Wedding at the Spinnaker Restaurant Sausalito

Marisa and Joe got married at the fantabulous Spinnaker Restaurant in sunny Sausalito, CA. I’ve shot quite a few weddings at the Spinnaker in my 20 year career. I’d say I’ve been there at least half a dozen times. I’ve always tried to get on their preferred vendor list for wedding vendors. Maybe with this truly amazing wedding I photographed, I can finally achieve this goal.

The day actually started with a bridal prep coverage at a nearby hotel. After that, the ceremony AND reception commenced at the Spinnaker. If you are ever in town, Spinnaker Restaurant has the best seafood in Marin County, period!!!!

Marisa just left me a glowing 5 star review on YourBridalPlanner.com. Please  click here to read it.

Embassy Suites Hotel Burlingame outdoor wedding photos

These are some of the latest wedding pictures I have taken at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Burlingame, CA. I have worked at this hotel for 20 years now and was lucky enough to get on their preferred vendor list very early on in my career. At that point in my career I didn’t even think of pursuing getting on any lists, I just got lucky because one of the banquet manager’s there liked me and put me on the list.

At any rate, I work there alot. Here are some of my latest wedding photos from Kay & Voltaire’s wedding in February 2010.

They had their ceremony at a different location. Later, I will be posting the wedding video and more of the photos from this fabulous wedding!

Michelle & Dennis’ Wedding aboard Commodore Cruises & Events

I got some great pics of the San Francisco Bay [amongst a great many other shots] aboard the Commodore Cruise and Event vessel.

I always have a great time when I’m shooting a wedding on a boat. As you can see I excel at getting the landscape shots of San Francisco from the bay.

Black and White Film + Commodore Events & Cruises

This is a combination made in heaven. True black and white film taken at a wedding that happened on a Commodore Cruise & Events. I love weddings on the water and I love taking wedding pictures while sailing on the water. There’s something exhilarating about that.

Empress Yachts Sausalito, CA

What fun it is having your wedding or special event on a boat that is floating on the San Francisco Bay. But Sausalito Empress Yachts is more than just a boat rental. It provides individuals and businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area with elegant Bay cruises on yachts for any occasion.

Whether a yacht wedding cruise or rehearsal dinner, special birthday party or corporate event, corporate party, relaxing sunset cruise or holiday party boat, a private affair aboard one of our classic luxury yachts will be a truly memorable way to explore the SF Bay on luxury bay cruises.

Here are some wonderful photos I have been lucky enough to take on the Sausalito Empress Yacht. This particular couple, “Gary & Lisa” had their wedding ceremony and wedding luncheon reception at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley. You may have seen my POST on this venue earlier in my blog. At any rate, this portion of their wedding was actually held as a surprise. Guests were told they were going to a SURPRISE location. Bauer’s Transportation in San Francisco shuttled the people around on this and previous days leading up to the wedding {the wedding day culminated a 5 day event}.

I took a BOATLOAD [lol] of pictures of them on the bow [or whatever you call it] before any of the guests boarded. About 200 in the sequence. Most of the images were taken as fast as my camera would take them. In kind of a continuous shooting mode. Since I’m also a wedding videographer, I often think in terms of shooting real time motion and emotion as well as REACTION from guests, etc. Often though, my second / associate photographer is usually shooting reaction.

Being on the San Francisco Bay is awewsome! It was very cold that night [I actually ended up coming down wiith full blown pnemonia following this 5 day event] so make sure you bring a jacket if you go on one of these cruises.

They actually take you right underneath the northern tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.

This last shot you see here above, I really love it. I will actually put that in my Gallery portfolio of images I use for Hanging Art and Stock Photos of the golden gate bridge. My stock photos of the golden gate bridge are very unique and I do very well with them.

Theresa & Dru’s wedding Embassy Suites Burlingame

I thought I did a pretty good job at this wedding. But you know what? I can always learn something. Being in business for 20 years now, things can get pretty relaxed and sometimes I can get complacent and let my guard down. This is a trap that I try hard to avoid. Being good at anything, I mean anything sometimes makes you feel like you don’t have to prove yourself anymore. I can guarantee that if you hire me to be your wedding photographer, I will go above and beyond the call of duty to prove myself to you and make you happy. Customer service and customer satisfaction is VERY important to me.

Wedding St. Patricks Church and Corinthian Yacht Club Tiburon

Here are some wedding images from the wedding of Emily and John. The Ceremony took place at a Catholic Church in Larkspur called St Patricks.

After the ceremony we took some pictures over in the town of Tiburon close to where the reception was taking place.

The lighting was tough because of the harsh overhead sun, but as usual I overcame all obstacles and delivered some great looking shots.

The reception took place at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon, CA. Having a wedding reception at the Corinthian Yacht Club is great because it is right on the water. There is also another Yacht Club a stone’s throw away and that one is called Tiburon Yacht Club.

I had a tough time breaking the couple away from the party. But we managed to sneak off behind the club and take some loving candids.
