]]> A few weeks ago I had the joy of photographing the wedding of one of the guys in my community group from church. Billy is a mature, faithful man and we’ve been blessed to have him in our group this past year. We already miss him!

I hung with and photographed the groomsmen while my friend Melissa was with the bridesmaids.

How beautiful are the engagement ring and wedding band? Billy designed both himself!

Congratulations! May your marriage honor the Lord as a beautiful picture of Christ’s love for the church!

We started at Curry Point and hiked the Summit Trail to the top. The view was a little hazy, but we could see the Golden Gate Bridge and the afternoon sun reflecting off the buildings in San Francisco.

]]> When one of my good friends from back home in Texas first approached me about photographing his proposal, I immediately said yes. I’ve known both of them for a long time and I was honored he’d ask. Months later it all came together when he surprised his girlfriend with a weekend trip to San Francisco. From my vantage point in the bushes at the San Francisco Botanical Garden this is what I captured.

]]> As you can see I’ve re-worked my website a little, migrating it from Symphony to WordPress and making some design tweaks in the process. It’s not fully finished, but if you happen across any bugs be sure to let me know. With the help of a friend I was able to migrate over all my old posts, but I haven’t migrated over comments yet (and might not, we’ll see). I know some old entries have formatting issues that still need to be fixed, too. I have redirects set up so all old links to pages, entries, and photos will still work.
