Eric & Jenna, Los Gatos Dec 2009

Last weekend on a very wet and rainy day I met up with some friends Eric and Jenna to take some photos. Since the weather was absolute crap we were unable to shoot out doors. I really wasn't in the mood to shoot indoors so I moved the shoot to a spot located in down town Los Gatos which was out door but kind of under ground. Since it was a weeee bit cold the shoot didn't last all that long and I didn't nearly get as many photos of them as I wanted. Looks like we have to go out again soon when the weather is in our favor buddy ; ) Anyhow check out the photos we were able to capture by clicking here. Thanks for your help assisting Chill...

Brian & Michelle Hood Winter Portraits

Last weekend I headed out with some very close and long time friends of mine to take some portraits. That Sat morning I woke up to a very gloomy overcast day which put a frown on my face. Wheres the sun?? Come on!

Thank god , when I picked them up around noon the sun juuuust started to poke out and say hi. We also got extremely lucky and found a few trees which still had plenty of fall color left in them. Thanks for the fun times and the great memories guys. Hope you enjoy your photos.

Lanee's Family Portraits , Saratoga Hills

Two weekends ago my brother and I enjoyed a fun Sat afternoon talking photos of Lanee , her daughter and her brother. Little did my brother know this was also a cover up to get him out of his house...... Then bring him back over to my house after the photo shoot for his surprise 30th bday party = ) The shoot went great even though it was freezing at times. What was I thinking shooting with just a Teeshirt on ?? Click here to view the photos.

Becky & Ken Tanner Family Photos

Earlier today I had the privilege of taking some Winter Family Photos of my 2 good friends Becky and Ken...along with their adorable son Broody. We met up at Vasona Park which is located in down town Los Gatos CA. The weather was looking a little gloomy at times and wasn't sure how everything would turn out but in the end I'm very pleased with the end results. It's also helpful when you have 3 photogenic people standing in front of the camera = )

Wedding Fashion

A few weeks back a friend of mine asked if I could assist him with a photo shoot. Turns out a good friend of his started "Namrita Gupta Chettiar http://www.namritachettiar.com" up her own wedding clothing line and needed some photos taken of her designs. Once again it just happened to be one of the hottest days... triple digits :( Yikes I have to run so I'll post more later and make sure to include everyone's names that helped out during the shoot.

Chris & Katie Engagement Photos , San Jose State / Santa Clara University

On Sunday during a nice little heat wave in the Bay Area my brother and I headed out to meet up with his good friends Chris and Katie. They wanted to take some engagement photos at SJ State along with Santa Clara University. I was very excited to see that we actually had some clouds !! Don't laugh..... ; ) we never have clouds in SJ, just blue sky. I know , I know I shouldn't be complaining right ? Anyhow Chris and Katie were an awesome couple to work with. Very easy going and chill. Looking forward to shooting your guys wedding next month in Tahoe. Here's a few of my fav's.

Bruce and Tess Engagement Photos, Alameda CA

A couple weekends ago I met up with my cousin Matt to join him in an engagement photo shoot. It just so happened that another heat wave hit the Bay Area with temperatures in the high 90's. Ohhhh what a HOT photo shoot that was ; ) CLICK HERE to view some of my favs from the day.

Chris & Melissa's Wedding, Mountain View / Palo Alto

Wow where has the passed month gone? Guess I've been quite busy since it took me a month to get these photos up online for viewing. Back in April my cousin and I had the pleasure of photographing Chris and Melissa's wedding in Mountain View , CA. What an amazing church with high ceilings and beautiful stain glass windows. The Reception was held at the Palo Alto golf country club in Palo Alto ; ) Since the Bride actually works at the golf course we got the V.I.P treatment and were able to take some fun shots of them on the fairways while club members were still playing golf. Anyhow enough rambling CLICK HERE to view the entire album.

Playing With Off Camera Flash

I've been wanting to try this new technique that I learned from a fellow photographer Ed Pingol. Finally got my chance the other day while visiting my sister for her birthday. The following 2 photos were both taken at around 4pm in daylight even though they look like they were taken late in the evening. Thanks to my brother for holding the off camera lighting I was able to capture these 2 amazing photos of my father and niece.

Christy & Nick's Engagement Photos - Los Gatos

Last weekend I got to meet up with one of my sisters child hood friends and shoot her engagement photos in down town Los Gatos CA. Well it just so happens that a major heat wave struck the Bay Area on the day of the shoot and wow I was on FIRE ! Wearing jeans and a black shirt wasn't the smartest thing I've done ; ) Anyhow I had a blast working with Christy and Nick. What a fun loving couple who really enjoyed it when I said to kiss : ) I'm looking forward to photographing your guys wedding later this summer! Thanks to my brother Jon and my cousin Matt for assisting me in the shoot. CLICK HERE to view the photos.

SF. Embarcadero

A couple of weeks ago on a late Sat night, I decided to head up to San Bruno and meet my cousin Matt at his pad to play some good old fashion Guitar Hero. After jamming for a few hours we thought why not take a drive into the city and snap off a few photos. By the time we rolled into SF it was already 11pm and Faaaaareeeeeezzzing cold ! I think we spent about an hour of shooting around the Embarcadero area ...... and it was around that time when I couldn't feel my fingers. Yah I know , what a bunch of CA sissies huh :P Anyhow Click Here to view a few of my photos. Not bad for hand held eh ;)

Ed and Cat's Wedding Jan 3rd

I had the pleasure of photographing Ed and Cat's wedding on Jan 3rd at Freedom Hall. For a January wedding the weather was just beautiful. The grass was still green and the trees also had a lot of color. Almost looked like a spring wedding not a winter wedding. My cousin Bob and I had a great time photographing their wedding. Lots of friendly faces and good times for us. Oh check out the wedding cake.... the brides sister baked it. Not only did it look amazing but it also tasted grrrrreat. That's my Tony the Tiger impression. Anyhow CLICK HERE to view the photos. Let me know what cha think of them : )
