Oceano Hotel and Resort Half Moon Bay Harbor

Jamie and Michelle tied the knot on July 4, 2010 at The Oceano Hotel & Spa in Half Moon Bay.  A perfectly overcast day created beautiful even light for outdoor images around Half Moon Bay Harbor.

I had so many great images it was difficult to narrow them down for the blog.

Thanks to David Lees for second shooting!

Santa Cruz Wedding at Chaminade Resort & Spa

Jeff and Susan were married on June 22, 2010 at Chaminade Resort & Spa located in Santa Cruz. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we had tons of fun trekking all over the property in order to capture a diverse set of images.

Susan was refer to me by Jen, the Pilate's teacher at the gym we both attended. It's always nice knowing others in attendance besides the bride and groom.

Thanks to Jennifer Low for second shooting!

Calistoga Springs Golf Club Wedding

Josh and Elisa tied the knot on June 18, 2010 at The Crystal Springs Golf Club in Burlingame, CA.
It was a morning wedding and although super windy, the puffy clouds were beautifully dramatic. I definitely suggest an up-do or tightly styled hairstyle for brides getting married here! Some of the bridesmaids had hair blowing every which way, but Elisa was all prepared.

Family Session

I photographed the Kwong family in their backyard this summer.  The little guy is super cute!  Like most kids his age we only had about 15 minutes to snap the family pictures before we lost his attention and he ran off to play.  I had fun chasing him around the yard capturing images of him playing.

Clos LaChance

I love an all day photo shoot to take the season into full swing.  Recently Judy Le of Iridescence Bridal completed her first full line of bridal dresses and called Karl Ko and I to photograph the merchandise for her website and catalog.  We were all very excited when Clos La Chance winery invited us to photograph on their property.  They have such a gorgeous venue!  It turned out to be a fabulous day of shooting!  

Thanks to all the participants for making the day so seamless!  Monica Kau of Signature Bloom, Tiffany Chiang of Design Her Image, Sophie Lai of Simply Perfect, Van Hsieh of Ocean Blue Video and models - Seema, Sarah, and Kenny.

My favorite shot of the day - below left.
