Heather + Gary | The Fillmore | San Francisco | Engagement Photography

Heather and Gary picked out one of the best spots ever for an engagement shoot. When they told me that they could get access to the Fillmore in San Francisco for their shoot, my heart skipped a beat. You mean THE Filmore? Where Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix and other rock legends played at? Yes, of course, that one. That dark, dank, auditorium with sticky floors welcomed us into it's arms with it's intoxicating smells of sweat filled fans from the night before. The first thing I did was head straight to the backstage room where every legendary rock star smoked out with their groupies and band members. It was surreal. Going back there for a concert will never be the same again.

My fantastically awesome studio partner, Aubrey, came out with me to shoot and half the shots are hers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Philadelphia Destination Engagement Photography | Dr. Sarah + Dr. Steve

This destination engagement shoot was special.  This is my cousin, Sarah, and her fiance, Steve.  She'll be the first to go in our family, so it's been fun realizing that I get to be such an integral part at this point in her life.  Ingrid and I spent almost a whole week out there with them, so we got to know Steve pretty well.  Before that, I had only seen him three times briefly, so hanging out with him at his home was very different.  They are both busy doctors, but Steve manages to watch and re-watch every episode of So You Think You Can Dance.  He's Tivo'ed every episode, so one night he got us caught up on the whole season!  We were mesmerized, because we actually don't own a TV.  

We'll be shooting their wedding next year, so you'll be seeing a ton of pics of my family up here, which is going to be a weird experience for me.
