Tina and Mike get married!

It was a little cloudy on Tina and Mike's wedding day, but that didn't stop anyone from having a wonderful time celebrating the marriage of two people who are so in love, and such great people individually. I was particularly moved during the dance between Tina and her Father, and Mike and his Mother. The kind of closeness they have is evident and rare, and brought tears to my eyes, which after nine years of photographing weddings, happens not too often. I felt honored to be their photographer.

Mike and Tina's Engagement Photo Session

Tina and Mike decided to have their engagement photographs taken in Golden Gate Park. We had a beautiful sunny afternoon, and lots of interesting places for photos. I have to give them credit for the best photograph that day, they noticed the light streaming through the trees at the top of a hill at the end of our time when we were finishing up. The image became the welcoming photo at their wedding. It's further evidence that it isn't me alone making the images, it's a collaboration. I couldn't do this work without the amazing couples I've met, I'm very lucky.
