This is a wedding I photographed back in 2007. Sarah and Joel at the Crystal Springs Golf Course in Millbrae, CA. The wedding division of the Golf Course is run by Wedgewood Banquet and Event Centers. They operate a handful of wedding venues in and around the San Francisco Bay Area.

They have a really nice facility there for both your wedding ceremony and wedding reception. The ceremony takes place out aways up at a Gazebo as you will see in the pics. The reception is indoors back at the venue. It’s very easy and convenient to go from the ceremony site, to the reception site.

Posted by on Feb 26, 2010 in Commodore Cruises & Events, Detail Shots, Extraordinary Weddings, FEATURED, Night-time shots, San Francisco / Oakland Bay Bridge, wedding venues, locations, Weddings On The Water | 0 comments

I got some great pics of the San Francisco Bay [amongst a great many other shots] aboard the Commodore Cruise and Event vessel.

I always have a great time when I’m shooting a wedding on a boat. As you can see I excel at getting the landscape shots of San Francisco from the bay.

Black and White Film + Commodore Events & Cruises

This is a combination made in heaven. True black and white film taken at a wedding that happened on a Commodore Cruise & Events. I love weddings on the water and I love taking wedding pictures while sailing on the water. There’s something exhilarating about that.

Empress Yachts Sausalito, CA

Posted by on Feb 10, 2010 in Empress Yachts Sausalito, Extraordinary Weddings, FEATURED, Golden Gate Bridge, Night-time shots, Vendor to Vendor, wedding venues, locations, Weddings On The Water | 0 comments

What fun it is having your wedding or special event on a boat that is floating on the San Francisco Bay. But Sausalito Empress Yachts is more than just a boat rental. It provides individuals and businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area with elegant Bay cruises on yachts for any occasion.

Whether a yacht wedding cruise or rehearsal dinner, special birthday party or corporate event, corporate party, relaxing sunset cruise or holiday party boat, a private affair aboard one of our classic luxury yachts will be a truly memorable way to explore the SF Bay on luxury bay cruises.

Here are some wonderful photos I have been lucky enough to take on the Sausalito Empress Yacht. This particular couple, “Gary & Lisa” had their wedding ceremony and wedding luncheon reception at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley. You may have seen my POST on this venue earlier in my blog. At any rate, this portion of their wedding was actually held as a surprise. Guests were told they were going to a SURPRISE location. Bauer’s Transportation in San Francisco shuttled the people around on this and previous days leading up to the wedding {the wedding day culminated a 5 day event}.

I took a BOATLOAD [lol] of pictures of them on the bow [or whatever you call it] before any of the guests boarded. About 200 in the sequence. Most of the images were taken as fast as my camera would take them. In kind of a continuous shooting mode. Since I’m also a wedding videographer, I often think in terms of shooting real time motion and emotion as well as REACTION from guests, etc. Often though, my second / associate photographer is usually shooting reaction.

Being on the San Francisco Bay is awewsome! It was very cold that night [I actually ended up coming down wiith full blown pnemonia following this 5 day event] so make sure you bring a jacket if you go on one of these cruises.

They actually take you right underneath the northern tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.

This last shot you see here above, I really love it. I will actually put that in my Gallery portfolio of images I use for Hanging Art and Stock Photos of the golden gate bridge. My stock photos of the golden gate bridge are very unique and I do very well with them.

Wedding at the Outdoor Art Club Mill Valley, CA

Posted by on Feb 9, 2010 in Detail Shots, Extraordinary Weddings, FEATURED, Outdoor Art Club Mill Valley, Technique & Style, Vendors, wedding venues, locations | 0 comments

There’s a place called the OUTDOOR ART CLUB in a little town called MILL VALLEY, CA. I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding there. They had the ceremony in the back, below the huge redwood trees. Cocktails were served on the patio while the luncheon was served in the main room. After lunch they danced on the front patio. For someone looking for a really nice place to have their wedding, the Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club is a top recommendation.
