Welcome to my blog I'm a wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a very simple philosophy and style:
I shoot life, as it happens. I thrive on shooting split-second moments that mark
life-altering experiences: an extended gaze, a touch of the hand, a tearful smile.

I capture the details that few people notice, the moments everyone wants to remember,
and ultimately the feelings that can be relived, over and over, for years and decades to come.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. I hope it gives you some
insight into my skills, experience and professionalism. Please contact me if you
have any questions or are interested booking an appointment.

The boy you see on following photo is Tristan, son of the bride and now step son for the groom. (Tristan, about 13 years old...hmmm... must be named after my third favorite Brad Pitt's movie, Legends of the Fall. Yeah..I said it...I like Brad Pitt movies). The image is really tells you pretty much the whole wedding, but not what you think. We did get rained out and had to moved the ceremony inside. I'm pretty sad about it. I didn't get to shoot the Bridges Golf Course the way it was meant to be photographed. Plus, my portrait session got cut to little to VERY little time.

Tristan is the major part of the vows made by the newlyweds that poured the same amount of tears as raindrops you see on this photo. I have to say, if you are ever going to make a vow, might as well make it with such passion as Stephanie and Khai's. Thanks you both for reminding me why I love attending and shooting weddings.

Side story: Tristan looked at me funny everything I asked him to pose for a photo. I'm pretty sure he will endear to me after seeing this only photo blogged for his mom's wedding.

I'm going to sleep now. It's the only photo I can post before I crash after an exhausting day (Hope my grammar and spelling hold up. Hard to think right now). Stay tune.

One of a few portraits we could squeeze in between rain showers.

Can you believe the following group photo was done with one take. Well, I could do a second take due to the extreme time constraint. Look at the gleaming smiles on the entire bridal party...probably assisted from their afternoon liquid desserts.

Stephanie :

OMG Tyler...these are soo great! I love the pic of Tristan...and yes he was named after Brad Pitt's character :) Glad you figured it out! Khai and I totally appreciated you and your crew for making us look so spectacular on our special day! Can't wait to see the rest and looking forward to working with you more when we take family portraits :)

Beautiful pictures, as always! Great job! You were right, I did cry when they spoke their vows to Tristan. It was a precious moment. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

If I had to describe a moment when my job was like a picnic, Katie and Matt's engagement came the closest to it. Blessed with amazing weather, I got to hang out with the two sweetest people and the most well behaved dog in the Bay Area, Bjorn. Hope you guys enjoy the day as much as I did. Though the drive was long, I went home feeling so relaxed wishing I could stay longer.

KatieMattE_04.jpgThe following two incredible photos were taken by Calvin, my second shooter (yes, when they are free, second shooters love to come out and practice with me. I love the passion). But I really don't enjoy being shown off that much. But it's always good for my clients.

This IS perfect weather and Bjorn is a great touch. It's like everything you guys are all about: each other, food, outdoorsy picnic things, and Bjorn. I love the picnic photos!!
