サンフランシスコ シティホールウェディング撮影

サンフランシスコ シティホールウェディング撮影 最近、沖縄から、サンフランシスコ郊外のイーストベイに引っ越しされてこられた、Rie & Pat さんを撮影しました。 サンフランシスコ シティホールは、本当に素敵で、どこで撮影しても絵になりますが、やはり人気は正面の階段ではないでしょうか? 背景に人が入らないようにタイミングを見ながらの撮影です。 まずは、シティホール内で撮影を始め、お天気にも恵まれたので、外でも撮影し、その後、挙式。挙式中は、私も感動してしまい、もらい泣きしてしまいましたが、リエさんがとても、面白い方で、撮影中は終始、笑顔が絶えず、楽しい撮影となりました!シティホールでの結婚手続きには、証人がいる為、私が証人になりました! リエさん、パットさん、ご結婚おめでとうございます。末長くお幸せに!

Baker Beach & Palace of Fine Arts Family Session

Baker Beach & Palace of Fine Arts Family Session I first photographed this beautiful family in my studio in Walnut Creek three years ago when their third child was born for a newborn family session. It was in the middle of COVID-19, and I remember wearing a mask during the session! Mom contacted me to update family photos, and I was excited to photograph them again!  She wanted a large wall portrait to display in their living room; she wanted the Golden Gate Bridge!  We lucked out with beautiful weather and no fog at the beach!!  We started at the Palace of Fine Arts, then headed to Baker Beach for sunset! Now, the family has beautiful 30x40 canvases of family portraits!! Thank you for choosing me again to document your family growing up!
