Last night was certainly a night to remember.  At 1:45pm, I joined a small group of friends at Pier 33 to embark on an overnight adventure on Alcatraz Island.  I had never been on the island before and had no real idea what to expect.  What I did know was that I’d be sleeping in […]

I really enjoy photographing everything from babies to weddings.  I love to be the family photographer my clients think of when they want photographs of maternity, baby, birthdays, graduations, engagements, weddings and more babies. One of my clients recently brought a beautiful little boy into the world and asked me to create their newborn photographs.  […]

I was recently fortunate enough to spend the day in the Napa Valley photographing a very fun couple.  Alie and Dave are getting married next June and wanted to do their engagement session in a special place that they both really love.  Napa was their easy choice. They are so cute together and are an […]

Beats for Boobs™ […]

When Duncan Reyes Events by Design asked me to cover the Aqua Latino party he was planning for Silicon Valley NACE aboard the luxurious California Hornblower, I jumped on immediately.  I knew it would be a night to remember!  Duncan does it right. The yacht was fully decked out and appointed with a dining room […]

Burning Man is many things to many people.  Whether you come to dance, meditate, party, perform, create or just to observe – you don’t leave unchanged. The Temple this year was larger and more impressive and moving than in any other year I’ve visited it.  The images above are a small sample of my experience […]

Today in San Jose, Jim Vetter Photography (that’s me) exhibited at the Bridal Extravaganza bridal fair.  It was a small exhibition but there were some fantastic brides (and a few grooms2b) who visited my booth. This blog post is a big THANK YOU to my booth staff and to the AWESOME BRIDES who visited me at the […]
