As the season of weddings draws to a close, I am looking to push my photography to a new level, try some interesting things, and add a bit to what I can offer to my clients. Of course, the best way to do this is with practice. I also have the new top of the line camera from Nikon, and I will be joining another Berkeley photographer Peter Chang to put it to work with the new flagship camera from Canon that comes out at the end of November. We’ll be pulling out all the stops, with wireless flashes, big strobes, extra cool lighting and all sorts of nifty technical photo tricks.

Of course, we also need people for this to work. So here’s the deal. If you are a current client of mine, or a past client of mine, and would like to get some drop dead gorgeous photos of you and your significant other, just drop me a note. It’s totally free, and all I’ll need from you is a little patience and a few hours of your time. In return you’ll get the edited photos on a disk, and the chance to order any art prints that you would like. This would be totally separate and not affect anything in your existing packages. Just a few nice bonus shots!

If you are not a client yet, then send me a note telling me a little bit about yourself along with a picture of you and your significant other. This is open to everybody.

Preference will go to couples who would be willing to come in wedding attire. We’d probably be getting it a bit dirty (not too bad), but I promise it’ll be worth it. If there is a lot of interest, I might be able to do several shoots- though they will all have to fit in between November and early January.

This should be a great chance to get some extra special pictures to supplement your wedding day pictures and it will be a ton of fun! Just send me an email or give me a call with any questions.

Here’s a fun photo that I dug up of me hard at work. Gotta love being able to work with bare feet out on the beach.

Today I went to look at the locations for my client’s Rosemary and Phoenix, whose wedding I’m shooting tomorrow. We will be taking pictures at the Claremont Hotel before heading over to the ceremony at St. Clement’s Episcopal Church, and then on to the reception at the Highlands Country Club in Oakland. While at the reception site today I got a view of a breathtaking sunset over the Bay and took the chance to snap a few photos. I certainly feel lucky to have a job that allows me to carry a camera around all the time and gives me the chance to explore some of the more beautiful places in the world, while also encouranging me to find the beautiful in the everyday and ordinary.
