They are both graduate students at UC Berkeley studying the archaeology and history of Ancient Greece. A wedding isn’t something they had time to plan for, but with the help of family and friends, this very sweet and romantic DYI backyard wedding was born. These two were so happy celebrating on a family friend’s farm. A perfect […]

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 […]

  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 […]

  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 […]

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 […]

This is the story of Alexa & Paul’s Foggy summer wedding at The Mavericks Event Center in Half Moon Bay. As is typical in the summer on the coast of California, the fog made an appearance on their wedding day. But the cool air was no match for all of the warmth of friends and family […]

These two are getting married in Spain and wanted to represent where they created a life together. So we headed over to beautiful Land’s End for their engagement session. Summer in San Francisco is pretty cold, and Karl the Fog always appears correct when my sessions start – it never fails. So even though this time […]

Looking back on 2018, I feel so honored to have been a part of so many special celebrations. Thank you to all of my clients who trusted me to capture and witness such beautiful moments in their lives. I was able to photograph weddings at some new places and check them off of my bucket […]

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 […]

Lands End is one of my favorite spots in San Francisco. The view is beautiful and the light – perfect! I have shot there many times, and every time I see something new. The recent San Francisco Engagement Session with Emily and James was no exception. They are the sweetest couple, and Lands End was […]
