San Francisco and Marin Family Adventure Photographer
Photographic Experiences for Adventurous Families
Last week I met Susan and Geoff at the Sir Francis Yacht Club in the Marina in San Francisco. We met there on a grey, cold and rather typical summer day in San Francisco. We met at the yacht club because Geoff used to race boats in high school and they sometimes go sailing out of the berkeley … Continue Reading →
Last month I traveled to Capitoloa (about 90 minutes south of San Francisco) for one of my most memorable weddings. Carrie and Diego planned a beautiful wedding at the Monarch Cove Inn - a wonderful bed and breakfast with stunning views of the ocean, a lush garden and classic charm. Definitely … Continue Reading →
Love, love, love photographing people who are visiting San Francisco from some other place. Just gives a great feel to the entire day. Erica and Nate are moving out to the Bay Area from Pennsylvania this summer and were out looking at places (can you say "sticker shock"?). Their wedding is back … Continue Reading →
During this most enjoyable engagement photography session all around San Francisco, Melissa and I had one of those "how long have we known each other?" We ran in similar circles when we were in our "foot loose and fancy free" times after moving to San Francisco out of college (I'll spare the … Continue Reading →
Anne and Tobias are honeymooning in San Francisco and Tobias's cousin hired me for a photo session as a wedding present (such a great idea BTW). Little did I know this would turn into an adventure. I met them at their hotel and we talked about the various San Francisco options. Turns out they … Continue Reading →

I was … Continue Reading →
Well if rain on your wedding day means good luck, I'm going to assume that rain during your engagement photo session means extremely good luck. And if normal rain means extremely good luck, then Sam and Mike have set themselves up for a freaking fabulous marriage because it was down pore on … Continue Reading →
I met Ethan and Liana on a grey cold day in San Francisco for their engagement session. A lesser couple may have thrown in the towel but they went for it. Have to love seeing people that are willing to go forward when there are many good reasons not to. Have to believe that gumption is a good … Continue Reading →
As the photographer, I get to see the many, many out outtakes that don't make the cut from any engagement or portrait session. Generally I'll take 300-500 pictures then deliver 25-40 to the family/couple. But even if a picture is off for some reason (out of focus, something distracting in the … Continue Reading →
Take one part surprise, one part beautiful San Francisco evening at Ocean Beach, one part fun, energetic and wonderfully photogenic couple and you have the makings for a very fun and productive Valentine's Day photography session. J surprised her boyfriend J with sunset portrait session and I have … Continue Reading →
