First things first, I don’t shoot weddings as the lead photographer - it’s not my jam. I really enjoy documenting moments as they unfold, using my photojournalistic background to capture those candid moments. 

So that being said, there’s nothing like shooting a wedding with a great lead - that’s Tammy Horton in the Bay Area. I know Tammy from my television production days back in 2002 or so (?) - we both were production assistants on the television show Ripley’s Believe It or Not! We reconnected about two years ago, both of us now photographers, and she’s been bringing me into the wedding mix. She’s great at what she does and the best thing about “working” with her is that we push each other in a creative way. 

This past weekend I worked my first wedding of the season with her and it’s going to be hard to beat. It took place at the Sequoia Retreat Center. Outdoors. Redwoods. Great light. Great couple. I don’t typically share stuff from weddings but why not, here’s my top picks. 

Congrats Chris and Claire.
