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 there photographs before they get them. I usually post pics of a wedding the day after so check back to see those sneak peeks of what I do. 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.
