I've been doing these flower bath shoots for a while now, and while I've made only one other attempt to fit two people into it at the same time, this was my first official flower bath shoot with a couple. Shooting these with a couple...
Heeey it's time for Christina and Julio's awesome Fairview Napa wedding! The day started out with Hok and I arriving at the airbnb in Sonoma that the girls were getting ready in. The house was abuzz with hair and makeup and getting dressed and family...
Ana Maria and Lucas met through a mutual love of fitness, as Lucas was a teacher at a bootcamp class that Ana attended. I had them write out how they met and I just laughed re-reading it; it's a pretty great story, so if you...
There's nothing I like photographing more than emotional moments at beautiful weddings, and for this Lauren and Jonathan's Saratoga Springs wedding was perfection. You could tell that in spite of whatever stress wedding planning might have caused, it was all pushed away when Lauren and...
Marion and Jake met when he was studying abroad, and from what I hear they hit it off immediately! Fast forward a few years and many travels together; they are living together in France, and I had the distinct pleasure of photographing their wedding at...
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...
