San Francisco Bay Area Wedding | Portrait Photographer

San Francisco Bay Area Wedding & Portrait Photography

Welcome to my Wedding & Portrait Website!

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my website.

I am primarily a wedding and portrait photographer serving the entire San Francisco - San Jose - Oakland - Bay Area. I have done wedding as far as the Monterey Coast. I can travel to Hawaii two to three times a year for wedding photography if you should need me. I have been a photographer since my late teens but did not pursue my dreams of having a business until 5 years ago.

I only do about 15 to 25 weddings a year due to the amount of time it takes to do a wedding photography properly. If I am not shooting weddings or portraits, I am working at my other job as a ER Nurse. Otherwise, the other times I have is keeping my two kids busy doing things that they are interested in.

Wedding Photographer / Wedding Bridal Show / Weddings

It will be a busy year for me next year. My dentist just bought several dozen photography gift cards at a reduced price for his clients. I should expect people calling to set up an portrait appointment by January. I’m crossing my fingers that I will be finish with the San Jose portrait clients by March so that I can go on to weddings full blast during April through September.

Anyways, I will be a wedding photographer vendor in the February 15th at Foster City Crowne Plaza and March 1st at Milpital Embassy Suites for the BRIDAL SHOWS. Please come see me, my albums, & products. If you happen to live in San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and anywhere else in the Bay Area please come-by and see me. I will be happy to talk to you about my wedding packages and see some of my wedding albums. See you then…

Edited: February 1st 2009

I have cancelled the Feb 15th but will be in the March 1st Bridal Show.

Portrait Photography of Josh

San Jose Portrait Photographer – Portraiture of Joshua

Portrait Photography of Josh / Portrait Photographer: Michael of Benipayo Photography / Hairstyle by Miranda (http://www.stylistmiranda.com/) who is a hairstylist / makeup artist and available for weddings.

To prepare for this portrait, Josh received a haircut from Miranda. I did not know that it takes about one hour of painstakingly making Josh a pretty boy. Thanks to Miranda, it looks like I was taking portrait photographs of a high school senior. The magic of good hairstyle and makeup can make you look so young again. Now, I just need to make an appointment with my hairstylist and maybe get a makeup???!!

Portrait photograph of Josh in San Jose, California industrial site. I played around with photoshop just to see how each can look different from the original photo.

Josh is not really this blond but the hairstylist wanted to highlight her work.

Piedmont Community Center in Oakland – Daniella & Jason

Wedding Photography -Piedmont Community Center – Oakland

It was a pleasure to photograph Daniella and Jason’s wedding. They were just soooo good couple and very comfortable in front of the my camera. Their wedding was at Piedmont Community Center, Piedmont, California. Piedmont is just East of Oakland and approx 30 min or so from San Francisco and 50 min from San Jose.
I’ve posted black and white wedding photo of them. Enjoy.
