Wow guys, what an amazing way to start off the wedding season. No rain, but some cool clouds – gorgeous bride and dapper groom; and all the trimmings that make a wedding unique and wonderful. There were so many tears of joy and spontaneous bouts of laughter, I really had a good time with this […]

There was just such texture, such color, such romance! Oh, and a lot of beer hehe. Enjoy my favorite […]

I adore Alexis and Adam, they’ve got an amazing energy that’s infectious – everyone was smiling and dancing all day; and it’s no surprise that because they are really into dancing, many of the guests were highly skilled in the art as well. I wish the dance floor had been big enough to pull off […]

Until I met Pam and Bill, I didn’t even know that you could get married at Wagner’s Grove, which is a short hike up from Harvey West Park in Santa Cruz. It’s a lovely redwood grove, though, and it’s nice that you don’t have to go way up into the Santa Cruz mountains to access […]

In some cultures it’s good luck to have rain on your wedding day… although here in ‘merica we tend to frown upon such circumstances. But you know what? Jesse and Nicole powered through it with smiles on this September day, and after the ceremony it cleared up enough to get some great bride and groom […]

The Perry House is one of my favorite wedding venues to shoot at. It’s intimate, has lots of nooks and crannies for people to hang out in, they have multiple levels and patios, a killer bridal suite, an amazing view of the ocean, a nifty pizza oven – and most of all a staff that […]

Tania and Michael are one of those couples that have natural chemistry, and seem to know what the other is thinking. Tania tends to have this little smile on her face, like there’s always a private joke she’s sharing with her significant other. The first time I really spent some quality time with these two […]

It had been several years since I’d shot a wedding at Monarch Cove Inn – a lovely little venue overlooking the ocean in Capitola, California; so of course I was elated when Molly told me I was her top choice of the photographers she’d interviewed. There are separate suites on the property for the guys […]

It’s been several years since I shot a wedding at the historical Sesnon House; it’s on the Cabrillo College property, and literally one mile from my house. I’m so used to traveling for weddings it’s a guilty pleasure to have one practically in my back yard. Peggy and Roger are like kindred spirits to me […]

Every year I shoot a Tahoe wedding at least once, and I was lucky to work with a cool couple like Kaelin and Jayson. The outdoor ceremony at Lake Tahoe Golf Course had an amazing backdrop, and the weather cooperated beautifully I must say. The reception was held at Riva Grill downtown, where everyone partied […]

I’ve known Astra for many years; she’s an amazing woman, a highly talented graphic designer, and exudes style and sexiness. And Steve? That dude is sexy too. I don’t know about his other qualities, but if Astra loves him, then he’s A-OK in my book. Because of these reasons and more, I was honored and […]

I shoot at least one wedding in Sonoma every year, and it’s always so damn pleasant there – which is probably why it’s such a popular destination for Northern California vacationers. I hadn’t met Sandy or Sanjay before their wedding day, so I was a little apprehensive about what to expect. When I met Sandy, […]

I’m always a little worried when people tell me they’re getting married at a restaurant – I mean, how many restaurants would make good backdrops for a decent sized wedding? Well, Tarpy’s Roadhouse is actually a historical residence-turned restaurant, so it’s got all the texture and presence of a structure that’s stood the test of […]

I met with Kylie and Mike last October about their upcoming wedding at Kohl Mansion, and was excited when they told me I was their first choice as wedding photographer.
