Westminster Wedding being featured on TLC

Allyson and Jason are good people and friends of my wife. I was told that the original photographer she had hired was no longer available for her special day. I also found out that she was on an extra tight budget and only a couple weeks away from her special day. I could only imagine the stress so I offered my services to them since I was available that day. A few days went past and I got an email from the couple with excitement.

Wake Forest at Stanford Football!!!!!!

New Mascot, New Uniforms, 3-0 Record.

Yeah that's right, a new mascot...well at least the mascot uniform. The Stanford Cardinals still have a Tree as a mascot but it looks different...what else that threw me off is Stanford's new uniforms for football! Yes they are ALL BLACK!

San Francisco 49ers at Oakland Raiders

Once again, time to bring the camera out! It looks like I will be covering almost all the Raiders home games this year including Stanford. So, it is Football Magic time!!!

It has been a while since I have shot football so I actually found it very challenging, especially when you forget the most important object from your camera bag, and that would be a monopod to help you hold up the monster 400mm lens I have. Here are a few photos from the game! To view more, visit:

Night photography

This is an older photograph I took a while back. Night photography can be difficult. Especially when the ship shakes. But what fun would it be if you didn't get at least one good night shot?

Bank of The West Classic Part 2

I ended up photographing the tennis tournament for a total of two days. Both days the light was harsh, coming from above or behind. I was there basically to cover the bigger matches and they all seemed to be in the middle of the day. Now people always love shooting strait on and since Sunday was the final match for the big prize, the side where all the photographers was packed. I grabbed my safe shots and they ended up being good, but the same as every one else sitting in the same area.

Bank of The West Classic

Just like every time you shoot and event, you need to do a check on all your gear. Today I am gearing up to go to Palo Alto to visit Stanford and cover the Bank of the West Classic.

The gear line up includes the following Canon equipment: 5D MKII, 1D MKII and MKIII bodies, 70-200mm 2.8L, 16-35mm 2.8L, 400mm 2.8L series lenses, chargers, batteries, Think Tank International bag, a speed belt also by Think Tank, a MacBook Pro and a mono-pod.

Last year Marion Bartoli of France took the win.
