Rachel + Matthew | Calistoga Ranch Wedding

Check out Rachel and Matthew’s absolutely gorgeous wedding. Calistoga Ranch was the setting for their Big Day. I hadn’t met them before the wedding, but both Rachel and Matthew seemed to understand a lot about my style of working so it didn’t take us long to connect. It was pleasure working with them and their friends.

Heidi + Dean | Viansa Winery | The Wedding

Heidi and Dean decided to tie the knot at the beautiful Viansa Winery in Sonoma. Like many of my clients, we didn’t have chance to meet until the engagement session but I knew from our first phone conversation a year ago, it would be an amazing celebration. I was right. It was like spinning 360 degrees to capture all the emotions happening – all at the same time.

Preston Palmer - July 7, 2011 - 3:15 pm

I love the black and whites! Especially the one showing the bride’s tattoo when they’re doing up her dress. And the cross-processed edit on her dress a quarter of the way down before the long landscape crop of the three bridesmaids is stunning!

Three Little San Francisco City Hall Weddings

Life is finally becoming less hectic. Alex will be 10 months old on Wednesday and Kathryn just turned five. And while we are in the middle of the busy wedding season, I’m finding more time for posting. Occasionally I’m invited to photograph smaller (or not so small) weddings at San Francisco City Hall, but rarely had time to post them on my blog. I love these simple events because they’re so intimate. After all, very few, if any, friends and family members are invited and the few people who know each other well just automatically create an intimate feel for the wedding. It is such a privilege for me to be there, with just the small, intimate group. Please take a look at three San Francisco City Hall weddings I recently had a chance to photograph. I hope you like them as much as I did.

Hi Joseph and Alex! Thank you again for preserving these memories for us. We can’t get enough of your photos and videos. We already had a couple of photos blown up for our wall, as you suggested. (We’ll send you a photo of how it looks on our wall!)

To all couples still thinking about booking the amazing IQ photo and video duo… BOOK. THEM. NOW. The were easy to work with. They directed us. They kept us comfortable. They were on time. They were fun and they did an excellent job.

We loved every minute of our intimate SF City Hall wedding. Best wishes to all the City Hall couples including Michelle & Jihoon, Jeannie & Dominic!

Veronica - June 1, 2011 - 12:47 am

It is very interesting way to create slideshows. I love it.

Petra - June 1, 2011 - 12:47 am

Beautiful. I love the retro style of your movies.

Srisuda from The Buddha Garden - June 2, 2011 - 11:27 pm

Thanks for the nice video montages. They show that even a civil service wedding can be beautiful. Being located in Marin, I was curious if you have ever done any weddings out at the seminary in San Anselmo. You probably have and I probably just missed it, but it is really a nice place to shoot as well.

As a part time photographer, one of the saddest things for me was when they put up the ugly chain link fence around the lake at the palace of fine arts. Is it still there? Yikes, I hope not.

Keep up the good work.

Jeannie - June 2, 2011 - 11:45 pm

Thats it… Big wedding plans scrapped. Go City Hall. Will call soon. I know who is my wedding photographer.

grace @ wedding favors - June 3, 2011 - 6:31 am

San Francisco city hall is really beautiful! All three weddings are perfect

Paula - June 3, 2011 - 2:35 pm

It is such an emotional way to present a wedding story.

Jeannie - June 4, 2011 - 9:19 am

Such happy moments, can’t stop my tears running everytime i watch it. Thanks, Joseph!!

Alla - June 6, 2011 - 1:49 am

So beautiful! It makes me want dropping my big wedding plans and keeping it simple.

carlos@firenze - June 7, 2011 - 9:41 am

Beautiful memories that these married couples with enjoy for life. Love the video concept for each one.

Ashley and Brian | Pasadera Country Club | The Wedding

It was a wonderful experience being back at the Pasadera Country Club again – it’s such a beautiful venue. Working with such an amazing couple like Ashley and Brian was a story in itself, which I hope you’ll see in the photos. They are cool, relaxed, and filled with wonderful emotions of love, happiness and joy. It was a pleasure being with their loving family and their terrific group of friends.

Paul from Photography Poses - May 23, 2011 - 10:13 pm

These photos are terrific. Marvelously done. I love the way hard light mixes with the soft light/details of your picture. The angles are all memorable, and it gives action to the image. What’s your photo editor, btw?

Brian’s very first photo at that big door is so cute, he seems so happy that he’s getting married! And Ashley’s wedding dress is perfect.
