    Half Moon Bay Engagement {Reetu+Rahul}

    February 22, 2019

    Half Moon Bay Wedding Photographer Photographing Half Moon Bay engagement sessions in the Bay Area is always amazing. I photographed Reetu’s sisters Indian wedding in Salt Lake City . It was wonderful to have the opportunity to work with her family again. They live in the Bay Area, and their wedding will be taking place at the Nakoma Resort in Lake Tahoe. Although I am based a couple states away, I always love photographing couples in California. The coast of Northern California is beyond beautiful. I love the high cliffs and beautiful light of Half Moon Bay. There is no shortage…

    July 30, 2016

    Katie and Brian had the most incredible and iconic Palm Springs wedding!

    Modeling Test Shoot {Joy Bishop}

    August 7, 2014

    Every so often I make trips out to Southern California to photograph head shots for models and actors. Joy is a working actor and model in Los Angeles and need a few new head shots by request of her agent. When a model or actor changes their hair or look in any way the agents often want new photos to represent them better. I always have a great time photographing Joy and was happy to hear within a couple days of getting here head shots out she booked several new jobs.
