this thing called Love.

Alessandra + Patrick | Carmel Valley

Delighted to photograph my college friend Patrick, and his wife, Alessandra's wedding in August 2012. (I'm backlogged with weddings and shoots but slowly catching up)...Their theme was adult camp in the woodsy campground of Carmel Valley where the light was soft and pretty. I absolutely loved their color palatte, and major major thumbs up (because i'm in Brazil where a thumbs up is as common as a wave) to the couple for planning their wedding totally DIY on their own. Incredible!! From the details to the ceremony to the flowers, it was absolutely beautiful. I'll be adding their wedding to my website shortly!

 

DIY bouquets

I love these nontraditional bouquets from Tiffany and Mike's wedding at CreekSide Terrace in Los Gatos! 

little mysteries

This image snuck on the tail end of a roll and its slightly underexposed, and super grainy...but love the look of it, as the bride steps down from the bridge, in this sort of timeless fashion. I love being able to shoot film during weddings. Its give me a chance to shoot some thing very unique to the standard digital images i usually create. Don't get me wrong! There's lots of beauties in shooting digital. But sometimes a grainy piece of photograph can have more character then a sharpened digital file. It brings texture.
