San Francisco Weddings

1) San Francisco wedding - Extravagant hotels, chateaus, and churches sitting on the banks of the mighty Pacific Ocean.  Nothing quite matches the beautiful rolling hills of the city against the very European and flavorful city of San Francisco.  Last but not least, let's not forget about the Awe inspiring Golden Gate.

2) Napa Valley wedding - stunning gardens, chateaus, and rolling hills of bright vineyards.  Not much beats a lavish country wedding in Napa Valley.

3) Bay Area wedding - Perched across the Bay from the lights of San Francisco, the Bay area has much to offer, from beautiful, lush hillsides, to large chateaus and villas.

4) Yosemite wedding - Pure granite awaits your stunning backdrops in Yosemite Valley.  From mountain lakes to the famous El Capitan, Yosemite will make your wedding photos into an unforgettable experience.

5) Lake Tahoe wedding- Sitting high above San Francisco, lies the gorgeous Lake Tahoe.  The first time you see Lake Tahoe Blue, you won't soon forget.  The  relaxing smell of the pine as you pose along the lake shore is sure to remain with you for years to come.

6) Point Reyes wedding - A lesser known National Seashore in the Bay area is Point Reyes. Come enjoy striking contrasts of the deep Pacific blue and cliff ledges as we wander the windy bluffs for an unforgettable photoshoot.

6) Monterey wedding - Come along the Coastal Highway to Monterey and south to McWay Falls. Enjoy the comforts of some of the finer places to stay in Monterey, and enjoy one of the most sought after destinations in the world for photos in McWay Falls.

7) Crater Lake wedding - One of my favorite places to shoot.  Crater Lake is the edge of my territory around the Bay.  You will not regret the distance traveled, however, as your wedding photos take on new life surrounding the clearest lake in the world.

Choosing a San Francisco Wedding

Is San Francisco the right place for your wedding?  If you are coming for a destination wedding, you will find few places in the US have as much diversity in destinations within such a short distance as San Francisco. The diversity also brings quiet and price differentials that can fit any need.

Picking the right wedding photographer

These videos are here to help you in knowing how to pick the right wedding photographer and also to prepare for the wedding.

Now while I would hope you would choose me as your photographer, in all honesty, you need to make sure you are picking a photographer that fits your needs and produces work that you would enjoy having.

So here are the steps to picking the right photographer:

1) Be honest with yourself - What will the photos be used for? Will they fill your walls for everyone to see, or just for your eyes only? Maybe you don't need to splurge on an expensive photographer, or get a paid one at all.

2) Figure out the max you can spend on a photographer - A wedding is great, but it really is only as good as your memories of it. If you have a choice between cheap tablecloths and an expensive photographer - get the photographer! My favorite Russian saying is you buy twice what you buy cheap.

3) Ask the photographers questions - Before you decide to just pick a photographer, reach out to a couple you really like and ask them questions about what to expect, and if they can do a style you like.

4) Communicate expectations - In the end, the best photographer is one that fulfills what you want from the wedding, and in my experience this can be any photographer!  But you need to be explicit with them about what you want. Show pictures, talk to them,  make them understand exactly what you are expecting, and most photographers will deliver!

How do you know we're legit?

We want to make it fun! We love photography, and our first goal is to make sure that you have the best experience you can possibly have.  It takes a little bit of courage to have a photo session with someone you don't know, and that is why we are going to be there with you every step of the way.  In many cases, you may be traveling to San Francisco. We will be there walking you through the process and communicating with you long before you arrive, up until the delivery of the final product.

Communication

We spend so much time communicating, that there's little wonder that we become good friends with almost everyone we photograph. No matter what your needs, you can know that you'll have someone you can rely on and work to make your photos and experience special.  Still not convinced?  Check out some reviews on our Facebook page and Yelp page.
