Secrets to tell
Fuji X-Pro1, Fuji 18-55 mm f2.8
Picked up the Fuji 18-55 mm F2.8 for my upcoming trip to Vietnam and Thailand and have been enjoying it as a city carry around lens.
Point Bonita Lighthouse, Fuji X-pro1
As I told a client last week “Bay Area weather is always an unknown. It might be sunny, or foggy, or both at the same time.” This was the case on a Sunday; we hiked out to the Point Bonita Lighthouse and spent some much needed time sitting on the beach watching seals play in the surf. All photos shot with the Fuji X-Pro1, 35 mm 1.4.
Who brings their Macbook pro to the beach? This guy!
Geoff and Michael, Clift Hotel San Francisco Wedding
“We like to plan ahead.” Geoff’s email query began with these words, and as they were booking nearly a year in advance, I believed him! Michael and Geoff chose San Francisco for their destination wedding as a ‘halfway point’ for both families gather, Geoff’s parents are based in New Zealand while Michael’s family resides in and around Toronto. They booked the stylish Clift Hotel for their stay and wedding location to host a personal, intimate ceremony and celebration diner for their close friends and families.
Travel, family, and long-term friendship connections are clearly a theme in this couple’s lives – they met in London, and their decorations included a photo wall made entirely of snapshots from their global travels.
Many, many more images below the cut…

Good times on a two day shoot in the San Francisco sunshine with a video team from The Tree Productions.
Marriage Equality Celebration in the Castro
24 hours later and this still feels overwhelming. It’s almost hard to believe that this long road is over, that DOMA is put to rest and Prop 8 is officially part of California history. The celebration last night in San Francisco was epic, of course. Most touching to me were the families with children who showed up, as well as the older GLBT people. I’m in my mid-thirties and this is a tremendous victory, but I cannot imagine what it would have been like to been unable to marry my partner for most of our adult lives.
The ACLU has released a pdf of useful information for same-sex couples in California interested in being married, it’s right here.
Can you imagine a world where these two adorable people can’t marry? Me neither.
And yup, that person popped the question to their partner at 18th and Castro st.
A resounding ‘yes’!
More photos below the cut. Congrats to all the newly engaged couples, to the already committed couples who can now benefit from legal protections, to our GLBT soldiers who now have marriage benefits, and to couples separated by geography who can now be together in the United States. We did it, everyone. Love triumphs.
