San Francisco, CA
Simple and easy – sometimes, not too often, but sometimes – you get a chance to take a step back and relax… I kinda stress about my shoots – and I admit, it’s not the best thing… But, I took it as a sign of a healthy drive – the kind that will get the creativity goin, you know? Well, in my quest to get better – to improve my photography – I can walk down a path that gets me a bit lost… Lost in the technical things, the ‘correct poses, the best perspective, and the right ‘post-processing’ looks… Wasn’t I supposed to enjoy myself? Have fun? Be a little bit adventurous and have a laugh in the middle of it all? Shoot to share and give?
Joanel and John came to me with a pretty simple request – do what you do… I think I do well listening to my couples – and along with that I gauge feelings, energy, and overall comfort level to deliver a vibe that gets mixed into the total vision. Now that equation = a lot of energy and effort, thus the stress. But, they wanted me to be sure – do your thing, we are easy and simple… So, a bit of getting to know each other through laughter and an easy stroll down San Francisco’s Embarcadero results in a session with a couple that reminds me it’s okay to just relax – and have fun… Simple and easy – I like it
I hope you two had fun too!
Farmer’s Market in the Ferry building is a pretty sweet lil spot to visit in SF I’ve actually never been there before, so we had a little fun there, and the space resulted in one of my favortite shots of the day..
Native San Franciscan and the only time I’ve ever been to the Plaza was once in my childhood for ice skating – really?? Yes.. kinda sad – so many beautiful spots that I grew up in and I’ve barely been to any of them… So when we came across it – it was a done deal Loved these next few
Joanel and John – Thank you both for being sooo easy and fun to shoot with – just reminded me to relax and have fun with it, and you have no idea how much I needed that with the craziness of my most recent days… and thanks for trusting me to capture your wedding day next year! Also, thanks to my wife Vaness for coming along as always and providing some other fun angles too… We’ll be in touch
