I had a great time hanging out with Vivienne and Ryan today in San Jose. I finally get to do a session that is not in San Francisco. The only glitch was that we were asked to remove ourselves from a location trying to shoot some rains and tracks (Anyone knows of a place where I can shoot some trains boxes and tracks without being disturbed?). While having a little dinner snack at a local diner, Ryan suggested Juicy Burger if I ever to crave a hamburger. There goes what is really left of my diet.

I had a great great day photographing a former colleague, Stephanie, and her fiance( P.J.) in San Francisco. Not only did I get to re-unite with one of the sweetest friends, but experienced the electric atmosphere in San Francisco before a Giants playoff game.

We met up at The Mandarin Orient Hotel, where P.J. had booked a room as a surprise for his beautiful future wife. I knew it was going to be a special day once I found out the gift was for their Third Year Anniversary. On top of that, P.J had arranged a wonderful driver, Dean with Andiamo Livery Management, to take us around on locations. Very Convenient. Yes!

We ended shooting at multiple locations throughout the city nearby the Piers, with plans of finishing up at AT&T Park to capture the energy and ambient surrounding the park before the start of the game. I think the only people more excited than me (a sports fanatic) are Stephanie and P.J. as they entered the gate with front row tickets. I think their day experience could not have ended on a higher note as the Giants won on a thriller, 6-5...one win away from reaching the World Series.

Thank you Stephanie and P.J. for letting me part of your Special Day. I cannot wait to photograph your wedding. Go Giants!
