We shot a few weddings this last month. This time in Healdsburg, CA. Shown here is Aaron in a hotel room just two hours before his own wedding.

This is Lisa and Cameron. They just got married in Sydney, Australia at the Sergeants Mess as Erin and I (Flash Bullet) had the pleasure of shooting their wedding.

349/365. Love — be spontaneous

Everyone, meet Megan, Claude, and their Moms. They just got married.

Continuing along with the end of the year favorite photographers, I wanted to call out Maxime Villalonga, a Paris based Photographer from whom I've also gathered much inspiration and has heavily influenced my own photography. Give his work a look and click back a few pages.

242/365. This is Tina — visit the train station yourself

Todays photo features a "twopher" (yeah, that means two for one... or something like that). Be sure to view the subsequent photo.

Erin and I (or I should say Flash Bullet) had the opportunity to work with Tina, a model from the Bay Area via a new contact of ours, Phu Nguyen, who provided the dress, and his wife did the makeup.

This photo was taken in front of the Trolly stop at Market & Powell, San Francisco inbetween trollys coming and going (and as you can see, one is coming right behind Tina).

You strobaholics.... get on with your thing...

170/365. A metaphor for many things ~ Me
try 'em on for size

These are our wedding rings. There is a long back story to how we arrived to these ones... but... not for here.

I also had about a thousand quotes going through my head for this photo... all a bit funnier than the previous.

Regarding details on the rings themselves... you'll have to ask Erin. They're made of a metal of some sort... and I'm sure that's a diamond on hers.

Finally, if you're curious on wanting to make your jewelry look like this, read on...

83/365. I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned ~ Such Great Heights (The Postal Service)

This was a gift from our good friend Anne. They were perfect. Thanks!
