Jessica and Charles are two of a kind. They began as friends who quickly became inseparable and built a life together, making sure their pup Satchmo lives his best possible life alongside them. When Charles decided he wanted to propose to Jessica, he wanted to keep it low-key, and he wanted to keep it a…
She said yes! After she swatted at him with the garden map, haha. What a fun proposal, filled with genuine surprise, love, joy, and so many giggles. Evan originally had a very different proposal planned, for a completely different week down in Santa Cruz at their first date spot. But after accidentally tipping her off…
Land and sea. That was Jennifer’s request for their proposal location, and what a spectacular combination of land and sea they had for this beautiful moment. Jacob was making every effort to keep the proposal a surprise for Jennifer, but he inadvertently tipped her off, and then decided to just tell her everything. So, perhaps…
Summers in San Francisco can be notoriously cold and foggy, but Emily and Josh were rewarded with only the most beautiful, sun-kissed day for their wedding in the Presidio. Karl the Fog tried to make an entrance in the late afternoon but mostly observed the festivities from a respectful distance. And meanwhile, the guests were…
Jeff had proposed to Kelly atop this very hill, so we decided to return to the special spot, atop the Windy Hill Preserve for their engagement session. It turned out that Windy Hill was aptly named, as it was indeed very, very windy. But we were treated to the most beautiful golden hour and a…
It is such an honor to be invited back into my clients lives as they move through new chapters in their lives together. I first photographed Jen and Gary for their engagement session five years ago when we drove two hours north of Seattle for the beautiful coastal scenery. They have since gotten married and…
A warm and wonderful congratulations to Raquel and Ben! I absolutely love surprise proposals, and this one was an incredibly sweet one, complete with lots of tears and laughter. Ben reached out with his ideas for this Stanford proposal, and despite a last-minute pivot on the exact location due to some poorly placed construction fencing,…
I am an enthusiastic supporter of portrait sessions for all seasons of life and for celebrating anything any time. Of course I was delighted to hear from my past couple Vivian and Dru when they suggested a portrait session for them and two other couples, one big group of six friends, celebrating one marriage and…
On a beautifully sunny day, in the middle of the city that Fima and Noah called home, they formalized their vows, signing their San Francisco marriage license as well as their Jewish marriage license, the ketubah, as their family members contributed their blessings to the couple. They had managed to meet at the onset of…
What a beautiful setting on a beautiful evening for this wedding welcome party. Katelyn and Max held their rehearsal dinner with their closest friends and family, followed by drinks and a book swap with all of their guests. Take a peek at some highlights below. Welcome party guests were asked to each bring a book…
Emily and Chris met almost a decade ago, when Chris asked her out to coffee and she responded by saying she only drinks tea… it turns out that as a Brit he actually just drinks tea too. They were engaged in 2018 and had every intention of getting married in 2020 and doing a grand…
Irene and Martin have been on quite the life adventure in the last couple years. When they first booked me, it was for a multi-day photo session and City Hall wedding, but then life took over and family and personal circumstances meant they had to pivot from their City Hall plans. They were still wed,…
