Steve (Shi-di-fu) and Katie in Palo Alto

This is Steve Settle. One of my really good friends from Cal Poly, and his super fun and super cute fiance Katie. Steve and i were travellin buddies back in school. We went to Vail, Tahoe, and lived in China together for 2 months. (shi-di-fu is his Chinese name) I am SOOO happy for him when he found Katie, and now I am ecstatic that he is getting married next month. He is one of the nicest, funnest guys i have ever met. That day we met in the city and grabbed lunch, and had Irish Coffees and Guiness' at my favorite bar in San Francisco, Buena Vista.
We started taking photos over by Stanford in the rolling hills, and then finished up at down-town Palo Alto. It was a killer time, (partly cause of the Patron we had to loosen up for the photographs!)
Down town Palo Alto is one of my favorite places in California, and the buildings, colors and textures were awesome. It was my first time shooting there, but being a regular patron to the restaurants and pubs there made a really fun time!
Congrats you too! can't wait for the wedding. Thanks for the tequila Steve!

I love this shot. Kudos katie on the green scarf. You all know how much of a fan i am of splashes of color.
