Halbright Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my Blog!

    My name is Rudi Halbright and I'm a wedding, event and portrait photographer located in the San Francisco Bay Area and working with clients in the bay area and I occasionally photograph destination weddings around the United States and internationally.

    PEOPLE are my favorite subject. Authentic emotions, profound moments.  I love to photograph people being themselves in a real, beautiiful and genuine way.

    As you look through this blog you'll see a sampling of the clients I've worked with and get a better sense of who I am and what I can offer you. Take some time to look through my blog and if you feel like we might be a good fit, get in touch with me either through the ncontact form or by calling me directly. I look forward to the possibility of partnering you to create images that you will treasure for your lifetime!

It was a pleasure documenting Bradley’s Bar Mitzvah last month. He did a great job and his parents have every reason to be proud! Mazal Tov to him and his family. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the event:

Jewish Milestones Chemo Siddur

I was honored to have Jewish Milestones hire me to document their Chemo Siddur project. They are creating custom siddurs (prayer books) for people undergoing chemotherapy. These beautiful handmade books can be customized to fit the individual and allow space for friends and family to add content later.
