Hiking the Bay | Bothe-Napa, Redwood Regional, Cataract Falls, & Point Lobos

With her glowing smile and those stunning big brown eyes, Kristina is undeniably beautiful. But she has never been the princessy type.

And she only reluctantly removed her sporty black watch when her friends decisively banned her from wearing it to the wedding. The…

Erica & Robert’s Wedding

Erica and Robert were married on a Saturday in late August in gorgeous wine country around Santa Rosa, California. You might remember Erica & Robert’s engagement session when we got to roam around the entire property at Kunde Estate. We had such a great time, I knew this wedding would be a pleasure to shoot….
