Unveiling of Casa Bella Blanca

The Unveiling of Casa Bella Blanca was produced by Entire Productions & Barbara Llewellyn Catering & Event Planning with Blueprint Studios behind the amazing design concept! Guests entered into the beautiful new event space at 1045 Divisadero, enjoying amazing delicacies by Barbara Llewellyn Catering, all while dancing the night away to contagious rhythmic Latin beats, by DJ Imani, Cuban Band Fito Reinoso, DJ Juan Data, and Flamenco Guitarist Jean Paul Buongiorno. Photographer Craig Merrill of course captured the life and joy of the party!

Needless to say it was a great night, full of great entertainment, great food and drinks, and most importantly great people!



A little about Craig Merrill:

As you can see, my style is fun and relaxed with an eye for something different. It can be traditional and very untraditional. My photography experience runs almost 30 years, with everything from weddings, special events, families, children, and professional headshots.

As most my clients will soon be heading 'down the aisle', this is for you. It can be a daunting task putting together such an important and special day. Since we realize most people have not been down this road before, the exchange of ideas, thoughts and dialogue is extremely important. I share my ideas with the bride and groom and together we create pictures that express who you are, not just typical wedding faire. I believe this is what sets me apart. By taking the bride and groom away briefly and letting them be themselves to relax and open up, I find those captured natural moments are the shots that are cherished the most. We try to think 'outside the box' in many aspects of wedding photography but stay true to time honored traditions in others. We have an eye for detail and a skill for catching the unexpected. It is my job to capture the day as it unfolds, and to get those moments you may have missed and those that seem a blur.

We use professional and dependable equipment plus the latest technology to capture all the nuances of the day and if necessary, have another 'set of eyes' (assistant) on the day. We set a fair price and above all, have a great day with everybody involved.
