We’re so excited Jeannie and John have chosen us to photograph their beach wedding in Santa Cruz – but when they said they wanted engagement pictures with their motorcycles in a graveyard, we were ecstatic! This was definitely going to be a shoot for the “something different” section on our engagement folios page!
We met them and their gleaming bikes – Beauty and Wraith – and spent a couple of hours capturing moody shots. They may look quite menacing, but they actually spent a lot of the time kissing and canoodling (sorry guys!) – very romantic.

Particularly like the shot where the sun is just catching the angel looking down on them…

After a quick change we chased the sun to Half Moon Bay for sunset – alas, it was cold, windy and gray, but we managed to capture some more romantic moments between them.

Looking forward to being at the beach wedding later this year!

Slideshow from this shoot can be found on YouTube!

We were honored when our friend Sheila asked us to photograph the wedding celebration for her and new husband John at the Family Bible Fellowship in Newark. They’d married in a private ceremony at the end of last year in John’s hometown of Bakersfield.

They first met, and were friends, years ago at school and until recently had lost contact. Their celebration day brought family and many friends together for the first time and saw old school friends reunited.

We wish you a wonderful and happy life together John and Sheila!

Little Jordyn loved being in front of the camera -

- she looked so cute with her angel wings and bell, introducing Sheila and John to their guests.

We just love Black and White!
On more than one occasion, we’ve thought about limiting our output to just B&W, but the world is too colorful for that.
This post is just an excuse to post some B&W pictures we love from recent work. These started life as 21MP color digital files, but have our secret B&W conversion process, plus layers of grain added to mimic B&W printing techniques. Hmmm, probably too small to see on the blog – ho hum.
