Menorca and Krissi Island, Crete Video

Hi Ya´ll,
Bryon and I arrived in Menorca a few days ago and have been driving around exploring this little island. Menorca has very diverse scenery with rocky landscape and cliffs in the north and limestone and sandy beaches in the south; its fabulous! To top it off the people are really friendly too.

I haven´t had a chance to upload images yet, but Bryon was able to get this short video online from when we were on Krissi Island, Crete.

Tuscany, Italy - Wish I was Photographing a Wedding Here!

Bellissimo!
It is sooo pretty in Italy! We arrived in Roma a few days ago and had a baggage scare, but after an hour or so of waiting all was good (long story). I love Rome, its my new favorite big city!
After two nights in Rome we picked up a car and drove to Tuscany area. We are staying in a place called Barberino Val di Elsa. Its just north of Sienna. We went to San Gimignano last night for dinner. The views are awe inspiring and the menu prices were jaw dropping (just cause the dollar is so weak).
Today we are in Sienna and we hiked to the top of the tallest bell tower in the Piazza (cant remember the name). Here is the stair case view and a view from the top.

Bryon and Chyna go to Greece

So as many of you know Bryon and I are in Greece and leaving for Italy today. My friend Tiffany was with us til Wednesday. It was sad to see her go home; she is a fun travel partner, able to strike up a conversation with anyone. We took a ferry last week to Krissi Island (see pic below) off the coast of Crete. While there Tiffany started talking to the captain of a yacht. No more fairy for us, El captain gave us a free ride back to port. So much better than the ferry!! Thanks Tiff! We have taken so many images i wasn't sure which one to post, I like this one of tiff and I on the speed boat coming back from scuba diving in Paros, Greece.
Bryon and I are off to Rome today and then to Sienna. I will send an update again soon.

Engagement Session at Palace of Fine Art

You'd never guess from these images that it was really chilly the day we shot Ryan and Monica's engagement session. They were quite the professional models. We shot all around the Palace of Fine Arts then went across to the beach for a few more images. I cant wait to shoot their wedding later this year.

Martinelli's Event Center Wedding - Livermore, CA

Charles and Jeanette were married at the Martinelli's Event Center in Livermore on June 3, 2007. It was a prefect day for an outdoor ceremony; not too cold, not too hot, just right. The ceremony was followed by dinner at the winery and an evening of dancing.

Marina Club Wedding - San Francisco, CA

Fun, retro, party, great details, pock-a-dots! Peter and Kate were married on May 27, 2007 in San Francisco at the Presidio Church and then had a very groovy reception at the Marina Club just next door. The event coordinators were Simply Sparkling Events. The beautiful cake was done by I Dream of Cake and the flowers by Kathy Thompson. These images give a good idea of the flavor of the day.

Hillsborough Racquet Club Wedding

Bob and Kristal got married on May 12, 2007 at a church in Portola Valley and had their reception at Hillsborough Racquet Club. The racquet club is such a charming spot with picturesque pillars and great wood floors for dancing the night away. These are a few of my favorite images. Oh, and the cake was sooo good!
