We headed out to Sutro Baths for Megan and Andrew’s engagement session on what must have been the windiest day of the year. But despite the chilly air aggressively whipping us about, both of them were so wonderful and in good spirits the whole time. See just a few of my favorites from the session…

I am always thrilled when my couples hire a great planner for their wedding. A great wedding planner can oversee all the details of the day and ensure that everything runs smoothly, and it often makes a huge difference, especially for those of us who work on everything behind the scenes. I sat down with my friend and…

I’ve brought back my Portrait Parties! This was the third party in the series after a long hiatus from last year. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect…

Shirin and Eric first met at SantaCon five years ago (with her dressed as Ms. Gingerbread and he as Super Santa), so Christmas is one of their favorite times of year. For the proposal, Eric wanted to pay tribute to Shirin’s old tradition of creating fairytale books for her family, so he taught himself how…
