After spending 2 wonderful days in Paris photographing Nanie & Clif's wedding portraits in May, the couple officially tied the knot in San Francisco on 9/9/09.  To continue the French theme, Nancy Liu Chin, incorportated lemons and the color yellow for a French twist!

After spending two wonderful days shooting wedding portraits of Nanie & Clif around Paris, I spent a few days on my own shooting some personal work with my holga.

Nanie & Clif actually love anything French inspired.  Nanie spent some time living and attending school in Paris and always dreamed about having her wedding photos taken in Paris.  When they came to visit me at my studio, Nanie immediately said the b&w photos on my walls reminded her of the b&w french posters she had on her walls while living in Paris.  Nanie hired Nancy Liu Chin, to make her a silk bouquet that would survive the trip to Paris.  Here are some of my favorites from our two days in Paris.

Christina and Rich are not actually engageed but are good friends who wanted take some fun Holga shots.  We had a great time shooting around Yerba Buena Gardens.

Even great action shots can be captured with my Holga.

Olive and her parents, Hayley and Matt, live in this charming apartment complex with a center courtyard and fountain that made for a spectacular background for our family portrait session.

I love the color palette my holga procduces right out of the camera.  It looks very 70's.
