Most city folk I meet here claim that they never go to Pier 39. Well, we flipped the script. A clear, sunny afternoon provided us with a tasty variety of shots. Birds, seals, ocean, old wood. An intoxicating San Francisco evening. Nomi & Michael’s first date was at Cafe Trieste, so we gravitated there just…
A gloomy weekend weather forecast relented and changed its mind, leaving a clear but chilly day for Yulia and Sasha to get married. After a brief ceremony at the Russian Consulate in opulent Pacific Heights, we visited the Palace of Fine Arts and the Golden Gate bridge for a brisk portrait session. Beautiful couple. Beautiful…
David and Megan are masters of misdirection. All the costumed guests who showed up at Crissy Field on Halloween day were expecting to see David to surprise Megan with a marriage proposal.

Patsy and Tony said “I do” on a beautiful fall afternoon in Los Gatos. After the joyful ceremony, we took advantage of the afternoon sunlight to take some portraits in the park nearby. The Opera House is an intimate space, with an antique staircase and quirky carpeting. It also has space for a huge dance…
A couple weeks ago I packed my camera gear, plenty of water, and ventured out to Black Rock City, Nevada to take part in the Burning Man festival. The desert is an amazing place to shoot: the light is always changing, the dust storms are brutal, unpredictable and fascinating, and people’s self-expression and creativity are…
A warm, sunny Saturday afternoon in San Francisco is always a great occasion to venture out to North Beach. The place moves at a different pace from the rest of the city: The frantic foot traffic, bumper-to-bumper autos, strolling tourists, industrious maître d’s…all of these things combine to give North Beach a constant sense of…
