One of the best things about being a photographer is the opportunity to truly get to know people and see them come to life while photographing them in locations that are meaningful to them. After Sally and Hattie’s Engagement Session in their neighborhood and home (with their kitty), I was even more excited about their […]
Recipe for an awesome engagement session: super in love couple, san francisco neighborhood walk, pretty light, dark corners, bougainvillea, a meaningful embrace, rooftop kisses, and kitty snuggles. Sally and Hattie’s engagement session was all of this and more. I love that we kept it easy-peasy and decided to just walk around their neighborhood and get […]
Surprisingly enough, I haven’t photographed anyone at Baker’s Beach in San Francisco just yet. You’re shocked, I know. It’s a beautiful beach with great views of that infamous bridge, but that means it’s also very crowded. David and David (aka “The Davids”), however, wanted their engagement session to be on a beach with great views […]
Oli and Janette’s wedding was a two-day affair that began with a sweet San Francisco City Hall wedding on a Friday, and continued with an outdoor reception at Ad Hoc + Addendum in wine country on a Saturday. Friends and family flew in from international locations to celebrate and toast the newlyweds with Dynamo Donuts because […]
Even though I left San Francisco hours in advance, in preparation to sit in Highway 17 traffic on my way to Sand Rock Farm in Santa Cruz, I still barely made it on time for Lewis and Lauren’s wedding. Traffic is just one of those things that gets the best of me, so I was […]
I’m still in awe every time someone finds me on the interwebs (vs. a friend of a friend referral, etc.) because let’s be real… I’m not the best at marketing myself and I’m still not quite sure I know what SEO is, but wow. The universe (er, interwebs) can certainly deliver. Like with these two, […]
When I first met Lewis and Lauren, they had just finished a Soul Cycle class and were up for meeting me for coffee just seconds after finishing their workout (#troopers). They were tired, and yet excited to talk to me about all things wedding. But it wasn’t until their engagement shoot in Golden Gate Park […]
Karla and Adriana contacted me about shooting their wedding in Summer 2016. As queer Latinx photographers themselves, I was beyond honored to learn how much they appreciated my work and wanted me to shoot their day. We got together for coffee at one of my favorite coffee locations (Sightglass), and I had the best time […]
After shooting their engagement photos in the Castro rain months before their wedding, David and Michael were comfortable being in front of the camera and used to kissing on demand whenever I asked (which I loved getting them to do). But with the immense happiness they felt on their wedding day, David and Michael didn’t need any prompting. The love they felt for […]
After an awesome engagement session in their own SF neighborhood of Glen Park, I was excited to document Nick and Nancy’s wedding day at the Sequoia Retreat Center in Santa Cruz. Nick and Nancy had planned a long wedding weekend event that was intentional about centering their “community’s” (family and friends) artistic talents, and it […]
