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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

Last time I met up with Jenny and Dimitriy was for their Foothills Park Palo Alto engagement session, so it was great to see these guys again on their wedding day. They are good friends of my past clients Jared and Jasmine – who in fact were both in today’s wedding party. I love seeing past […]

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. They were a really fun couple to work with then, so I’d been looking forward to what they had in store for their wedding at the Mountain Terrace in Woodside, California. I met up with Valerie […]

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 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. I was a little concerned about how good a culinary school would look for a wedding, but once I got to Ramekins and scoped out […]

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 […]

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 […]

For Stephanie and Chris, Maui is home. Steph teaches art to little kids, and Chris is an executive chef at a local restaurant. Between the two, they created a wedding that was artistically creative and infused with delicious food. About 70 family members and friends flew in to add to the 30 locals for this […]

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 […]
