Found this great Lightroom method to darken or fix a sky that has been “blown out” using the Graduated Filter tool. The video shown here on the Art of the Image blog shows how perform the sky recovery in less than 30 seconds.
Cassie and Ben started their engagement session on the walkway to the new Carquinez suspension Bridge that spans the Carquinez Strait. We then headed to the base of the bridge on the Crockett side of the straits. Finally we crossed the bridge and ended the engagement shoot at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo.

Many thanks to the wedding coordinator Melissa from the Chardonnay Golf Club for making things run so smooth, and to Sal the DJ from Souza Sounds for keeping things jumping.
The results of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) 4th Quarter contest were recently announced and one of my cake cutting images placed fourth.
There is a certain element of danger using a sword to cut the cake. Don't try this at home.
Cassie and her bridemaids got together for a Napa Valley bachelorette weekend a couple of weeks ago that included wine tasting as one of Saturday’s events. After the Limo picked them them up, the first stop was the Silver Oak Cellars.
