The lovely editorial team at Junebug Weddings recently interviewed me for Photobug, one of their series featuring professional wedding photographers. It was an absolute treat to chat with them… and also a total honor to be featured on their site! Photographer Spotlight by Junebug Weddings – Catherine Hall of Catherine Hall Studios

Well-known and sought-after photographer, Catherine Hall, is an artist of extraordinary talent with experience in multiple types of photography. With the heart and eye for beauty and real life, her wedding photography is beautiful, intimate and deeply connected. We recently had the honor of speaking with her about her approach to photography, weddings, work and life, and we’re thrilled to share her words and images with you today. Enjoy!
Survivor star Stephenie LaGrossa and Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick.
Three-time “Survivor” contestant and viewers’ favorite, Stephenie LaGrossa, and Major League Baseball pitcher, Kyle Kendrick of the Phillies, are the couple that has it all. Both of them are successes in their own right, with the public eye trained on their fascinating and magnetizing lives. Stephenie is a phenom. She manages to be both elegant and an accomplished athlete, with a svelte figure, glossy dark hair, and glowing skin. Kyle is a handsome, all-American man with a contagious smile, and commanding presence. These two are a perfect match and even have his-and-hers pups – Kyle’s bulldog, Champ, and Stephenie’s precious Bebe.
The couple married at the lavish Silverado Resort and Spa, and their non-denominational ceremony took place on a brick patio next to a grove of trees. The below images of their magnificent, crystal-bedecked day narrate the culminating celebration of their romance, which began in 2008, when the two locked eyes at a bar. The rest, as they say, is history. Enjoy these portraits of the stunning groom and bride!

A horse-drawn carriage whisked the newlyweds to their reception, where adoring friends and family were waiting to cheer for the couple's marriage.
Silver and lavender flourishes complemented the black-and-white theme, accented with thousands of sparkling crystals throughout the evening.
Stephenie's and Kyle's wedding cake was four tiers of art.
This charming couple can look forward to a lifetime of love, prosperity, and success!
I wish them every happiness as they deepen and strengthen their relationship in the years to come. Thank you, both, for trusting me to share in your special day.cI want to take a moment to toast Wedding Coordinator Joannie Liss. She is
a visionary. Heartfelt congratulations, as well, to all of the gifted vendors who made this incredible ceremony a reality. You are all so talented!

Me with Epson's Andreas Goehring.
At the PDN PhotoPlus Conference and Expo 2010, I dropped by Epson’s booth to check out my new-favorite Exhibition Canvas Satin, on which they featured some of my wedding-photography images (look in the upper, right-hand corner of this picture to view the goods!).
It’s been under wraps long enough. Epson will soon release its Exhibition Canvas Satin, one of its specialty, signature-worthy papers the company is promoting in conjunction with some of its favorite photographers. I am completely blown away and humbled to be included in this elite group. I’m going to keep you guessing for now, but they include some very, very awesome (and famous!) people.
So, what does it all mean? Aside from decorating my studio with images printed on the new canvas, my wedding art is also the focus of a short Epson promo, which was filmed right here in my San Francisco studio. Look out for more details about the film in another blog post!

All smiles with Terry from Chimera, which is based in Colorado. Terry and I both love mountains and beautifully shaped light.
One of the best things about photography conferences, such as the PDN PhotoPlus 2010, is the chance to reconnect with my lovely sponsors. Please enjoy some snapshots with the people who make it happen!
Speaking of beautifully shaped light... If you

Hanging out with Joel Meisels from Adorama. They hooked me up big time with top of the line equipment for my Novogratz shoot.
A little interview for Chimera which will hopefully be on its site soon.
I have had a trusty Gitzo tripod for as long as I can remember!
This year, Bay Photo made a major contribution to the photographic community by sponsoring my metal print display at Burning Man. Sarah Bergeron was one of the awesome people that made it happen!
Having fun with Wacom boys Dan & Weston at the after-bash. I ditched my flumsy mouse in 2007, and never looked back... ever. In fact, even the idea of retouching with a standard mouse makes me cringe a bit. Sounds dramatic, but its true.
