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 […]

  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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Boy meets Girl. Boy falls in love with Girl. Boy and Girl get a dog and then have an engagement session at two of San Francisco’s most beautiful locations. That’s where A Girl and A Camera Photography comes in. These two wanted to do their engagement session in the two places they love: Buena Vista […]

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 […]

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 […]
