I had the pleasure of capturing some lovely moments at a wedding held at the gorgeous Gardener Ranch, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. First off, let’s talk about the venue. Gorgeous Gardener Ranch is like a hidden gem, tucked away amidst oak trees and lush meadows. It’s the kind […]
Hacienda de las Flores is an enchanting Spanish-style estate in the East Bay that has always been a personal favorite of mine. Its stunning features make it truly stand out.

When Allison and Aaron contacted me about moving their wedding date, I thought it was Covid-related because that was the type of email I was getting back then.

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 […]
