'Wedding Photography Unveiled' book release!


It was about 18 months ago that I got a call from Jackie Tobin, the deputy editor of Photo District News, about putting together a book featuring some of the best wedding photographers, and I was thrilled. Over several months, Jackie has called me for interviews on everything from marketing,
 advertising, booking, shooting, what's in my camera bag, albums, websites, getting published. Even though the conversation was on business, it always ended up drifting into other stuff, and we 
would be on the phone for hours at a a time talking about everything from our jobs to dating. I haven't formally met Jackie in person but I feel like she's now a good friend of mine and I'm so excited for her book, not just my feature. I am so proud to be part of this book, and many of my bay
 area colleagues also featured in the book such as Meg Smith and Suzy Clement were my early inspiration for becoming a wedding photographer and eventually following my dream to move out west three years ago. Wedding Photography Unveiled, Inspiration and Insight from 20 Top Photographers by Jacqueline Tobin is now on all major bookstores in US and Canada.
