Some couples want a big wedding, but more and more couples are having smaller, more intimate celebrations. Some of my favorite weddings were elopements and minimonies.

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 […]

family hugging at the beach

My goal for a family portrait session is for everyone to have fun and enjoy the process. However, parents are usually stressed; kids want to be free and let loose. It has been said that “kids and animals are the hardest to work with,” but I beg to differ.  This fun family session is a […]

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding at Golden Gate Club at the Presidio. It was an incredibly fun and joyful celebration that perfectly captured the essence of love and commitment. Sean & Alexa shared a special connection that was truly palpable. From the tender moments during their exchange of vows to […]

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. The first thing that captures your attention is the intimate, mature garden setting. The upper lawn has a beautiful blue atlas, cedar trees, pines, willows, palms, […]

There’s the family you are born into, and there’s the family you choose. Kristen met Eric through Eric’s younger sister Julia, who was Kristen’s college roommate (and still one of her best friends today). After seeing each other occasionally over the years, Kristen and Eric’s relationship blossomed while planning a group trip to Costa Rica. […]

“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 […]

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 adventurous people met 10 years ago on a teaching trip in South America. Since being together, they have survived being lost in a volcano, lived through a massive earthquake and have seen the world! After enduring all of that, planning a wedding was a piece of cake (well, a piece of Kouign-Amann from […]

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 […]

Bride and Groom at the waterfall lodge

I am obsessed with redwoods and add a wedding to the mix! That is my happy place.
