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 canceled! 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 that included beautiful Indian wedding ceremonies, like Mehndi, and Western traditions. Then COVID happened. So, they decided to get married now and celebrate with […]
“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.

With its lush foliage and stunning light, The Presidio is always 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 […]
Lizzie & Patrick found me on Instagram. They are getting married out-of-state, but wanted to do their Engagement Session in the city where they live and love – San Francisco. It’s been very rainy lately around here. Finally it stopped raining and we went to the perfectly green and glorious Presidio. With all these rainy […]
When Amber and Josh told me about their San Francisco City Hall destination wedding, which would include a two-hour trolley tour around San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge, I thought it sounded like a pretty great day! They wanted their wedding to incorporate all their favorite things: architecture, food, and the city where […]
