Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. It’s been an incredible weekend packed with friends, food, and festivities. We kicked it off on Friday with two of our friends getting engaged in an elaborate surprise proposal plan, dinner and drinks with twenty friends from all over the US, fried chicken…
Amy and David might not have known it then, but the day they both attended their mutual friend’s birthday party was the day their lives would become forever intertwined. And not only would Amy and David fall in love and decide to get married, their friend Danny would come along as their officiant. It was…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. Just a couple days ago, I was on a mini vacation in Las Vegas. I have so many travels booked this year, but these couple months are truly packed with travel and weddings. It’s busy and wonderful. Below, one of my favorites from…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. This morning, I am back in Chicago, Illinois, about to film a wedding with Seaglass Cinema. This is the perfect time to share a beautiful image from last fall when I was here photographing Joffrey School trainee Nardia Boodoo. I just love the…
Bridgette and Ryan first met in Michigan, where they worked together at a communications company.

What an honor it is to photograph the Gardner family year after year after year. This is the fourth time I’ve had the privilege, and the first time (officially) that I got to photograph them at their home in Ojai. What made this portrait session extra special was that it was a gift from Aaron’s father….
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. On Friday, I had the privilege of attending opening night of the San Francisco Ballet’s Cinderella– a birthday gift from my friend Dan. It was a brand new production by Christopher Wheeldon, based on the Brothers Grimm version of the tale– a far darker version…
Roughly once a month, I introduce one of my favorite vendors in the industry– completely unpaid, just out of sheer love of working with them. This month, I am proud to feature the Berkeley City Club— one of my favorite wedding venues in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Why do I love this place?…
It was so wonderful to spend some time with Alexis and Frank in a city that has been so meaningful to their relationship. These two met in their office– a unique, floating office– as they are both Navy officers and worked together on their first ship out of San Diego. Friendship led to dating, and…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. We started the day at 4am with hair and makeup and then took a cab at 6am to the famous Tidal Basin of D.C., encircled with its monuments and the beautiful Japanese cherry blossoms that grace the area with their fleeting pink puffs…
I had the pleasure of meeting Yijin in Washington, D.C. when I traveled there for my ballerina shoots. It was an incredibly hot day for springtime in D.C., but the blossom-lined streets made for a beautiful backdrop in the historic streets of Georgetown.
