This e-Session didn't start off too well as there was a huge back up on the way to Carmel, with a couple accidents. Luckily Erin and Jeff and myself started early, so we didn't lose much sunlight. Then to our surprise, Carmel beach was packed with people, on a weekday late afternoon. And that made Erin a bit uneasy to start with. But thanks to Jeff's sweet effort, he eventually made her feel more at ease. We strolled through the town, and the beautiful beach and had a nice time there.
It was a gorgeous day in the Napa Valley. The fall foliage was showing at its best everywhere. Christine and Kenny's wedding was held at the beautiful V. Sattui Winery. The combination of the lovely newly-wed, the brilliant colors of fall and the sweet scent in the air was a feast for the senses, and particularly a treat for my cameras!

If I hadn't talked to Julie and Alberto before their e-Session, I would have thought that they were professional models! From the very first minute we started our photo session, they were just so natural in front of the camera! It was a very enjoyable shoot with the sweet couple, not to mention the cooperating weather, with the nice warm afternoon sun.
I am an internationally award-winning photographer in wedding and family/kids photography. My service includes wedding, engagement, maternity, newborn, birth, family, kids, events and business/corporate photography. I have had a great passion for photography ever since I was a teenager and have been immersed myself in photography whenever I can. I'm glad I made the decision many years ago to switch my career to a professional photographer, and have been enjoying every photo session I have with my clients! I especially love documenting the precious moments for my clients into timeless stories for them to treasure a lifetime, just like I would have done it for my own family.
