Burlingame Family Portraits with the Rossi Family

I was first introduced to this location about 20 years ago by my mom, who is a photographer as well. She is the visionary behind Dorothy Meyer Photography. It's funny, I used to come here to assist her on her portraits. I would change her lenses, hold the reflector, straighten out client's clothes, make the kids laugh, and load her film (yes, I learned photography "back in the day" with film cameras, on a Hasselblaud 501CM and a Maymia RB).

Everytime I go to a location I have been to before I try to find new areas within it to use for backdrops. On this occasion I had the opportunity to photograph the Rossi family here. The Rossi's were truly a pleasure to photograph and I thought the photographs turned out great.

Brian Wedding at the Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii

Last year I had the opportunity to fly out to the Big Island of Hawaii to photograph the wedding of an absolutely wonderful couple, Che and Monica Brian. Their wedding wedding took place along the Kohala Coast on the beautiful grounds of the Fairmont Orchid, http://www.fairmont.com/Orchid/

As the sun kissed the horizon during their ceremony to bring fresh light to another part of the world, it was a visual symbol of their two separate lives fading away and becoming one life together. Here is a glimpse into their wedding day. Enjoy.
