During labor day weekend, for the first time, I went to New York City! You probably wouldn’t expect a photographer to say this, but I think people take too many pictures. People are always pausing for the iPhone, and I feel like it’s distracting from actual experiences. For this reason, his trip was a little […]
Ask Guests to Keep Phones & Cameras Down If you don’t ask guests to put their phones away for the ceremony, I guarantee that when you come down the aisle you’re going to see iPhones instead faces. Guarantee it. Also, The WORST thing is when your photographer is ready to catch an important moment and […]
You shouldn’t have to know what to do If you hire a great, seasoned photographer – taking photos will be just as fun as the other parts of your wedding day instead of something you need to get through.

But during detail photos time, I get to do justice to all the work you’ve put into making your wedding unique. I love […]

Did you even go to London if you didn’t take photos here? The red phone booths, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace… Iconic But when you travel with Caili and her camera, you’re going to get a little more than most tourists. This day was as grey as I’d hoped London would be. We crossed a bridge […]
This engagement shoot reminds me of the 20th Century. Just everything is so classy and timeless. From Ingrid’s pumps and curly hair to Marcos’s car— just EVERYTHING. And Ingrid and Marcos are absolutely wonderful. They make each other laugh so much. You get the best view of the San Francisco skyline from Treasure island, but […]
