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 […]

The neatest thing I can think about Chris and Frances is how they met. Their priest told the wonderful story during the ceremony, but the gist of it is this: they grew up as neighbors, but never really met or interacted. They’re both really involved with their church and community, and they didn’t truly meet […]

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. […]

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 […]

After a really romantic engagement session at 3-mile beach in Santa Cruz, I was really looking forward to Jason and Kelley’s wedding at Lakeland Village, South Lake Tahoe. We have a lot of common friends, which really adds to the fun of any wedding. Tahoe is a special place for me since that’s where Becky […]

What a fun group of people Lila and Dylan invited to their Chaminade wedding in Santa Cruz. It was a whirlwind of tattoos & cocktails mixed with love, tears and happiness. A strong current of Jamaican spirit wove through the day’s festivities, building to a fever pitch when Reggae band Warrior King took the stage […]

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 […]

Anne and Jason are from Florida and Montana, and decided to have an incredibly intimate destination wedding at Carneros Inn, Napa, California. You’d think early June would be a shoe-in for fantastic, sunny weather, but 2011 has been a year of change, and mother nature was throwing us all for a loop. It poured on […]

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 […]

Danielle and Andrew had the most gorgeous wedding last year up in Lake Tahoe. Revisiting the images from last September with their photo choices for the album was a real treat. I have to say they did a pretty good job picking the best photos to represent the day in a 30 page album. Enjoy […]
