I walked up to find George a bundle of nerves, rendered quiet with his level of anticipation before the ceremony. He’s usually the talkative one, according to Miriam. But the excitement of the day was a lot to take in. They had a whole crew of family members and friends there to support them in…
Tiffany and Greg made a whole suite of albums to commemorate their New Year’s Eve wedding: one for themselves, one for his parents, and one for hers. They chose a navy blue for the covers, in keeping with their wedding colors. And the covers were also fittingly debossed with custom calligraphy by Brown Fox Calligraphy,…
Evangel was a regular at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse when she was little, because her father had a key to the lighthouse! Not everyone gets such special treatment in this beautiful place, but it was thanks to her father’s position in the US Coast Guard. It seemed like the perfect place to bring her fiance…
I love that yellow is having something of a moment. It’s not always easy to design with yellow, since it can easily turn too childish or too country. But Melanie did a beautiful job keeping it elegant with her arrangements. See her beautiful work for this wedding at Arista Winery below! Anna Wu is…
Clara and Aaron are two sweet souls, warm with each other and their families. When they planned to get married, they decided to keep it simple, with just a few friends and family. They traveled to California from Berlin, Germany, where they live, and were wed in a lovely little park by the Bay, with…
Catherine and Anthony traveled to San Francisco from Indonesia, and they took the opportunity to book a pre-wedding photo session with me. We started in the iconic San Francisco City Hall and worked our way over to Land’s End and Sutro Baths. See just a couple highlights below: Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Sophia is brilliant, talks a mile a minute, remembers everyone she’s ever met, is busy saving the world, and salsa dances in her free time. It’s very difficult to keep up with her, but somehow she’s met her match in Terrence. He’s the doctor to her (former) lawyer, completely social media-less while Sophia is compulsively…
Jessica and Andrew were certain about marrying each other, but they weren’t so sure they wanted a wedding. They thought they might just go to City Hall and get married. But their families convinced them to put together this little backyard celebration instead. And it was indeed still lovely, simple, and filled with their closest…
You might remember S & H from their elopement back in April. They weren’t originally planning to have a whole wedding reception, but with the encouragement of their families, they decided to throw a little shindig, complete with a bubbles show, taco truck, and sundae bar, all at their family brewery in Rancho Cordova. We…
I love seeing weddings come together in this final form of an heirloom album. For Allie and David, we pulled together a medium-sized 10″ album and two 6″ minis for each of their parents. They all have this lovely grey silk on the covers as well. Take a little peek below to see what’s inside….
I have loved documenting Melanie’s beautiful floral designs at her weddings this season. We headed to Solage in Calistoga, where the centerpiece of the reception was this dramatic hanging installation over the dance floor. So cool! And all of the actual centerpieces were also so beautiful, with a gorgeous palette of purples and yellows. Beautiful colors…
Silpa and Preet share a love of photography, and it was an absolute delight to revel with them in this beautiful California sunshine. We began in the Marin headlands with the perfect scenic view into the valley, and we ended the session over at Land’s End in San Francisco. See some of my favorites below!…
