More Fun With Ella!

2008-07-16T22:41:00.001-07:00

This is my fav from the day. I love the light!

I had some fun with Ella & Rachel today. I tested out my new actions on these photos - I love them - I like the unique colors I think they work really well with baby shots!

Erica in ACTION!

2008-07-15T10:22:00.000-07:00

Here I am on the latest trash the dress shoot. Dierdre and Zeev were not too keen on getting all the way in the water, but since it was a deserted beach it looked very very cool from every angle. Hehe it looks like I am not wearing pants - but they are tan pants!

Those last photos were the results! Thanks again guys for such an amazing shoot!

Puneet & Sonia's Reception

2008-07-14T16:47:00.000-07:00

I loved all of these colors, they were amazing.

Baby Ella

2008-07-14T01:24:00.001-07:00

This is a two part post! We had a great time today. She was very happy to be out at the park - look at that smile. We went around my neighborhood, this time we took great photos!

This was taken in front of Grace Cathedral.

This is my favorite shot of the day of Ella and MOM!

I took a few hours off today and spent time with old friends. Rachel is visiting from out of town - this is the first time I met her baby Ella! She is a doll - we waited to long to take out the camera. She sat through brunch first. So.. she was tired and not in the mood to take photos.

She is pooped - but so sweet.

Meet Rachel & Whitney!

I love the sweetness in this face!

Funny faces!

Get away Erica!

Jone & Stanely are MARRIED!

2008-07-13T17:32:00.000-07:00

I fell in love with this mural - can you tell :)

They had amazing food - they are FOODIES!

We snuck away for a a few photos!

A big thank you to Lindsey for helping me out!

This was an amazing wedding. I loved so many things about it. To start off the view was incredible. You could see the whole skyline during the ceremony. Very very cool! She was glowing the whole time - STUNNING bride. Jone did her research - she did not need any directing - she would change her pose and just work it for the camera! I had some help from her mother - she had some great ideas! Much more to come! This was the first wedding that I shot with the 24 1.4 and I'm glad I got it - I LOVE it! Please leave me comments telling me which photos are your favorites.

Andrea & Scott - Introducing the 24 1.4

2008-07-12T01:06:00.000-07:00

They are having their reception PARTY at the Red Devil Lounge on Nov 1st.

I Love the sweetness in this one.

I think I like this one best. I took it with my new lens! The 24 1.4
Which one works for you?

This is my signature and I never get sick of it.

I love the sweetness of this couple. We had a great time - lots of laughs.

I love new lenses ( what photographer doesn't? ) - I treated myself to the creamy wide 24 1.4 today. I love it. It is wide super sharp and has great DOF!!

Brooke & Matt

2008-07-08T14:31:00.000-07:00

Fun with the flower girl!

I'm starting to love this shot!

We had a bit of time before the limo came so we had fun with the props around us.

This was a very unique wedding on a yacht! It was a fun intimate ceremony which ended with a DIP - my favorite. This couple is so sweet. I love how done up Brooke was - I asked her if she had fake eye lashes and she said.... DOUBLE LAYER!

Jessica & Tim are MARRIED!

2008-07-07T13:20:00.000-07:00

This was a wonderful Jewish wedding. I always feel right at home at these weddings because they were the kind of wedding I grew up with. It started off at the hotel - then there was the revealing. Then the kutuba signing which was so sweet and intimate. The ceremony was outdoors and the Huppa was something to talk about! My favorite part of the Jewish weddings is right after the bride and groom are announced - they invite everyone to come to the center of the dance floor and there is wondering dancing, hands are up in the air and THEN the bride and groom are thrown up in chairs! It is called the HORA!

Heather & Scott's Wedding in Carmel

2008-07-06T00:44:00.000-07:00

This is from the day before - we had a great time.

Heather is such a stunning bride. We took this shot as it started to get a little darker.

The dress shot.

The girls ( I like to take lots of bridal photos - females love choices. )

There he is! It's not ALL about her - but most :)!

On Friday morning Michelle, Liina and I drove up to Carmel. We stayed at the house with the bridal party at Holly Farms. It was so nice. It looked like we were in Mexico. It felt like it too. There is much more to come from this wedding. Tomorrow is Jessica & Tim's wedding in Palo Alto - stay tuned.

Mark & Gina are MARRIED!

2008-07-04T09:07:00.000-07:00

When Gina reminded me when her venue was a few weeks ago I was VERY exited. It was at the Ralston machine. I LOVE this place. I love everything about it. We took photos in a few different rooms and in front of the bamboo. I think it is so romantic for a wedding. I love the sweetness between Gina and Mark. Isn't she a knockout! There is more to come from this wedding. I am off to Carmel for Heather & Scotts wedding. I have been looking forward to this one! Happy July 4th everybody!

Comments welcome!

Question: Do you like the very wide angle - or the soft depth of field?

Raychel & Joel - Feedback wanted!

2008-07-02T22:01:00.000-07:00

Hey blog readers - I want some feedback! Do you like this one? Or the one below?

The first shot was a goofy one!! With this couple there were no bad angles!!

He is a foot taller than her. She makes him seem so tall!

I can tell this is going to be one fun wedding.

I love this one.

I LOVE this couple. They are FUN! The evening flew by. We started off at AT&T park - they are Giant fans! They were a bit nervous at first - but then they loosened up. Then we were off to union square - where he purposed. After that they wanted something more scenic. I wanted to get them away from the crowds - so we went to one of my secret places! I found out that they have been together since they were 17! They have big families and are very close to them. I had a great time with you guys - see you soon.

Please leave comments - which are you fav photos - do you like the saturated ones? Which one works for you the most?

Thanks so much!

Erica

2008-06-30T22:02:00.000-07:00

This photo was taken by the talented Cate Corbitt: http://www.catecorbitt.com - check her out!

I love to read photographers blogs. My two favorite wedding photographers in the whole wide world are Jessica Claire and Lauren Clark. Through those two I have found out about tons of amazing wedding photographers. Becker is definitely a favorite of mine. I love how he connects with his clients and other photographer - not to mention his great work.

We met the last bay area wedding photography meet up - please email me if you are interested in joining us for our next meeting. Becker won't be there but we have a nice collection of great photographers in the area.

Julie & Sam

2008-06-30T20:48:00.000-07:00

I felt the heat with this one!

The money dance!

Father daughter dance.

I LOVE her hair. She is stunning and was glowing the whole day.

I always try to get all of the children at the wedding. This girl is too adorable!

It's electric - a boogie woogie!!!

This was a sweet wedding. It was on an air force base! It was full of good people - great dancing. I did the electric slide and cool entertainment. Thank you Lindsey for helping me out on this wedding. She has been working with me a lot in the past year and now she is ready to start doing sessions! Check her out: http://lindseycahill.blogspot.com

Steven & Cristal

2008-06-30T16:13:00.000-07:00

This wedding was awesome! I got there a little bit early and Cristal was waiting for her makeup artist. I thought she already was done up because she looked flawless. The ceremony was emotional and sweet. We had fun during the portrait session - we started off with the classic stuff then Cristal told me she wanted to have some fun! This was a fun group - the kids were the perfect age because they listened and they were CUTE. A big thanks to Liina for helping me out for the past few weddings!

Stacey & Lyal

2008-06-27T19:16:00.000-07:00

This was a fun day. It was a very short ceremony in the Presideo. Then we were off to a few of my favorite places. There was a small party with us. They were fun - esp their son who is 16! I LOVE her dress - it is so simple and sexy!

Christina & Bob

2008-06-27T11:25:00.000-07:00

I had a lot of fun with this building. This couple is so much fun...... I love it when brides LOVE their dress and want to have fun with it!

Remember them from the engagement session? I love how she wore pink and he was in blue.

Father & Daughter dance!

They had some great dance moves!

This was funny!! The whole room cracked up for about seven minutes!

I really liked how their house was painted.

Hello!!!

This was such a fun wedding! Thank you guys. Can't wait to see you guys for our trash the dress session.

Happy Graduation Greg

2008-06-25T15:53:00.000-07:00

Can you spot me?? I kind of look the same.

I designed this for his bar mitzvah four years ago.

This is the kitchen back in New York. We are Yankee fans!! I hope Greg does not get mad about having these up online!!!

"What are you doing!!!"

My fav from the day.

This is him current.

I LOVE my brother - we are super close. It is graduation today from high school! He is going to Delaware next year. I can't wait to see what the future holds for him. He is such a happy - kind young man. I am so proud of the person he is. I can not believe he is going off to college - I remember when he used to follow me around the house. I took most of these photos a LONG time ago!! He was always such a great model.. The collage is actually a poster that I made for his Bar Mitzvah four year ago!

Comments!!!!!

2008-06-25T15:42:00.001-07:00

This was taken by the talented Cate Corbitt. I love her approach to weddings - very intimate and sensitive. She is ALWAYS smiling when she is behind the camera.

www.catecorbitt.com

Hello out there in blog world! I have been blogging like promised almost everyday. WELL... I would love to hear from you!

That is a photo of my and my assistant Liina at the last wedding. It was fun. I LOVE photo booths at weddings. I think they are a great idea!

I updated my website a bit this week. I added a page that talks about me and what I believe in and what I do at the weddings and during the sessions. It also shows off a little of my graphic design background. It was fun dabbling into that again.

A simpsons themed wedding - how fun!!

Pinar and Greg are MARRIED!!!!!

2008-06-21T10:23:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Sometimes the brides look like movie stars - Pinar sure did!! I just wanted to show you a sneak from yesterdays wedding - it was such a sweet wedding. Everything was hand made and adorable. I have been almost shooting weddings for a year now - crazy things happen and you see crazy stuff! WELL........... I was in the front of the ceremony kneeling while the bride was walking down the aisle... I had sandals on - it was 100 degrees! ALL OF A SUDDEN I look down at my foot and there is a bee stinging my foot!!! I picked the bee off of my foot and continued clicking away - I got that first shot as the bee was stinging me!! Bee stings happen all the time - but someones wedding only happens once :) I was fine - I think the bee might not have made it...

:)

Trash The Dress!!! Which is your favorite photo?

2008-06-20T00:40:00.000-07:00

I LOVE to trash the dress. It is my favorite kind of shoot. Thank you SO MUCH for doing everything I wanted. I had a BLAST!!! I am always looking for new places and ideas - feel free to share any ideas you might have for new ways to trash the dress. There are WAY more photos to come - those are a few sneaks that I had to share. Let me know your favorite so far.

This dress stayed safe (after a visit to the cleaners!)

Kids At The Weddings

2008-06-15T17:08:00.000-07:00

I LOVE kids! I used to be a nanny when I was in school - fun times. I watched a little 2 year old red head named Harrison from Australia. I never miss the kids at the weddings! I love their little faces!

What A Wedding!!!!!!

2008-06-15T13:37:00.001-07:00

I am really happy that the sun cooperated at this wedding - the people were glowing.. so it worked.... I loved the flowers.

Here is an example of a before and after.. most of them are not this extreme - but those little ones are just so hard to get to stand still!! :)

This was an AMAZING wedding. It was at the Robertson House in the North Bay - about 1.5 hours from San Francisco. I have been looking forward to it for months now because I have never seen such beauty... I know I have said that before - but look at these places!!!

I fell in love with Mary-Ann and Danielle during the engagement session. They are the sweetest, down to earth JUST AMAZING women. They did not need any direction during the portrait session - I told them to just be with each other and everything fell into place. It was an outdoor wedding with GREAT speeches - they were funny and full of tears. The music was great and the food was delish! All in all - the perfect wedding. Congratulations to all of the same sex couples waahoooooooooo - they are getting their licence in two days!!

I will see you soon.

I have a very busy week coming up - shooting everyday - stay tuned for some cool pics!!

Prom For Greg Berger!

2008-06-10T19:48:00.000-07:00

I must be so embarrassing. All of the kids jumped into the limo and the door in front was open. So, I jumped in. I was looking around and couldn't see him - he was trying to avoid eye contact.... He pretended like he did not know me. But, then I told them to get together. I think in the end he will love that I am a crazy photographer!!

Best friend - maybe in ten years best man!!!!

This must have been fun!!

I hopped into the limo and Jeremy said to me: Take my picture!!!!!!! He has been best friends with Greg for over ten years. I love him!! He is 6'3!!!!!!!!!

I remember when she was 5!!

That's my mom! She was super happy to be there.

My brother Greg is seven years younger than me. Tonight was his PROM! I was lucky to be home for the week in New York. The whole family went with all of the seniors to capture the event! I'm so happy I got to see them all because I will be in SF for graduation.

What a weekend!

2008-06-08T22:30:00.000-07:00

Wedding season is in FULL BOOM. The two weddings I had this weekend contrasted each other. They were both visually amazing and I had a blast shooting these weddings. Those are a few sneak peaks - stay tuned for more soon. I'm in New York visiting the family until Friday - then back to San Francisco. It is 95 degrees here - I'm going swimming tomorrow!

Denise & David

2008-06-05T01:37:00.000-07:00

This is the 2nd year I have shot the Ms Dusk Buster Race. My mom has Multiple Sclerosis , she was dignosed 5 or more years ago. To find out more: http://www.duskbuster.org. I had a great time!

Wedding in Gilroy

2008-06-01T11:26:00.001-07:00

The veil fell off after this!!!!

I told them to kick back and relax and pretend like the honeymoon has started!!

I found out about this wedding from one of the groomsmen. He called me last October and told me that I had to shoot his best friends wedding. I said ok! We had a great engagement session at stern grove and lake merced. The thing that I remember most about the session in how sweet he was to Jenya. You could tell that they had something amazing. When I complimented him on it he said: I'm just so glad that I found her!! She looked like a model. Those are a few sneak peeks from the portrait session from the day. They were up for anything. Even a short session at 7:20 when the light was stellar!

MY BIGGEST FAN - Jone!

2008-06-01T11:19:00.000-07:00

Meet Jone and Stanley. Jone has seen every picture I have ever taken. She is my biggest fan!! Super sweet - beautiful - SO into taking photographs. She planned out a great session. The boat - the umbrella, outfit - hat - all her idea!! Thanks for the great session and the WONDERFUL dinner!

Congratulations Liina!!

2008-05-27T14:39:00.000-07:00

I am lucky to have very talented friends! This is Liina - she is my old roommate. She just graduated from The Academy Of Art University last week with a fashion degree! She was one of the few chosen to be in the fashion show a few weeks ago. She was also one of the VERY few to be chosen to have one of her pieces on display at Saks 5th Avenue! Her peice is in the middle. She made her whole colection out of veneer! I am so proud of her.

Gina & Mark

2008-05-27T11:11:00.000-07:00

Meet Gina and Mark. They were so comfortable together which really showed in their photographs. They were a big nervous before we started. I told them really you guys just have to be with each other and the session will turn out great! They were up for anything and trusted me with locations. We started the session a three hours before sunset. We had the best light and loads of time! Thanks guys - I'll see you July 3rd.

Jon & Kelly Are Married!

2008-05-26T10:00:00.000-07:00

This was such a BEAUTIFUL wedding. It was at the Oakmont Golf Club, since it would be off dangerous to take photos there ( because we could of gotten HIT! ) We went to the Ledson Winery for a few shots. I have never seen anything like this! It was a real castle which fit perfectly because all brides are a princess!

Much more to come from the beautiful, fun wedding!

Heather & Scott

2008-05-21T18:50:00.001-07:00

Happy Graduation!

2008-05-19T22:27:00.000-07:00

Word of mouth is picking up!!! These clients found me through their friend, ( a baby session ) who found me through a wedding client! How cool!! He was so great - his mom wanted to have portraits of him in his cap and gown, it didn't matter that it was two years later. More to come - but here are my favorite two. Which one of the three do you like best? I will give all three to the family. :)

Happy Birthday Dad

2008-05-18T00:28:00.000-07:00

My mom called this trash the wife.. My mom and dad are so cute together!! They have been together since they were 19..... This photo was taken on our last vacation to Florida. He is a great father and husband!

Meet Richard Berger. He is my biggest fan. Born and raised in New York - the Bronx to be exact. He is amazing and my best friend. I hope you had a great day - I will see you in June!

Bob & Christina

2008-05-18T00:18:00.000-07:00

Here is a few sneaks from todays wedding. I had a blast - you two are so sweet! More to come tomorrow - I LOVED this building!!!! The group almost ran me over! I don't think I've ever laughed so much at a wedding - I'm so lucky to call this my job. We had a super long portrait session - which I always enjoy. Here are the ones that I could not wait to look at!! A lot of these were taken with the fisheye! More to come later on.

California

2008-05-17T10:44:00.001-07:00

I love shooting here - it is just stunning. I love how you can always see mountains. I live in San Francisco and I can get to the water in 15 minutes! This was taken in Sausalito. Meet Jamie and Eric. They are so fun! Thanks for a great afternoon.

Trash The Dress!!!

2008-05-14T11:20:00.001-07:00

Let me start off with saying... I had the best photo shoot EVER. I love this couple. I did their engagement session, wedding and now we TRASHED this dress. It is savable and she is going to donate it. Jodi and Brian are adventurous, cute and FUN. We went to an amazing location ( it is my secret - but I will take you there if you want ) It was just amazing - reminds of of Las Vegas. Then we went in two bodies of water... trucked through the lake.... They are moving to Virgina, I will have to meet up when I am back east to photograph their children. Good luck guys - thank you for letting me be part of your lives.

Cakes - All Shapes And Sizes

2008-05-12T17:30:00.000-07:00

Look at that face!!!!

He's still a stud.

I love to dip...... This is my favorite cake so far.

Cute cupcakes.... This couple made the little guys up top!! I love how the little husband and wife are red headlines just like Robert and Chessie!

I love the part of the wedding when they cut the cake... I love it when they shove it into each others faces. I love how the whole room goes crazy!

Some changes around here.

2008-05-12T17:28:00.000-07:00

That's me on the right and my sister Jenna. We are cute huh?

Park Slope in Brooklyn had the most amazing brownstones!

I had decided to give my mom a phone call yesterday. I blogged about her today. She will receive and special package from San Francisco on Wednesday. I have to come up with something great for tomorrow!!

Meet Michele Berger ( one L! ) Born in Brooklyn. The BEST mother around.. not mention BEAUTIFUL!! I always ask my parents about their wedding - she must have been the most stunning bride.

I love you Mom - I am looking forward to celebrating all of the holidays when I come home on June 8th!

All about Erica Berger.

2008-05-11T16:09:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! Thank you for coming to my blog. I have decided that I need to put more of ME in my blog. This is the fab five. The BERGER's! Meet (from left to right) Jenna, Richard, Michele, Greg, and ME - Erica Berger. I finally got a great shot of my family all together. We took this when we went to Florida this year. SO FUN!

That is me on the right. Jenna is on the left - a "wicked" cool chick from Boston. She came out to San Fran a few weeks ago. I miss my east coast family and friends. I do not miss the snow! I love shooting in California.

What should you know about me?

I am living out my dream right now. I LOVE my job, it is wonderful.

I live on Nob Hill in San Francisco in a very cool red building. I love Apple - I have had a Mac since 1989. I am a geek! I'm an American Idol fan. I love flickr.

http://www.flickr.com/ericaberger - I put new stuff up everyday.

It comes as a surprise to most people who ask me - but I have only been shooting weddings since last July. 7/7/07 - believe it or not! I want to say thank you to all of those clients who took a chance on a young, fresh photographer. I have had the best year of my life. I am looking forward to this wedding season. I am keeping myself SUPER busy. I shoot at least three times a week and I would have it no other way!

Viviane and Spencer

2008-05-11T16:02:00.000-07:00

I met with Vivianne a while ago.... it feels like YEARS ago. ( So much has happened in the past year with my business - I am so blessed!) We sat down and she told me all about her wedding. She put a lot of time and thought into it.... extra thought. She had ideas for poses, locations for the engagement session. Well, she did it. She planned a PICTURE PERFECT wedding and I am so proud of her. Viviane and Spencer are so sweet and they had a great time. I did too! As soon as I arrived at the venue (http://www.closlachance.com) I knew I was in California... You can't find this kind of beauty in NY ( where I was born and raised)

That pooch is too much!

Jamie is going to be a stunning bride!

Her face says it all.

I had a great session with Jamie and Joe. They are ADORABLE and so in love. He just came home two weeks ago from Iraq - WELCOME HOME Joe!! I'm so happy you are home for good. I'm sure Jamie is too!! These two sure missed each other. It showed!! We started off in Sausalito, ran over to Chrissy Feilds for the beach shots and then up to Marin Headlines area - great light! We started at 5pm. She is having 14 bridesmaids!! Stay tuned!!

Trash The Dress - Nevada!

2008-04-12T06:54:00.000-07:00

This was the most fun I have EVER had on a session. The bride and groom lived in Nevada and they were both beautiful, warm, FUN people. They were up for ANYTHING. We traveled around. First we went to the desert - the Valley of Fire. We went down the road not taken!! Then we were driving in the car and decided that we should go to a landfill! To a photographer.... it was BEAUTIFUL. Then we were off to Lake Las Vegas. After she pushed him in the water.. we all jumped in. I carefully made my way into the water. They said I was so excited that someone should of photographed me!! It was a perfect day!

Jamie & Bojon

I found out about this wedding from my assistant Dawn. She told me that her best friend who is the most beautiful woman is getting married. She also said that she could not be the photographer because she is a bridesmaid! She is the violet one. Jamie was brought up in San Diego and Bojan in New York. (Stay tuned for MORE trash the dress NY photos) They met in his church. It was small sweet, emotional wedding - amazing to experience - visually stimulating. Thank you to Cate and Michelle for tagging along - helping out and producing some great images for this sweet couple! Stay tuned for more photos!

One Of My FAVORITE Weddings From Last Year

This was one of my first weddings I ever shot. I met the couple the coffee shop, they told me how amazing and beautiful wedding their wedding was going to be. I had no clue - it was just insane. I love how she shined and how much he loved his puppy. Getting married on a cliff - HOW AMAZING!!!!!
