San Francisco weddings. destination weddings. portraits. lifestyle.
In 2011 I traveled for almost every wedding that I shot. Traveling is an important part of my work as seeing and experiencing other places is a major source of inspiration for me. To date, I have traveled to Bali, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Cabo San Lucas, Aruba, Jamaica, Vancouver, Costa Rica and all over the…

Art Wedding Photography Trends « Tom's Art Photo Blog - [...] Don’t get me wrong, I’m not 100% against it…. as a matter of fact I happen to really enjoy it when done “properly”. I think Poser Images does a wonderful job at using this current trend in our society and yet still capturing something modern, unique, and fun. Others that I have seen will take current trends and MURDER them… over using it and making it tired. But here is a link to the wonderful images that I do enjoy and believe use this trend appropriately http://www.iamaposer.com/?p=8594 [...]
