It is hard to believe that it has already been a month since Jennifer and Jason's beautiful wedding down in Long Beach, California at the Hotel Maya. It was a great trip and Shelly and I had a wonderful time taking part in the festivities of the long weekend. I knew when I photographed Jennifer and Jason's engagement session here in San Francisco I was going to adore this couple. And adore them I did! Jennifer and Jason thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding. You are such a lovely couple and I feel so blessed to have been invited to document your day.

I have to give a HUGE thank you to A Diamond Affair, Laura and Garry were amazing to work with. They even let us borrow their super nifty radio headsets. Shelly and I thought we were pretty cool. Rodger dodger copy that, over and out.

I have recently had several clients comment on my 'Signature Look'. It is so funny how that happens. It is not manufactured in any way, it is just what I like. When I go out looking for a location I am always on the hunt for natural beauty. I look for the way wild grasses sway and dance in the wind creating a almost painting like background for my images. I look for the way the light filters through the dust in the air creating an almost magical scene. This is what I look for and this is what I suppose has become my 'Signature Look'.  Kathleen and Jason's family portraits is a perfect example of what I look for, and as you can recall from the recent blog post, 'Samantha's Music', I absolutely loved this session. Kathleen and Jason's family where so much fun and utterly beautiful.

It seems like ages ago that Charlie and I went on our  Scandinavian getaway. I suppose it has been about a month and so much has happened since then. Now, finally, I have a moment to sit down and think about our trip. Our first stop was Bergen, a beautiful little fishing town. We explored the market, and went for walks. We hiked to the top of a nearby mountain and got a beautiful view of the city. While in Bergen we went on a train/boat fjord tour called 'Norway in a Nutshell'.  Highlights: Passing through the town of Evanger (my families namesake) and trying real Norwegian Kumla (a staple at all holidays in my family). One of the funniest things about Bergen was finding a place to eat. Not only was it truly expensive, but figuring out where to eat was hilarious. In most countries we try to avoid other tourists. We figure the only way to find good food is to eat where the people that live there eat. Well, in Bergen it seems that only the tourists eat in the 'Traditional Norwegian' establishments. The people of Bergen all seem to eat at Fridays. The same Fridays restaurant that we have here in the US with the same menu, only it is about triple the price.

Here are some photographs from the trip, enjoy!
