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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 but also 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 seems to make an appearance right when my sessions start – it never fails. So even though […]

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 […]
