I was hired to shoot the 2012 Awards Ceremony at National Hispanic University in San Jose, and since I was there, we took advantage of the time to get some nice headshots of some of the faculty that showed up to the event early (ha! that’ll teach ya!!).

After a super fun engagement session up in the city, I was psyched about shooting Danny and Rachelle’s much anticipated wedding at Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose. I arrived early as I pretty much always do to get the lay of the land and find cool places to shoot. It was a gorgeous day […]

So what do you do when your desperate friend & coworker comes to you, saying he’s utterly failed to make a decent christmas card? You hook a brotha, up, that’s what!

My goodness, this day started out with gorgeous weather on the coast of Pebble Beach, CA – then while the bridal party was getting ready, ominous clouds accumulated over the ocean.

Okay, so this title requires a little explanation. Todd Spanier, the locally famous “purveyor of fine mushrooms” and self-titled “King of Mushrooms” works with Sent Sovi’s Josiah Slone on an annual dinner/event centered around, well, mushrooms and fine dining.
