Destination Wedding in Venice Italy

I was ecstatic to photograph a destination wedding in Venice, Italy 2 weeks ago. It was definitely one of the most exciting destination weddings! Maggie and Jaime resides in England but decided to have their wedding in the romantic city of Venice with around 50 guestshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif. After the ceremony, I accompanied them on a gondola ride and then more portrait around the city, the reception was at Gritti hotel. It was a beautiful day with gorgeous views whichever way I turned. I had great fun at the wedding and loved trotting around the city with my camera !

thanks to Giovanna of The Venice Wedding Planner creating this beautiful event.

Been invited to give a speech about Creating Awarding Winning Images

I was more than happy to share my experiences on my photography process in which has earned me 17 WPPI awards in the past year.

Post-wedding portrait in San Francisco and Baker Beach

Sandy & Eric were high school sweethearts that had dated for 10 years before deciding to quietly get married in a civil ceremony. They didn’t notify any family members or friends so they needed to send out a special wedding announcement. They researched online to find a wedding photographer who could match their style and ended up finding myself on Yelp. We had a great time shooting in San Francisco despite the weather and chills that usually accompany this gorgeous city. Thanks for my great partner Joey of Jbeautique.com did an awesome job on Sandy’s hair and makeup .
