Co -Owner at Archival Decor
San Francisco Bay Area
I have been photographing events since 1994. I have experience with events of all size and caliber, weddings to corporate. I shoot both film and digital, giving my clients the best of both worlds. I am equally comfortable photographing intimate gatherings and large VIP situations. In addition to events, I specialize in family portraiture and boudoir. I also develop web site image content for a variety of corporate clients. My past event clients include George Lucas, Dom Perignon, Sam Raimi and Kenny G and Louis Borders. I have contributed to web sites for companies such as Crosspoint Venture Partners, School Messenger, Seaglow Candles and Basic Training SF. My work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Town & Country Magazine and San Francisco Brides and numerous other magazines and books. I have collaborated on "The Wedding Planner" book, as well as many best selling greeting cards and gift bags, with Papyrus, a nationwide retail chain.
