Napa Wedding. Churchill Manor and Marsha’s Vineyard

Jun 102010

Bride before the wedding, sepia Churchill Manor Napa, CA

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 weddings under my belt (at this point I’ve shot over 600 professional gigs, including weddings, portraits, corporate events, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs etc…) but I am still happy with my work, looking back.

Angela and Steven got ready at Churchill Manor in Napa, had a ceremony at Marsha’s Vineyard in Napa, and a reception at the Pelusi Building also in Napa.

Please take a look at the image above, and the image below. These are the same image, and the second one has been converted to Black and White. Back in the bad old days, you had to pick which you wanted to shoot, but now,I shoot everything in color and convert the ones I want to see in black and white. I think it words very well.

Formal Photo of Bride, groom in background. Los Gatos wedding

Wedding Photography from the Los Gatos Hotel and Spa.

The first interesting thing about the wedding of Reisa and Nino. Nino is from Bosnia-Hercegovina. I did some travel photography there in 2000. If you go to my travel photography gallery page 2 and look at the third photo you see this.

The bride and groom were doing just that, when they saw the photo, and the groom is like “I used to live across the street from that building!” They hired me on the spot.

They got married at a private home is Los Gatos, with a reception at the Los Gatos Hotel and Spa.

1 year old girl dancing at a 60th birthday party in San Diego California

This past weekend, my I flew down to San Diego to shoot a 60th birthday party. With the trip south, I’m a bit behind on my blogging, but I wanted to get this photo up ASAP.

The subject of the photo is just over 1 year old. She was dancing to live music.

I’d also like to take a minute here to offer a shout out to a buddy of mine. Robert is a photographer and videographer whom I’ve known since I was still shooting film.

He is now running a website called Your Bridal Planner. It is a great place to go to learn how to hire a wedding photographer

Bride Groom Kiss. Starburst. Reception International House UC Berkeley.

Sarah and Danial got married at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens with a reception at the UC Berkeley International House.

If you haven’t been to the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens, I suggest you go. It has beautiful botanical samples from all over the world. It is also a great place for a wedding. You can have a ceremony in the Old Rose Garden, the way Sarah and Danial did, or there is a redwood grove. (I’ll get around to posting ceremony photos from the redwood grove eventually.)
