I had a really great time with Alyssa and Paul during their streets of San Francisco engagement shoot; I knew their wedding at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley would be a blast. The photo boards below show my favorite photos from their Jewish wedding and reception – so scroll on for the highlights […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

After our smokin’ hot engagement session at the beach, I couldn’t wait for Jared and Jasmine’s wedding at Roaring Camp in Felton. They are such a fun, happy couple – and clearly they’ve touched the hearts of so many friends and family. The whole wedding got a ride on the steam train through the redwoods […]

Four years ago I shot one of Lynda’s coworker’s weddings, then another, and then another… So by the time Lynda needed a wedding photographer of her own, it was practically a foregone conclusion that she’d be seeking out my services. No pressure on my end, I was excited about the succession of beautiful brides coming […]

After a super fun engagement session up in the city, I was psyched about shooting Danny and Rachelle’s much anticipated wedding at Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose. I arrived early as I pretty much always do to get the lay of the land and find cool places to shoot. It was a gorgeous day […]

I’ve known Chris and Leah for several years now, and I was excited when they asked me to officially capture the culmination of their wedding plans at the beautiful Cinnabar Golf Course in the hills above San Jose and Morgan Hill. We started the day at Hotel Los Gatos where some of the bridal party […]

I’ve covered the annual tree-lighting ceremony at the Four Seasons hotel in East Palo Alto several times over the last few years – they do such a great job of having lots of activities for little kids, plus yummy drinks and snacks for the adults. Santa arrived in an Escalade (what no Prius Santa?), and […]

Elizabeth booked my services just a couple weeks before her wedding day. There were only a few people attending (Mom, Dad, Sis, Kids) so it was an incredibly intimate affair. Of course Pacific Grove decided to rain that day – and rain it did – pretty much continuously. But it was light showers, not the […]

I met Sergio Retamal a year and change ago, he publishes a magazine called Global Supply Chain Review and owns his own consulting business focused on… GSCLG is an association of senior Supply Chain executives, magazine editors, selected consultants, and other Supply Chain thought leaders built on the foundation of local chapters, who come together […]

I briefly met Shane and Linda last year at the local Starbucks for our “do we want to work together” meet-up. I thought they were great, and apparently the feeling was mutual. Fast forward a year and here we are – October 16, 2010. The weather threatened to rain – which would have put a […]

Nici (“Nikee”) and Dalas (“Dallas”) are one of those couples that are just meant to be together. They’re laid back, funky and ironic in a cool way. We met at beautiful Highlands Park up in Ben Lomond; for those of you not familiar with the area, this is in the Santa Cruz Mountains past Scotts […]

I met Dee and her twin sister way back in college, and thanks to Facebook we reconnected last year. We’d known of each others’ goings-on in a general sense through common friends, so she knew I’d gone professional with photography since the college days. As she was recently engaged, Dee contacted me to see if […]

I met Rachel and Brandon when we had our engagement shoot back in July of this year down in my old stompin’ grounds, Morgan Hill. During that shoot – I discovered they were a special couple – not only are they both incredibly easy on the eyes, but they have a chemistry that makes them […]

I met Grant and Karyn through Franco Uomo, the upscale men’s clothing store at Santana Row. While there, Grant got a few items for his suit, and when he mentioned he was getting married in a few weeks, Franco asked if he had a photographer. A couple days later, Grant and Karyn ended up hiring […]
