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.
