Christmas Wedding photos from the Calvary Baptist Church in Oroville CA
Sasha and mark got married a few days before Christmas in 2007. I’ve often thought of their wedding because of one specific moment. They had requested that all of the family formals and wedding party formals happen before the ceremony. Most couples don’t do it this way, as it means they have to see each [...]

Infrared wedding photos from the Oakland Mormon Temple
Infrared wedding photos from the Oakland Mormon Temple When people get married at the Mormon Temple (or LDS Temple. Feel free to tell me in comments which is better) the temple itself is an important feature in the photographs. I love shooting there.

Infrared wedding photo in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose.
I thought I’d combine my new love of experimenting with infrared with my old love of wedding photography. This photo was taken in the park in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. On a busy Saturday, the park was full of people, and really not the most romantic place. A great place for [...]

Infrared black and white photography from the Big Sur River
I recently bought a digital canon, a D60, that has been converted to shoot infrared. Now, you can’t quote me on this, but here is to the best of my knowledge how this thing works. All digital cameras have a filter in them that blocks infrared and allows visible light to pass. In my new [...]

Wedding photos: St. Gregory’s of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco
Here is another wedding from deeper in the stack. Amber and Colin got married at St. Gregory’s Church in San Francisco. I’ve seen a lot of weddings in my time; Over 600. The ceremony at St. Gregory was pretty unique. It started off relatively similar to most weddings, people in a church, bride and a [...]

Napa Wedding. Churchill Manor and Marsha’s Vineyard
From 2005, this is one of the oldest weddings I’ve posted on this blog. (I have a very rigorous process for deciding what to post. I reach blindly into the drawer where I keep all of the old contracts, and pull one out at random.) I was using older equipment, and I had hundreds fewer [...]
