There are a million details that these two, along with their planner, paid attention to but I think my very favorite was the record album seating chart! Vinyl lovers? So good, right?? They also gave themselves enough coverage to meander gently through the day. I was with them for an entire 10 hours and that opportunity meant that we could…
Read MoreThe day of their wedding was absolutely magical. Parker was an absolute vision in her Phoebe dress from Elizabeth Fillmore Bridal, and Geoffrey looked so dapper in his Chookhare & Sons suit. The San Francisco City Hall provided the most stunning backdrop for their intimate ceremony, and the florals (credits below) were just breathtaking…
Read MoreWhen Zoe & Daniel first reached out to me they expressed that in my photography they found “Personal, intimate, at times more informal, striking images, landscape/scenery of Northern California.” Yes. That’s exactly…
Read MoreIt was a chilly and incredibly windy summer morning when Danielle and I headed out to The Sea Ranch Lodge to begin our day. We always arrive on location early so that we have time to visit or re-visit properties. It’s important to me that we walk into our day with a plan, those can change, but knowing the property well and when and how…
Read More“We really care about a balance of having intimate photos of the two of us and also making sure we have really meaningful photos of our friends and family who will be joining us. Many of my friends and most of Jon's friends and family are from the East Coast and this will be one of the few moments when we get to have all of these people together.”
Read MoreDalya and Near absolutely kicked wedding vibes out of the park. They chose to hold a relatively traditional Jewish wedding celebration at the beautiful Yokayo ranch in Ukiah California. It was the absolute perfect backdrop for the big emotions of the day. Landscape is gorgeous, and Rachel put so much time and energy into making the ranch absolutely perfect for her guests.
Read MoreJennie and Natalie have been visiting Healdsburg for years, in fact Jennie’s mother lives in the area so it made sense to invite their closets folks to a wine filled wedding weekend enjoying all that our area has to offer. Beyond the generosity, consideration and warmth that exude from these two brides, I want to give them deep acknowledgment for something far more subtle but massively impactful…
Read MoreI first photographed Zsofia & Alex’s engagement session at Kirby Cove in San Francisco and after spending some time together I was just that much more excited for their big day. Zsofia and Alex are all heart and it shows. I knew their wedding was going to be sweet and lovely and…
Read MoreI have had the privilege of photographing Tory & Reed on three different occasions. First I photographed their engagement session at Kirby Cove in San Francisco California, then again in Bodega Bay. And finally\, of course, on their beautiful wedding day. I have, along the way, been just in infatuation with these two, their joy and kindness. I always seek out joyful kind folks to work with and these two have been top notch…
Read MoreBefore heading to the Alton hotel for some getting ready moments, we stopped at Gallery 308 first to scope it out. We planned out multiple first look spaces as well as options for sunset photos, family and wedding party photos. Fort Mason has so many options it’s nearly silly. In planning those spots out though, I take into consideration…
Read MoreI first photographed Zsofia & Alex’s engagement session at Kirby Cove in San Francisco and after spending some time together I was just that much more excited for their big day. Zsofia and Alex are all heart and it shows. I knew their wedding was going to be sweet and lovely and…
Read MoreIn editing Samantha & Marco’s images into one cohesive story I was struck by how many small choices they made that created a flowing and easy going celebration. I thought I’d take this opportunity to talk about what I think they did right so that you might be inspired…
Read MoreLauren & Red’s wedding was a victim of COVID reschedules and I have to say I’m not mad about it. Sure it was another hurdle to hop over, two actually, but then when it was finally rescheduled it was also moved to Joshua Tree! I was super not sad or mad. I was stoked!
Read MoreMinju and Marcus had one primary goal for their wedding day besides marrying one another. Making sure to create an atmosphere that felt inclusive to both families was number one. Two families of different cultures, languages & traditions were coming together to celebrate these two and they wanted to make sure that…
Read MoreLos Angeles has a very special place in my heart. Over the last decade I’ve spent more time there than I really ever thought I would. I fell in love with the city quickly and the kids and I try to get down once or twice a year. We have our particular go-to neighborhoods, restaurants and shops and that feels really special to me since, for them, I want memories over things on shelves. I digress…
Read MoreBuckle up buttercup. This is a long post :) I generally do not photograph friend’s weddings. In fact I wouldn’t have said yes if I knew this beautiful bride would become one of my dearest and trusted friends. But alas… I had the (not even slightly) daunting task of celebrating behind the camera. I generally say no to friends because A)…
Read MoreCaitlin and Robert are one of the many couples that have had to adjust and then readjust because of COVID-19. And they are one of the many couples that have done that with grace, patience and kindness. This is a team effort between us all, client and vendors and we have to work together, giving each other enough space to hold truths dear when it comes to…
Read MoreTrying to work a wedding into a pandemic isn’t an easy thing. Especially when what you’d like most is to include your closest family in your day. This small group of loved ones took every precaution to create a safe environment for them all including isolation and testing of all sorts…
Read MoreWhat these two have going for them, besides their undying love and adoration for one another (which was palpable) is a network of loved ones supporting and loving them deeply. Family formals are often the least favorite 30 minutes of couples on a wedding day and I have to say, not always my favorite either. But these guys! Wow :) They all looked at the camera for that “one”, you know, and then they just simply enjoyed each other’s company!
Read MoreI knew working with these two would be incredible but also I felt a kinship with them, a friendship even, right away. I WANTED to see them get married. I knew they were made for eachother. I won’t go into their meeting story because it’s not mine to tell but suffice to say it’s extraordinary… a once in a lifetime happenstance.
