Their love is translated to some face-licking, arm-wrestling, and some seriously funny facial dynamics. They constantly are fun to hang out with! Happy 2nd Anniversary guys!

Top Ten Wedding Photographers of 2009 04/28/2009 | In Announcements, by Apertura

When we found out a few weeks ago that we are going to make the list for this year’s American Photo magazine Top Ten Wedding Photographers of 2009, we thought it was a hoax. Well, our friend and uber-photogapher Ben Chrisman called us this afternoon and told us that the online article just came out and sure enough, Apertura is on it! It feels kinda surreal and we still couldn’t believe it.

Thanks to the kind people who nominated us, thanks to the editor of American Photo magazine who picked us, but most importantly, thank you to all of our wonderful clients for letting us be witnesses to your happiest days. Without you, we’re nothing. Check out the full article HERE!

Err… Photographically of course, :) I will be in San Francisco the 2nd weekend of May and am open (on May 10th) to any kind of E-sessions / Portrait sessions. I am looking for more of the Urbanscape type of shots. Let me know (erwin@aperturaphoto.com) if you are interested! UPDATE: Many people have been asking this: The commissioning fee is free of cost! I’m looking to shoot 2-3 couples or individuals only. Erwin
