Meet Cute – noun (in a film or television show) an amusing or charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them. “it all started with a little meet-cute in a hospital elevator” Movies are infamous for meet-cute moments. But when it happens in real life…well, how […]

 When Haley & TJ had to moved to their wedding to the family home in Palo Alto because of our old friend Covid, I got super excited. This home has been in the family for years and years. The one thing 2020 has taught us is to pivot and that is what we did! The […]

When your wedding in Mexico was cancelled due to COVID, these two came up with a Plan B. Like so many others, they had to change their course and do a hometown wedding in San Francisco. But before their wedding day, they wanted to celebrate their engagement with an engagement session. I can’t think of a better reason to finally peel yourself out […]

Love is not cancelled! That was all I kept thinking during Mila and Jordan’s sweet, socially-distant backyard wedding. They had originally booked me for a big two-day celebration – a celebration to include beautiful Indian wedding ceremonies, like Mehndi, and also western traditions. Then COVID happened. So, they decided to get married now, and celebrate with friends and family next year when it’s safe. They were lucky enough to have a small wedding […]

  Planning a wedding is stressful. Add a global pandemic to the mix, and let’s just say 2020 isn’t what any of us expected.  Usually during this time of the summer, so many couples are getting hitched and I’m neck deep into the wedding season. Instead, here we are – five months into the COVID-19 […]

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans,” John Lennon sings in his song “Beautiful Boy.” Millions and millions of us are living that reality as COVID-19 disrupts our plans and lives. We are going to be living with ” a new normal”. Krista and Josh had planned to wed at San Francisco […]

Christine and Ryan wanted a classic, but low-key wedding, and they knew San Francisco City Hall was the place. (Check out more SF City Hall Weddings here.)  They invited a few of their closest friends and family members to celebrate. First, a fun-filled ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, where they “made it official” on […]

Getting married under the mighty California Redwoods nothing short of amazing.  Zoe & Will pick the perfect place to highlight these beautiful giants. They brought their loved ones and closest friends together to celebrate the day at Lagunitas Country Club. We had the best time capturing the celebration. Not to mention the dancing and awesome […]

  With its lush foliage and stunning light, The Presidio is aways a favorite location for an engagement session. India & Mitch agreed, so we spent the afternoon hiking the grounds to find the most stunning backdrops for their engagement shoot. India and Mitch come from different states, but met and fell in love here […]

While late fall weddings aren’t as popular as the traditional summer wedding, it always makes me happy to be able to photograph a wedding that time of year. When you combine the fall season with wine country (which is gorgeous anytime, but especially in the fall), the beautiful light and the changing leaves make for a […]

I love a San Francisco Wedding. I’m lucky to work in such a beautiful city. When I talked to Hahnbi & Nahyun about their day, I was so excited to hear all about the details and get to know them better.  The first spot was atop Nob Hill; the Fairmont San Francisco is an architectural […]
