Orbie Pullen Photography

The Blog of Bay Area Photographer Orbie Pullen

Welcome to my Online Journal! My name is Orbie Pullen and I'm a photographer from Santa Cruz, California. As a photographer I mostly do weddings but I do dip into other aspects of photography. I have created this blog to let people know what’s going on in my life and just to share things that I think are interesting. I also created this blog because I wanted to let my clients see sneak peeks of their photographs before they get them. I usually post pics of a wedding soon after so check back often. I also created this blog to show potential clients a little bit of who I am as a person and some samples of my work. So book mark this site now and e-mail a link of this blog to everyone you know. Please check back frequently because I plan to update this blog a couple times a week. If you have any questions feel free to E-mail me.

This was a special session because Jenna is a past intern of mine and an amazing photographer in her own right.

Pacific Grove Engagement Session with Bryan and Miriam.

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of photographing Miriam and Bryan's Engagement Session around Pacific Grove, Ca. Probably one of the most windy and stormy days that I have ever done a Engagement Session on. We made the best of it and got some amazing photographs around the coast line in Pacific Grove. Here are some of the images from the day.

St Ignatius Church and Fairmont Hotel Wedding in San Francisco, Ca. with Allison and James.

 Allison and James had their ceremony at the beautiful St Ignatius Church and Reception at the Crown Room inside the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, Ca. Both locations were amazing! The Crown Room in the Farimont has probably the best views of San Francisco. Lucky for us the day of the wedding was the clearest day I have ever seen in city. The sky was so clear you could see all the way to San Jose from the view inside the Crown Room. I felt lucky to be doing a wedding in there that day because the views were so amazing on that particular day!

 Allison's Dress and flowers by the amazing Nancy Liu Chin.
