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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I never met Sarah and Kenny until their wedding day as it was more of a destination wedding for them and their guests (coming form Oregon). There’s always a little anxiety/excitement when this happens since it’s a really big event in someone’s life and you want to have a good connection with the bride and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
