It was cold and windy and late November when I met up with Carly and Josué for their engagement shoot at Fort Point in San Francisco. It’s a really old military building, right at the base of the Golden Gate – and adjacent to the turbulent waters of the bay. This was a new location […]

It was great to meet and get to know Molly and Jay a little during their engagement session at Capitola Beach. They fully gave in to my direction, and were great listeners I might add! We explored the bluff above the beach, some railroad tracks, and spent most of the time on the beach and […]

The best thing about wedding album design is revisiting past weddings, and all the fun moments that happened that day. It’s not unusual for a year or more to go by between these two events, as was the case for Tony and Danielle’s gorgeous wedding at Kohl Mansion in Burlingame. Below are the layouts I […]

I’ve had quite a few couples recently that wanted to include their dogs in their engagement session – they are, more or less, the “first baby” – so I’m happy to oblige. However, in the context of photo shoots, most dogs are the equivalent of hyper toddlers. So my typical solution is to include the […]

This was my first wedding up at Forest House Lodge in Foresthill, CA – it’s about 45 minutes away from Auburn, straight up into the hills. The lodge itself is classy-rustic, with lots of delightful surprises inside. It has an amazing downstairs area for the bridal party to get ready at and hang out – […]

He’s on top of his game with his restaurant Sent Sovi in Saratoga. Now that they’ve got a Wine Bar, there’s even fewer reasons not to visit this excellent […]

This was my third family shoot with these guys in about as many years, and it’s so awesome to witness families grow. I feel like I hit all the high points in peoples’ lives – weddings, graduations, babies, family reunions – it’s such a blessing, the best job in the world. Seb and Rocio wanted […]

I love exploring new locations for any shoot, and today’s engagement session with Ellen and John was practically in my back yard at the UCSC Arboretum! Now, since it’s November, nothing was really in bloom, and even the succulents looked like hibernating, but we meandered the expansive trails and found all kinds of nooks to […]

I love the natural beauty and rustic nature of Roaring Camp Railroad in Felton, California. Jennifer and Stefan thew one hell of a party on their wedding day, and I took way more photos than normal. There was just such texture, such color, such romance! Oh, and a lot of beer hehe. Enjoy my favorite […]
