Okay, we knew it was coming.    The editor from the Style section knew a cool idea when she heard it and decided to feature our June 4th couple in the Father’s Day Sunday paper.  The article is wonderful, all about how Jenna & Justin picked the crosswalk of a Potrero Hill intersection to say their vows.

Yes, indeed, they shut down a whole city block.  The view was to die for, the reason was so romantic, and come rain or shine, that’s where the vows were to be had!

The editor approached me and asked if they could get five images from the ceremony to choose from and feature, and the one they chose was one of my favorites.  It’s right after Justin stomps the glass, the crowd yells Mazel tov and he plants a big kiss on Jenna.  My 2nd shooter for the day, friend and PPA certified photographer Jeanne dePolo, was on the ladder for that shot while I was down in the aisle for the “traditional” view – and hers was the one they chose!

Why do I have a 2nd photographer?  For exactly that reason! My 2nd photographer IS my second pair of eyes and gives me the necessary “two places at once” that my style of wedding photography demands.  I’m a documentarian, a storyteller, and an artist all at once – and a little bit anal wanting to capture every-single-moment.  My 2nd photographers are or have been lead photographers for weddings for at least three seasons and I trust them enough to put my name and reputation on every shot they take.  My 2nd photographer is there in case anything happens to me (accident, illness) so that I know my bride and groom are covered no matter what.  My 2nd photographer is VITAL.

And in this case, my 2nd photographer got her shot in the Sunday Chronicle.  Hee!

More from that wedding when we’re done!
