San Jose Studio shoot on August 23, 2008.

We started the day early and we got 4 models and 3 photographers to collaborate in the San Jose studio by S.F. Bay Studios.
I love working with models, since they want to get the perfect shot, they would do a lot to make it happen.
We moved old pepsi machine, we took some models outside to the hot weather, then we got them under some cold water... Wow what a day... :)
I had a lot of fun working with all the models, here are my favorite shots from that day.

Dror Catering, Inc. is the best meals provider in the bay area

Hi again,

Today I ordered some European & Mediterranean Cuisine from Dror Catering. I must tell you, they have some amazing dishes. The food is delicious, and it comes ready to serve. You must check them out!
They serve the entire bay area, San Francisco, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, San Jose, and more.
I love Dror Catering food, it was so tasty I licked my fingers!
Thank you Yair from Dror Catering! For the excellent service!

Today's studio session with Bernadett Otterbein

Today I had the privilege to work with a very talented marshal art's instructor, Bernadett Otterbein.
I have to tell you I was impressed with the flexibility she demonstrated. That was so amazing that at the beginning I could not really shoot since I was overwhelmed. I had to get myself together and begin shooting, and boy, I got some amazing shots!
Bernadett is so great to work with. She wants to keep getting better and better poses for her portfolio, and she is very hard on herself with the demands she has.
Here are two of my favorites shots from today:

Alisa photo shoot

Yesterday I met Alisa, a 13 years old model, at the Crossroads cafe in San Francisco.
We went to the piers and took some shots for her. Alisa has a natural attitude in-front of the camera. We tried many locations and I got ton of great shots for her.
Here are my favorites ... enjoy.

Models studio shoot in Fremont

Last saturday I went to Fremont to shoot one of SF Bay Studios studio.
We had several models show up and a meeting with many photographers from the San Francisco meetup group.
I had a blast, I took over 600 images... it was a lot of fun!
The models were very cooperative, and we all had a lot of fun.
Here are some of the photos I took:

Samantha & Alexander's wedding

June 28, 2008 started as a sunny day. On my way to Corralitos Community Center I knew this will be a wonderful day!
I had the honor to take photos at the wedding of Samantha & Alexander, a lovely couple that is full of smiles.
I arrived with my assistant and we got right to work, with Samantha's getting ready for the big day.
The day continued to be beautiful and the images kept flowing...
At the end my couple drove off in an old car.

Here are some of the images from that day:

Shiany & Felix engagement photo shoot in Half Moon Bay

It is a little late, but better late then never.
On June 21, 2008, my clients and my great group of helpers, Mayraav and Richelle, went to the Ritz Carlton hotel in Half Moon bay for shooting their engagement session.
I've known Shiany for a long time since we used to dance salsa together, and when she told me she was getting married I immediately decided to give them a full day engagement session as my gift.
So off we went around 10:30am. We arrived at the Ritz around 11:30am and discovered a gorgeous sunny day. The sky where blue, and the grass was green. I was lucky to have my two assistants. Both helped with the reflector to create amazing shots.
And since both my assistants are photographers as well we got a ton of photos the entire day.
We started at the hotel, taking some shots with the great view, then we went to the golf course and from then we headed to the beach. Both Shiany and Felix were wonderful, they cooperated with all our ideas.
By late noon time we headed to Half Moon Bay's main street and grabbed some pizza - what a great pizza that was...
With our stomachs full we headed to some spots in the main street and then we took off to San Francisco to Hyde street.
By the end of the day we were tired but happy!
By now I made Shiany & Felix a nice guest sign in book from our session - and they love it.
I am sooooo happy!!!

Here are some of the images from that day:

Janet & Forrest Wedding Photography - June 7, 2008

Last week I went to shoot Janet and Forrest wedding day.
As you might know Janet and Forrest are the clients in the video I have:





Janet was a beautiful bride, she did not stop smiling all day long! Even when I asked her to do a "serious" shot she still smiled... :)
Forrest - wow - he was a treat! When I arrived to their home, early in the morning, he asked me if I want to eat something - he said he will cook... I had a lot of work ahead of me so I was forced to decline his great offer.
Both Janet and Forrest were very cooperative with any photo ideas I had in mind, although the time was running short on us we still got some amazing shots!
After Janet & Forrest were ready - we took of in the limo and headed to Stanford, we spent 10 minutes there since Janet was worried that we might get late to the reception, so we wrapped things up and --- off we go to the reception.
The ceremony site was absolutly amazing, this was the first time I shot there, and I'm happy I booked another wedding to the same location: Crystal Springs Golf course in Burlingame.
The Reception was held at the Empress of China, located in China Town - San Francisco. It was a traditional Chinese Banquet with 10 course dinner - Wow WOW Wow what a great food! and a thrilling lion dance.
I am grateful for having wonderful clients like Janet and Forrest!

Ponti & Mathew wedding May 25, 2008.

Two weeks ago I had the honor of taking the photos for Ponti and Mathew's wedding.
The Ceremony took place in the amazing Ainsley house, The weather was perfect - it was warm and there was a great over cast - simply perfect for pictures.
The reception took place in down town Sunnyvale at The Del Monte Restaurant.
Ponti was very calm and happy, I was impressed, we went to FAUX to do the make up, and she simply shined.
Mathew arrived to the Ainsley house and we had a lot of fun taking photos for the man.
It was simply a great day!
