Valentini, the East Bay Charity Ball, features photos by Laurie Gordon and Peter Marcus

"If you have found your way to my website, you can see two facets of my work: event production and wedding photography. I have devoted my time to both fields, and have found that they are uniquely complementary to each other. My experience as a photographer of weddings and parties has provided me with inspiration for the events that I plan and produce. At the same time, my production background has been so valuable in photographing events and weddings. Through them, I have developed an understanding of an entire event, all of its components and the unique rhythm, flow and timing that such a special day demands."
