After my “Have a picture perfect wedding with a Green Photographer” feature on the San Francisco Examiner’s Green Weddings section last week the ShootQ blog kindly featured the article.  As a Green Wedding Photographer ShootQ is one of the main resources i use to manage my studio and has made my journey to go paperless seamless.  ShootQ allows me to track all leads, have my client sign their contracts online, send out invoices automatically, organize my workflow, have all my client event information accessed easily via my iphone, and many more.  Sign up for Free and take the tour here: “I wanna ShootQ too!” or click on the badge below.

I was featured yesterday on the San Francisco Examiner’s Green Weddings section.  I had a great time on my interview with writer Patti Lew who just had her own green wedding last year.  Being a Certified Green Wedding Photographer has allowed me to incorporate my lifestyle into my profession while meeting some amazing people in the Green/Eco space.  Check out more green wedding articles on Patti’s SF Green Wedding Examiner home page.

For the brides out there reading this is for you. My friend Michelle, owner of MB Wedding Design and Events will be having this wonderful event in San Francisco you must check out. I will be there as the event photographer to photograph what i expect to be a gorgeous evening. I love being an event photographer, i meet so many fun people that way. Come join us!

Promises and Pearls was created by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini, owner of MB Wedding Design and Events and Beverly Yip, owner of Especially Yours Chair Covers in 2007. The boutique style soiree is a one of a kind event that allows couples to find wedding resources in a low-key, yet swanky environment. Designed to focus on brides and grooms who know what they want and don’t want to shop around, only one or two vendors per category are invited each year to participate. We pride ourselves in showcasing only the finest event professionals in each category. Each professional is hand-picked by Michelle and Beverly and participation is by invite only.  After two years of producing such a successful event, we continue to inspire those couples who dream big and love whole heartedly. We hope that you will consider participating in our event this year and should you have any questions about our soiree, please do not hesitate to contact either Beverly or myself.

Yours Truly,
Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini and Beverly Yip

I was photographing an engagement session on the Stanford University campus yesterday when i came up with a great gift idea for my Dad.  My Dad attended Stanford University and was part of the 1969 graduating class.  As i walked around and photographed my couple i took some extra images of the buildings and beautiful vistas.  One of the most stunning buildings is the Stanford Memorial Church.  Stanford Memorial Church weddings book up years in advance my couple said. Yesterday we saw about four different wedding photographers with couples. Stanford Memorial Chapel has become a great backdrop and destination for wedding photography images. I would love to photograph a wedding at the Stanford Memorial Chapel, it’s just a gorgeous location.  This morning i downloaded the images and created some screen-saver/background images for him.  Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!

Another classic landmark is Hoover Tower.  It has an observatory platform and is about 14 stories high.  Will definitely try to get up there next time.

Join me on Friday, June 12th for a wine tasting and silent auction event benefiting YMCA Urban Services of San Francisco. Proceeds support over 38,000 at-risk youth and their families throughout the Bay Area.

I will have the pleasure of helping Urban photography this event which is sure to raise funds for a great cause, so I hope you will join us next Friday at RF80 located in the Potrero Hill area of San Francisco.
