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. Kelly is one of those people that loves details, and her wedding was no exception – from the impeccable dining arrangements to […]

Wedding albums – the ultimate keepsake from one of the biggest days of your life. These days so many couples skip the album in lieu of digital files, and while we, the professional photographers, must adapt to the online lifestyle and wants of our clientele, it’s nice to know that the physical wedding album hasn’t […]

My first wedding of the year! The only stressful part was waking up at 4:30am to ensure I could get to the UC Berkeley Campus at 8:30am in time for the formals! Josiah and Angela love old, well-conceived architecture, so it makes sense that their engagement session was held among the giant pillars of the […]

Lindsey contacted me a couple weeks before she was due to be married, telling me about how her and George had finally decided to tie the knot after 15 years together. Neither of them had ever been married, so it was neat to see it happen for them. The wedding took place at the Dream […]

I met Chris quite a few years ago on a magazine shoot where we profiled his Morning Crane Healing Center business. I was intrigued by what he did, and apparently the feeling was mutual at the time, for he called me up years later after he proposed to Parisa. They really bring out the best […]

Do a good job at a wedding and you’re bound to get referrals down the line. It may not be immediate – heck, it may be years, but it will happen. I shot Troy’s brother’s wedding back in 2006, so I was excited to reunite with the DeSouza family for this 2011 wedding. I had […]

I really hope Katie’s sister starts using her property in Felton as a wedding venue for other brides. This was the first test, and I have to say it worked out so well! I met Katie through her sister Hollie as I’d had a portrait session with her and her husband the previous year.I’m so […]

After meeting this sweet couple three days before at their last-minute e-session, it was like deja-vu seeing with them again so soon. I arrived at Highlands Park in the morning and the place was buzzing with excited activity as friends and family helped assemble Noel and Marin’s special wedding day. As always, I assured them […]

I have an affinity for black hot rods (since I own one), so when Joe rolled up for his and Christine’s engagement session in his black corvette, I knew we’d get along just fine. We had a great time exploring the Los Gatos mountains around Belgatos Park, chasing the sun up the hill before it […]

This was my first wedding at Seascape Golf Club in Aptos, and I have to say it is a really fun venue – especially with a fun couple like Mya and Chase. Their little one tried to steal the show with all her cuteness, I just love photographing kids at weddings and she was no […]

Meghan and John are big into the outdoors – hiking, camping, whatever. If it’s under the roof of the sky, they’re down with it. We started out our friendship with a smokin’ hot engagement session in Santa Cruz. We started out with a “lost hiker” theme which somehow turned into a bikini/shorts-clad Baywatch I’m-gonna-rescue-you-from-that-shark type of […]

The first time I got to really hang out with Ben and Monica was during their Moss Beach engagement shoot at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. I pretty much make it a requirement these days for many reasons, but most of all I just like to get to know couples a little better before spending the biggest […]

Gilda and Tony are a fun, loving couple that I really enjoyed getting to know and photographing. When we shot the engagement session at 3-mile beach, the first thing I noticed was the height difference between the two. This opened up opportunities for creative compositions that I usually can’t try, which is fun. I love […]

Our first photographic encounter was at Central Park in Santa Clara for Jenn and Jacob’s sexy engagement session (bat and balls included). I had so much fun with this couple I knew their wedding was going to be one to remember. Fresh into my September weddings, I was in top form for this loving couple. […]

I *love* themed weddings, when a bride is inspired or passionate enough to create something unique or intimately connected to their personality. When Erin told me about her Roaring ’20s vintage wedding idea – replete with flapper dresses and bowler hats, I knew I had to be the photographer she would choose! She explained to […]

Honestly I don’t think I’ve met a couple who are so at ease with one another – who can’t help but bend over in fits of laughter and giggles every five minutes. It’s like life is one big, long, private joke that they alone share – but yet invite others in to share in their […]

I met Tim and Heather last year for their awesome Pescadero Beach engagement session – it was great practice for trying out poses and gave me a chance to get to know this couple before their big day. They fit together like a two-piece puzzle, and complement each other perfectly in their own unique ways. […]

With a wedding in the morning at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz, and the reception at Quail Hollow Ranch in Aptos, Laura and Kalen had two beautiful locations to celebrate their union with all their friends and family. The ceremony was held inside a ring of flowers and bubble making favors with all the guests […]

This was my first wedding at Sand Rock Farm Bed & Breakfast, so there’s always a little anxiety related to shooting at new places – which is why I show up early to get the lay of the land and scope out all the cool places to shoot. Nestled in the hills of Aptos, this […]
