I love my job. Photography is fun and all, but I get to really be a part of Such a beautiful moment in people’s lives, where for a few hours people are not afraid to express love. I’m there to capture it.
I took this picture years ago. I posted it on FB for the bride in 2009. She just made it her profile photo. Her comment “I love my dad.” What a great moment for her. I’m so happy I can do that for people, show them these wonderful moments in their lives.
I always love the chance to shoot a weeding at the Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame, CA. They have a beautiful location for weddings. A wonderful gazebo on a lawn with spectacular views of Crystal Springs Reservoir.
This photo was from a ceremony there in 2009. As a photographer, I love catching moments like these where people are glowing with real happiness. Everything is beautiful and nothing is fake.

The best way to get a shot like this with kids is to be friendly and fun. Kids won’t be rushed, and they look much less happy and relaxed if you are trying to boss them around. It takes longer, but it is worth the effort.
If you are taking pictures of your own kids, be prepared for the first hour to not be nearly as good as the second hour.
