The leading wedding guide company of California, Here Comes The Guide, has recently published CHS images on their blog.  The images are from one of my favorite weddings of the year, Lucy & Ross at Viansa Winery, which was coordinated by incredibly talented Denise Auerbach and Laura Johnson.  Please enjoy the blog.

I was extremely fortunate to be included in Ron Dawson's F-Stop Beyond Series.  He has interviewed many of our industries top professionals such as the Woods, Michelle Celentano, Jim Garner, Joe Photo, etc.  He is an incredible artist himself and did and amazing job.   Below is his interview description and link to the show.

What do a massage therapist and a wedding and portrait photographer have in common? Well, you gotta listen if you want to find out. Perhaps it was Catherine Hall's experience as the former that contributed to her being such a terrific photographer. Or, maybe it was the nationally acclaimed skiing she used to do that gave her the competitive edge to rise above the rest. Or, perhaps, despite the fact that she was a middle child, instead of embracing a "Jan Brady" ("Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!") attitude, Catherine always saw herself AS Marcia. Whatever the secret, Catherine's experience as an editorial, portrait, and wedding photographer have made her creme of the crop in the industry (she was one of only a few women selected as "Young Guns" earlier this year at WPPI). This is one of those episodes that will make you laugh as well as give you inspiration. We cover a whole host of topics: childhood; massage therapy; skiing; west coast vs. east coast (she's bi-coastal, "not that there's anything wrong with that."); and, at the end, she gives us her take on two of the most oft-asked questions she gets as a speaker and instructor: how do you get sponsors and how do you get to charge high fees? We cover such a variety of topics, I've crowned Catherine "The Tangent Queen." 

Please enjoy the SHOW.

Sarah and Mike had a stylish, elegant, and contemporary wedding that took advantage all the city has to offer.  We started at the St. Regis for getting ready photos and portraits of the bride and groom, then continued on to an incredibly beautiful and serene ceremony at the Garden of Shakespeare's Flowers in Golden Gate Park, and the evening concluded with an intimate dinner party style reception at one SF's hippest restaurants, Foreign Cinema.  They made my job easy by being such a lovely couple with impeccable taste.

One of my favorite 2007 weddings, Rachel & Chris, is featured in this issue of The Knot, New York.   I photographed the wedding at the Vanderbilt Mansion in upstate New York with amazing wedding/fashion photographer Curt Littlecott.  Both feature and wedding slide show are available online.

Keisha and Troy's rehearsal dinner was full of stylish decor, great food, Cuban - yes Cuban - cigars, yummy cocktails and lots of dancing.  Kudos to the bride and her event coordinators because they completely overhauled the restaurant with the impeccable decor.  A great night that definitely set the stage for the destination wedding weekend. 

Enjoy the images!

Above is a photograph of me taking an environmental "scene setter' image from the roof of the Ritz.  If it wasn't for their amazing coordinator, Melinda Easley, I would have never got the shot.

Incredible venue, perfect weather, exotic location, kind family & friends and amazing clients - what more can a photographer ask for? 

Keisha and Troy's wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Grand Cayman was full of style and elegance.  The couple and their event coordinators Melinda Easley and  Bernadette Williams did a sensational job.  Keisha was a beautiful bride, so regal and full of grace.  As for Troy, you just have to meet him - one of the most charismatic, intelligent, sharp, and fun to photograph people.

Enjoy the slide show!
