Ed & Matt | San Francisco | Gay Wedding Photography
Ed and Matt met exactly seventeen years ago, and now they had traveled to California from Ohio to be wed.

Usually, I do a brief recap of my favorites in my annual year-end reviews (2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011). But here’s a more thorough round-up…

At the beginning of December, I got to travel to Houston, Texas to photograph my friend Amy’s newborn baby. And of course, I made the most of my time while I was there! I stayed in this beautiful artists’ compound that I booked on airbnb, I had a rental car, and I explored all around…

Thanksgiving in Tiburon
I got to spend this past Thanksgiving with my friends Dan and Paul, and Paul’s whole family. It’s actually a bit of a Thanksgiving tradition for all of us (or various combinations of us) to gather together in California. Though Paul is from Cupertino, his parents now live in Singapore, so they rented a home…
