Wedding: Joseph & Leah
December 11, 2007 | Filed Under weddings | 5 Comments
a perfect day and a perfect wedding in san francisco.

her wedding gown, I love the way the red lamp gave a nice color contrast.

Wedding Details:
Garter – two elements i like most in this photo, color and texture – a hotel chair was used for this garter shot
Rings – we love the rings! simple yet elegant. the golden color is due to the table’s colorcast and is otherwise platinum/silver in color.
Brooch – the underlying garment used here is the wedding’s color theme

anticipation, i can almost hear their hearts pounding

entrance, doors open, this is it!

the church was dark and flash photography was not allowed, however there were pockets of light that created natural vignettes. making the photos, in my opinion, more interesting.

one of the nicest churches in san francisco, mission dolores basilica

solemn

flower, once again the pockets of light at its best

teddy, i didn’t quite see who owns this but i’m pretty sure its one of the kids out front

curious, she wanted to see what’s going on

fervent

look back, one of the few opportunities to use flash. flash away!

bubbles

table setting, one of the detail shots taken by Carla as i was prepping the projector

Joe & Leah Engagement Video

i’ve always tried to make my slideshows on 16:9 aka widescreen format as i assume that they will be viewed again, long after the wedding. by then, i’m assuming most, if not all people are using widescreen tvs. I did however reverted back, as experience has thought me not all projectors and screens are widescreen compatible. i wouldn’t wan’t to risk being unable to play the vid during the reception program just for the sake of future-proofing.
they were an awesome couple to work with, they even provided the songs. it was joy making this vid.
wedding and engagement photos coming up. =)

Wesley’s Baptism
December 4, 2007 | Filed Under weddings | Leave a Comment
Murphy’s law, “what can go wrong will go wrong”. Venue schedules and availability needed to be changed at the last minute. There is nothing that can’t be fixed. All went well as if nothing happened. Everyone had fun!

“what’s all the fuss? all this is making me sleepy – yawn!”

holy water, one of the baptismal symbols.

dessert, mmmm yum!

show me your giveaway.
welcome to the christian world Wesley!
location:
St Jude Parish, Ceres, CA
Doubletree Hotel, Modesto, CA
