Gene Higa is a member of the Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area, Wedding & Portrait Photographers International. With his unique artistic style, he creates extraordinary perspectives to document wedding celebrations. He avoids unnatural posing, instead people are portrayed in ways that truly reflect their personalities. The wedding party is relaxed, spontaneous, and obviously enjoying themselves. Gene is able to work well with his subjects -- his professionalism, yet engaging light-hearted attitude and intelligence work to establish a trust, one that evolves into a relaxed relationship. Not only does he capture the elegance and glamour of your special day, his instincts will result in photographs that document those moments filled with a whole range of emotions as they unfold -- those moments that become shared stories that are never ending. Clients appreciate his artistic compositions, professionalism, responsiveness to their special requests and his ability to adapt to any given situation. Combining traditional photographic techniques and state-of-the-art technology, his enthusiasm and expertise keeps his work always on the cutting edge. Gene's images have been published in the ultimate wedding planner, Today's Bride, Grace Ormonde, profiled in the December 2004 issue of WPPI newsletter, and can be found in the pages of Martha Stewart Weddigs as the Northern California's Premier wedding photographer. His unique perspective has taken him beyond his Bay Area base, making him one of the most sought after wedding photojournalists today.
