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 […]
From the moment we met at a Castro wine bar to discuss David and David’s (“The Davids”) wedding, I knew they had class and that their day would be hard to beat. So on the day of their wedding, when I drove up the private road to Contento Vineyard in Hopland, California and saw the […]
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 […]
It’s hard to put into words what this wedding and this couple means to me. By the end of Kate and Karyne’s San Francisco engagement session that ended with sushi and drinks (have you heard about my love affair with sushi?), we knew that working together would only be the start of a cherished friendship (yes, they […]
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 […]
I met Kate and Karyne for the first time over boba tea and crazy lookin’ waffles. Those first meetings with clients can sometimes feel like blind dates, but as we talked all about their Northern California elopement plans, there was an ease in our communication… a comfort that felt more like old friends than new ones. And by […]
The last few months of my 2015 seemed to move at lightning speed. On top of my day job and spending time with family, I photographed a few more weddings, talked to couples about 2016 weddings, and fulfilled a dream of mine by traveling to India on a photo field trip. I’m sure I could […]
Instead of getting married in the busy Bay Area, Gary and Michael opted for a location that felt more like a home than a wedding venue; a place off the beaten path; and the Wedgewood Sequoia Mansion in Placerville was a perfect host for their Fall nuptials, complete with all the bright-colored Fall leaves. Upon arriving at […]
In less than a month, Gary and Michael will be saying “I Do” to each other in front of their friends and family, and with these smiles, it’s sure to be an exciting affair. Over the summer, I met up with these two gentlemen for their engagement session, and while we had planned on one […]
