I had such a lovely time with Renee and Zak’s San Francisco City Hall engagement session that I simply couldn’t wait for their wedding day to arrive. They are such a cute couple, and I knew they’d have amazing details set up at the Olympic Club for the reception (I wasn’t disappointed). Keep scrolling down […]

I think weddings are more about the people than any of the details or other hoopla that can make wedding planning (and budgets) skyrocket and get out of hand. It’s nice when a couple it like, “You know what? We’re throwin’ a big party for our friends and family, and we’re gonna get married at […]

You know it’s a small wedding when you, the photographer, are an official witness on the paperwork. Yup, it was just me, Barry, Katrina and their friend to officiate. We met at Henry Cowell park in Felton knowing we wanted to hold the ceremony somewhere along the redwood loop trail. After walking around for 15 […]

My first shoot with Lily and Chris was back in March of 2012 for their engagement session in Uvas Canyon County Park which is south of San Jose and north of Morgan Hill. Lilly is a petite girl, but has a powerful presence; she vivacious and fun-loving, and I imagine as long as you stay […]

I really luck out and get to work with the coolest couples with my job. During their Quicksilver Almaden Park (San Jose) engagement session, I got a chance to see Stephanie and Kevin’s personalities show through. They are two peas in a pod, always smiling and joking around. They decided to get married at Felton […]

Fun, fun FUN couple alert! After bringing their dirtbikes to their Vasona Park engagement session, Rachel and Ryan were ready to tear it up for their wedding at Saratoga Springs in Saratoga, California.

Back in April I met up with Tiia and Justin for their engagement photos in Nisene Marks forest in Aptos. They were a little shy at first, so I’m really glad were were able to take the time to practice in a low-stress environment, where it was just the three of us without hundreds of […]

Erica and Justin are not only a incredibly good looking, they really click as a couple. As you know, this recipe usually results in beautiful photography, and their wedding day is no exception.

I love travelling to distant and exotic places for weddings. Tahoe isn’t SO distant, but it sure seems worlds away from Silicon Valley. I was happy to capture the big day for Rebecca and Ben for their Tahoe Events Center wedding on the north shore. The day couldn’t have started out more chill – heck, […]

After their rockin’ superhero engagement session at Nisene Marks forest, I was anxious to see what this enthusiastic and fun-filled couple had planned for their wedding way up in Sonoma.

Amy and Elliott had a sexy, romantic, fun Capitola Beach engagement shoot in October 2011. It was overcast that day, so it is only appropriate that their July 2012 wedding would have cloudy skies over Monterey as well. But the weather didn’t dampen the mood on this shining couple. They chose the recently remodeled Perry […]

I first met Marianne and Rick for their engagement session at Vasona in May 2011. The first thing they busted out were their matching streetbikes, so I knew this was going to be a fun, exciting couple. We all got along so well, I was bummed it would be more than a year until I […]

I first met Michelle and Aren at their Palace of Fine Arts engagement session in San Francisco of April 2012. We clicked immediately – I think it’s a common zany sense of humor, or just the fact that we’re all happy, go-with-the-flow people – but regardless I felt a connection to this couple and it […]

My first shoot with Kelly and Steve was during their Three Mile beach engagement session last year, and I knew these two were madly in love from that short time alone with them.

Megan and Stephen live in Scottsdale, Arizona, so when we first “met” it was online, via Skype – which is a great way for me to meet out-of-town brides planning destination weddings. We met for real back in April when we had an awesome engagement session at Uvas Canyon County Park near Morgan Hill. To […]
