This one was extra special for me. A year and a half ago, I photographed Hanna and Trey's wedding at Thomas Fogarty Winery. There, I met Kaitlin - Hanna's maid of honor and cousin. Since then I've had the opportunity to take portraits of Kaitlin,...
Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is very aptly named. That said, I've gone hiking here a bunch, and have done other shoots here, and it has *never* been as windy and cold as it was for Katy and David's engagement shoot. It had been a...
Vasona Lake Park is a really popular destination for photographers, and as such it sometimes get a bad rap. We're always looking for something new and cool and unknown. But honestly? I kind of love it. The light is gorgeous in the evening, and there...
If I had to summarize K and C with one word, it would be "laughter". I am finding more and more how much I enjoy working with joyful couples who make each other laugh, and K & C were no exception. Their Portola Valley Community...
Heather and Chris got married on a gorgeous spring day in Danville. We started with come photos of their getting ready - I went with the ladies and my second shooter Hok photographed the gents. Even though the time went quickly, we managed some fun...
Happy Monday! Monday is often blog day around here, and today I'm excited to share Kelly and Lien's sunny Napa winery engagement session. Not only are they members at Silverado Vineyards, but they are, by their own admission "there all the time". I was skeptical...
Rain and David have a really unique love story. Their wedding at Eagle Ridge Golf Course was part wedding, part vow renewal. They met online not quite 5 years ago while David was stationed in Europe. They hit it off and became friends and dated...
Happy Monday everyone! And happy first wedding blog of the year! I ask all of my couples to tell me a bit about themselves when they first book, and I not-so-secretly hope I can use some of what they share with me in their wedding...
Since we're coming up on half a year since I did this amazing shoot, I figured it was about time to blog it :). With this flowerbath shoot I was aiming for an autumn type feel (yep, and I didn't publish it until spring. That's...
Happy Sunny Tuesday world! It's really feeling like spring around here, and what better way to ring in the season then with some photos of people in love in some wild flowers? No, I know, I couldn't think of anything better either. So suffice it...
Even though the weather can't figure out if it's winter or spring, engagement season is in full swing over here at Juniper Spring headquarters :). I've been scheduling shoots in between rain showers (though if someone wants a nice cold rainy session, I'm down for...
This engagement shoot in Morgan Hill was full of personal touches for Mariana and Kristo. They opted to do their session on Kristo's family's property which will one day be passed down to him. We got to tour part of the property and even hike...
As you might by now know, I have a particular fondness for redwoods. Well, trees in general, but redwoods in particular. I enjoy the feeling of being so small among these steadfast giants. So, of course, I was pretty pleased that Katie and Kevin decided...
It's no secret now that I love photographing people in water. There's something about it which is ethereal and raw at the same time - something primal and beautiful and unfettered. People move differently in water, and the water moves itself, and it moves the...
You know you've heard it from your friends who have gotten married, or maybe even thought it yourself as you look at wedding photography options: "I have a friend who takes pictures" or "my uncle has a camera" or even "my bff is a photographer"....
