes.

I’ve been in the doorway before, but this is the first time I explored the place as a photographer. I could have spent all month there. All in ages shot in RAW. Adjustments were made in contrast, color, saturation. These photos are meant to represent how I saw and experienced the chapel more than how you would see it if you went yourself.
