2011 Sweetest Thing

Congratulations to Kylin and Brian Chang! The couple tied the knot today @ the SF City Hall. I gladly accepted Brian's offer to capture this moment for them.

I've only been to City Hall once before and it was just inside the entrance. I never thought there was such detail and artistry inside. Now I see why a lot of the couples being wed that day came here. The lighting wasn't too challenging since it was lightly lit throughout; the use of a speedlite with cyber syncs was all I needed. My VALS (voice-activated light stand) did a great job! Thanks Kerry! Final photos were posted with some HDR for the background and little foreground. I used 24-70mm all day.

BBQ Block Party with Jazz slipped in

I first shot for the Brewing Co. last year at one of their monthly gigs at Velma's in South San Francisco.

the Brewing Co. is the elitists of jazz music in the bay area.
"SFJazz Summerfest is a seires of free, outdoor summer concerts. This concert features Clifford Brown III & The Brewing Co.

Led by the acclaimed young trumpeter Clifford Brown III, grandson of jazz trumpet legend Clifford Brown, The Brewing Co. is firmly rooted in the post-bop jazz of the 50’s and 60’s with branches reaching to today’s soul-jazz and nu-jazz movements. Don’t miss this intoxicating band that defines the concept of “cool and smooth.” - SFFUNCHEAP.COM

Jenna started modeling at the young age of 16. not only is she a model, but a ballerina! so if i wanted, i could ask her to do some pretty physical stuff. i decided to keep it simple and sweet. she's a cutie, and i think i got away with some nice shots.50mm 1.4, ambient light580ex II 430ex II
