Maternity Photos at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco

This shot is from a quick maternity portrait at the Palace of Fine arts in San Francisco – this beautiful pregnant woman is standing next to an enormous tree, looking down at her belly. I love the birds flying in the background and of course the grand architecture of the main dome feature of this […]

2015 Year in Review

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

Ichi Sushi (Architecture Photography) @ San Francisco, California

For this architectural interior photo shoot at ICHI Sushi, I had to arrive well after closing time so the place could be cleaned up and made photo ready. The main reason for this is because the main windows to the street bring in a lot of natural light, but not so much that the interior […]

Hawthorn Lounge (Architecture Photography) @ San Francisco, California

From the unlabeled, nondescript gray door entrance on Geary, you’d never know there was an epic underground lounge waiting 2 minutes from the sidewalk. Although I photographed the interiors on off-hours, when Hawthorn Lounge was closed, I could really appreciate the lavish decor, dark (yet brilliant) ambience, and the spare-no-expense sound system and general details. Enjoy some of […]

Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion (Restaurant Interior Photography) @ San Francisco, California

Roy’s needed some new interiors highlighting the different layout options they have for (semi) private-dining parties, and since we’ve worked successfully in the past together, they chose me for yet another restaurant interior photo shoot! Since I was there, I went ahead and shot the whole restaurant (it’s amazing if you haven’t been there!). Mostly […]

Becky and Sam (Engagement Photography) @ Skyline, Embarcadero, Ferry Building, Pier 7 – San Francisco, California

Sam is a close photographer-friend of mine, so I was honored when he asked if I could take engagement photos of him and his fiancé Becky. I’ll be one of his groomsmen in a couple weeks, so it’s good we got our shoot done when we did! The weather was clear and not-too-windy, which are […]

Sneak Peek: Nicole + Jesse (Wedding Photography) @ Shakespeare Garden, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

In some cultures it’s good luck to have rain on your wedding day… although here in ‘merica we tend to frown upon such circumstances. But you know what? Jesse and Nicole powered through it with smiles on this September day, and after the ceremony it cleared up enough to get some great bride and groom […]

Renee + Zak (Engagement Photography) @ City Hall, San Francisco

What a romantic, wonderful engagement session with Zak and Renee – and they picked such an amazing location. I’ve never seen San Francisco’s City Hall from the inside, and was grateful to discover that no photo permit was required. We started around 6pm in the evening, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. […]

Morton’s Steakhouse San Francisco (Interiors)

The CEO loved my Morton’s San Jose photos so much, corporate immediately booked my services for the San Francisco location. It really looks very similar to the San Jose location, except it’s two floors and they have a two full bars and a nifty glass wine room. Here’s a few of my favorites… Like what […]

Beautifull! Food

This is a follow-up to Beautifull!’s architectural photos, click here if you missed that post. We didn’t plan on shooting any food, but like many photo shoots, it just kinda… happened. It started out with a “hey, let’s get some shots of the [delicious] polenta fries in front of the oven” …which quickly moved on […]

Beautifull! New Restaurant (Exteriors/Interiors)

After opening their first San Francisco restaurant in 2009 (see photos here), Beautifull! wasted no time in opening their second SF location this week. They claim to offer “The best prepared fresh food in the world,” and having sampled the goods I won’t debate that statement. Alas, the food will show up in a separate […]
