this weekend, we had the pleasure of photographing lisa and paul at bay street in emeryville. in a quieter area of this busy shopoholic's haven, we were able to take advantage of the rock and glass sculptures that pays tribute to the shellmound and the native americans who inhabited the area.

congratulations on your engagement, lisa & paul! we can't wait 'til your wedding in october!!!

oh my goodness Ed, This is crazy but again (like the handprint in sand with ring in it) , I was totally gonna do that umbrella silouhette thing! (Though actually I got that idea from a banana republic ad for the umbrella thing...) OoOo Great minds think alike. hehehehehe

The umbrella silouhette thing is nice!!!

Love the silouhette shot Ed...
I also like the Red hot umbrella..

Great work Ed. Love your use of wide angle & that first shot is off the hook!

thanks guys!!!

you all should meet monica, my wife. she's a integral part of our team. she scouts the closest next location while i'm shooting so when we finish a set, we're off to a new one with a solid direction. her creativity should take all the credit. i'm only there to press the shutter. ; )

i really like the silhouette one - very cool color and composition.

The silhouette photo and the 5th one in front of the circular window. Both are spectacular photos. Love the colors in the 5th one!

They are all great(ofcourse)...but the car shots are my favorite...very posh!

those umbrella shots are ROCKIN! you are a creative genious!

That first shot is simply amazing Ed!

#1 is amazing!!! I love it. #3 is interesting because it's a little different but you can tell it's "them" and probably even more so to people who know them (and the Chinese style shoes accent it). I like 6 because I'm into cars
