Album Layouts

I always tell my clients that your relationship with the photographer does not end at the last dance... we spend a lot of time together after the wedding working, refining and perfecting your album. I allow an infinite number of changes and we go back and forth until you are totally satisfied with the final layout designs. My style around albums varies on the client, I have some that want a very simple, sheek, contemporary album and then some that want a complex one full of all sorts of embellishments. I stay away from things like tilting photos, blank areas, cheesy graphics and images cut into shapes... My goal is to make sure this album stands the test of time and will always look...nice. Here are a few layouts I like (they are rather on the complex side of things)

Baby Seth James Riley

Babies are some of my favorite subjects and a nice change from shooting couples. These shoots are generally 2-3 hours and loads of fun. They are actually quite challenging because unlike couples you can't really tell a baby what to do. Just have to be goofy in hopes of getting a smile. Here are some shots of Seth James Riley and their wonderful parents Goody and Steve. We love these guys!

Sheetal & Pratik: Couple Portrait Session: Part 1

Sheetal is my previous client's sister and I was super stoked when she told me she was getting married and wanted to hire me as her photographer! Pratik is her handsome groom from Canada. We started off this couple portrait session in beautiful SF Baker's beach. Hard to believe, but we had another beautiful day in SF... with sun...in February...its just unheard of! Here are some of my fav shots of the beautiful Sheetal and her charming fiance Pratik:

Sheetal & Pratik: Couple Portrait Session: Part 2

Our second half of the Couple Portrait Session was up and around downtown SF. This is quickly becoming a favorite location among my clients. We got really lucky with the trolleys!
