San Francisco Engagement Shoot { Jared and Carolina }

Recently I was up in San Francisco for a shoot with one of my couples for this summer. I think I've shot in San Francisco 5 times already this year, Jared and Carolina are getting married at the Bridges Golf Course in San Ramon, its funny, cause i grew up 2 miles from this course way before it was built, years ago! So they actually know a guy who was in a band I was in in College, Scott. Scott would fly me around to my weddings in a rented cesna and my assistant would pick me up in his parents Mercedes SL500. We rolled, baby. People would ask, "who is that guy"? I'd say, "oh him, he's my pilot". They loved it, haha, but seriously, we had a small operation that just loved to serve people just as we do now, and I drove so much, flying was the coolest thing ever. I still drive a lot, but i fly twice the miles i drive now. Yea, that means I drive 45,000 miles a year. I love it though, we have clients all over the state and its fun to visit them.

For this shoot we went to some cool spots around the city. It was kind of windy, so we did some indoor shots and I used some natural light which I love using when its foggy outside.

I love it when couples can vary up their looks, they were great at the "pensive" and thoughtful looking shots.

Even though Carolina's hair was windblown, she was looking stylish with Jared and they had a great time.

I always love to get cool stopped motion shots, where other stuff is blurry, I think my shutter speed was around 1/15th of a second. It was very dangerous in the middle of the street, but totally worth the shot! Totally San Fran.

If you were at 1/15 how did you get the rest of the shot so sharp? was this on a tripod or did you improvise, or maybe you have really steady hands? thanks for all you inspiration.

Your work makes me want to have another wedding or makes me wish I had some products to photograph or something! I need an excuse to have some professional photos taken ... Maybe a pinup calendar for hubby's next birthday? Hmmmm....
