Emily and James envisioned having an intimate ceremony with a small group of family, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t have a big celebration afterward! They exchanged their vows, complete with happy tears and lots of giggles, on the rooftop of The Pearl in San Francisco. Downstairs, they welcomed their guests with food, drinks and […]

These two adventurous people met 10 years ago on a teaching trip in South America.

Being a California native, I think Big Sur is the crown jewel of our beautiful California coastline and is […]

    When Tommy and Noah told me Sister Roma of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was officiating their wedding, I knew it was going to be good! Their wedding celebrated love, family and everything San Francisco. Held at the historic City Club of San Francisco, it was the perfect place for the ’20s style celebration. […]

Dear Emme, It’s such an honor to watch you grow up. This is our eighth shoot and maybe one of my favorites. You continue to amaze me. I can’t believe how much you have changed and what an amazing little person you are becoming. I love you madly, little one. Auntie *You can see a […]
