Silvana Difranco » ||Wedding Photographer || San Francisco Bay Area

It’s now official! These two wonderful people tied the knot in sunny Mexico but now have to make the commitment official. I headed to San Francisco’s City Hall and met up with them and their dog Mara for the ceremony. We decided that it would be great to get some shots at The De Young as well. All went beautifully except for the atrociously cold wind. Niran was a trouper to say the least.

I’m thinking November is probably the BEST time to go to Mexico. The water is like a not too warm bath perfect and their is just the right amount of balm in the air. I couln’t get over the views and architecture of this beautiful house not to mention this gorgeous couple.

We decided on doing the session at the nearby elementary school. My all time favorite backdrop is located here. The colors on the mural are so camera friendly. Great session. Talk about sassy. Little Desa is one of the most personable little girls I have ever met. You should see her walk. Sassy!

I headed over to The Cliff House to meet up with Jaki and her boyfriend Alfonse for a photo shoot in the park. Wow, was my first impression. I’ve never seen such a beautiful contrast. It was easy working with them. I think I used up two 4 gig cards. I couldn’t help myself.

Children never seize to amaze me. Nicole was one of those babies that never complained and always smiled (even when her sweater dress itched her baby skin).

I don’t know how to begin really. This little bundle of energy and personality needs to be on TV. Her Mom Mechele had three different looks for Livia, which worked out great.  It was such a blast working with this amazingly laid back couple and their spunky Livia.

Swings, Trikes, whale watching at Limantour Beach. All in a days work.

For the second time around…..she’s glowing.

Nish f21, a photography group, presents 10 photographers’ visual translation of time. Each photographer in this exhibition took on the task of exploring how they would present their unique view of Time. Is it capturing a moment? Showing its passage? Linking of past and present? We all have our own perspective.

Please stop by during the weekend of Oct. 18th and 19th,  A Muse Gallery between 11-6pm. The artists reception is Saturday Oct. 18th from 3-6pm.

My final prints for the show.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. The day could have not been more beautiful, the couple more genuine, the setting more picturesque. Jennifer and Bryan looked so classic and elegant and The Four Seasons Biltmore ~ Santa Barbara….simply lavish.
