Another year and some great weddings that we were able to capture. It’s always so amazing to be able to use my creative gift at weddings and if so fulfilling to the artistic side of me, weddings really are my favorite thing to photograph and after 13 years I still get so much joy out of every single wedding that I am able to capture. Here is just a small sneak peek at some of our weddings in 2011! Look for some more highlights coming soon

Also if you are getting married in 2012 and are still looking for an artistic, creative photographer let me know we do still have some available dates for the year.

If you are looking for a fine art wedding photographer for 2012 let us know!

We had an awesome wedding last month for Janice and John at the Sunol Valley Golf Course. It was also great to see some of our past clients there, I photographed one of Johns groomsmen’s wedding (Brian and Keri at Leal Vineyards) and then another one of their friends (Christina and Ricardo) so this was the 3rd wedding with this group of friends. They are a fun group of people and this wedding was no exception. Lots of great times and some good chair dancing that was a perfect end to the night. Check out this quick highlight slideshow! Congrats John and Janice your wedding tuned out awesome!

One thing that definitely defines my artwork is passion. Really when it comes down to it passion drives us all. It pushes up beyond our limits and makes us reach for the sky. Here is a little insight into me and the art that I create.

I am passionate…

Passionate for moments, passionate for life, passionate for laughing, singing and dancing (my dancing may be pretty bad, and my wife may get a little embarrassed when we are out in public but I will tear up any dance floor. It usually won’t look pretty but i’ll always have a smile on my face). I love the saying “La Dolce Vita” in Italian translated means the Sweet life. Waking up in the morning with a fresh breath of air, enjoying the gifts God has provided me and the beauty that lies all around me are inspirational to me. I love the little smiles my daughter gives me when she wakes up. I love watching the trees move outside dancing to the wind while I sip on a Mocha. I am passionate for capturing life through my camera’s lens.

One thing that I have always been passionate about in my photography since my teens was capturing those perfect moments. For me that perfect image is always right in between moments when people put their guard down and are just being real, being themselves. I have always loved how photography can capture so much emotion and that perfect image can just bring you right back into the day. Photography for me will always be a way to capture life & to tell stories.

For most of you that really know me or have seen me work know that when I am shooting I get into the shot. I always want to capture the fun of the day and am usually laughing, smiling and crying along with the rest of the family. I was editing a shoot from last month and came across a shot that my 2nd photographer took of me while we were shooting a few bridal party images. This image brought me back to the fun of the day and really got me to remember why I do what I do, it’s not just a job its a passion.

And I always have to include a wedding shot in a post

Congrats to Francis and Lea Ann! A beautiful day from start to finish and even with the beauty of The Ranch Golf Club in San Jose, a lion dance group to announce them in this wedding really reminded me that what really makes a wedding special is the people. Such a fun group of family and friends, everybody was full of joy and it was a great celebration. I knew from the moment I went up to the girls hotel and Lea Ann was smiling from ear to ear and laughing the entire time she was getting ready that it would be an amazing day! Congrats again guys your wedding day was awesome and I was so happy to have been a part of it.

2009 was another year with some pretty awesome weddings we were able to photograph. We get to travel all over for weddings and always get to see some pretty amazing locations and work with some really fun couples and families. Here is a little review of some of the great weddings we shot in 2009.
