The Expressive Blog

I actually don't remember my dreams, most of the time, but I figure Andy Warhol MUST have come to my dreams recently. Why do I think so, you might ask? Because I suddenly had the inspiration to create this photo-montage of Bob, Jerry, and Frankie, our household pets! I've always been intrigued by the work of the late Mr Warhol. This is definitely inspired by his art.

Once again, I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to get to know and work with yet another great couple! No wonder I love my job! Linda and Hussein held their wedding and celebration at the stylish and sophisticated Hotel Sofitel, in Redwood City. Note to brides looking for a fine venue, for their wedding: check out Hotel Sofitel, it's very cool. I had a blast shooting the day for Hussein and Linda. Here is a small selection of the images.

Tiffanny Aurelio, the Social Catering Manager at Sofitel San Francisco Bay, was on-hand making sure every detail was perfect. I was truly impressed with everything about the hotel staff service and style. Really... this is a venue to consider, if planning a wedding or other event on the peninsula. All the gorgeous bouquets and floral arrangements were from H&L Photography and Flowers.

After the ceremony, we had a brief photo-session at the nearby Oracle campus.

The guests were treated to a professional dance performance, by Project EM. You can see the Project EM Myspace site here. Lots of great photo-ops here!

Later in the evening I was able to take Linda and Hussein, briefly out for some cool nighttime shots at the hotel. I have found that if time permits, it is well worth the effort to do some relaxed photos of the couple, away from the guests. I think they really enjoy the quite moments reflecting on the day together!
