I’ve seen some high-fives in my day, buit Nic and Lindsey make an art form out of it. They showed me how they do it at their Vasona Park engagement session, and of course had to follow up with a jumping high-five on their wedding day.

Sometimes the wedding day just get a little too busy, too crazy, and there’s just not enough time to get those beautiful bride and groom portraits. Lauren’s dad has a beautiful property in the Santa Cruz mountains, replete with lush garden “rooms,” redwoods, vines and even an odd antique bed frame thrown in there. We […]

Kelly + Ryan = Sexy Awesomeness. I met with Kelly last year about her unconventional wedding plans, and we ended up talking for a couple hours about her vision for her big day, and we really connected. The next time we met was for their Panther Beach engagement session, which was fun, sexy and a […]

I last met Danielle and Tony during their romantic engagement session at Felton Covered Bridge Park and Loch Lomond. It was great practice for them leading up to the wedding day. Instead of meeting up with Danielle (typically us photographers meet up with the bride first), I met Tony and his groomsmen at Tony’s parents […]

I met both Kim and John for their Capitola engagement shoot only a few weeks before their wedding. This didn’t leave much time for me to process all their photos in time for them to order some to use at their wedding. So I was amazed to see a faux movie poster (using one of […]

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. Being of the heritage, Ryan was in full-Scottish garb – Kilt, Sporran (the man-purse thing), and of course the wicked blade strapped […]

Last time I saw Valerie and Mark was for their Central Park Santa Clara engagement session back in May.

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 […]

I first met this lovely couple during their engagement shoot at Nisene Marks forest in Aptos, California. They’re a really great looking as you can see, and have quirky, fun personalities as an added bonus. They chose Willow Heights Mansion in Morgan Hill for their wedding venue, and to be honest, I wasn’t too thrilled […]

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 […]
