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.

Erin and Brian Silhouette wedding photo

This shot was taken on the cliffs of Jenner California, a coastal town north of San Francisco. We were on a cliff above the ocean, the sun was setting, they had just gotten married. What else could you ask for? I love being a wedding photographer.

And just to round things off, here a few other photos from that set.
