A colleague recently asked me to select my 10 favorite wedding shots from 2007. That turned out to be impossible, and I actually showed him 14 images. In the process of selecting those 14 images out of thousands that I created during my 2007 weddings,(I typically shoot 1200 to 2000 images for a full-day wedding!) I came up with a collection of about 100 photos that are now viewable in my Best Weddings of 2007 Gallery. I hope you enjoy them! As a teaser, here are a few of them...

I had the pleasure of working with Justin and Ruthie, as we did their marathon engagement session, in and around Santa Cruz, yesterday. Their wedding will be in October, 2009 (take note, brides-to-be, and book your photographer early - like Ruthie & Justin!), at Eagle Ridge Golf Club. We had a blast, roaming and photographing, and I was impressed by how enthusiastic they are about creating cool images, as that's definitely a passion of mine!

Ruthie mentioned how she loves strong vibrant color, which I guarantee there will be plenty of, in these first High Dynamic Range (HDR) images! I've decided to post right away, and add more images as I complete the processing of them. This will be a mix of wild, edgy HDR imagery, plus some more conventional stuff!

You may have noticed that it's not possible to leave comments! We love your comments, but are experiencing database troubles on this blog, which are causing this problem. Thanks to all who are visiting the Expressive Blog, and stay tuned for the launch of our all-new blog, coming soon. The new blog is being designed by the fabulous web engineer/designer, Scott Haines, of Newfront Productions.

I have made three versions of this photo. This second one, has been "desaturated" a bit, to tone down the color.

For this one, I did some color enhancements for a more vintage look. This is my favorite of the three!

Adam and Jennalee were recently married, in Sonoma, California. They are one of the most fun couples I have worked with, in a long time! They met when Adam's company was contracted to build a water tower (which is actually a cellular phone tower) on land owned by Jennalee's family. I loved hearing the romantic, sweet story of how they fell totally in love, during the construction of the tower, and later decided to hold their wedding at the family estate, with the tower as the backdrop. I have decided to call it the Tower of Love! I would also like to thank Diana Casanova for her help photographing this wedding. You can click this link, to see some of her photos from this wedding.

Here a few of my images from their day.

Erika and Steven, were recently married, at the Saint Ignatius Church, in San Francisco. I had a great time working with them and their families and guests! If you have never been to the Saint Ignatius Church, you should definitely visit this beautiful historic church, on the USF campus. Here are a few images from their wedding day...

Michelle and David, tied the knot, last Saturday, in Alamo, California. Their wedding and reception were held at the Round Hill Country Club.
