Isabella and Hugh chose wine country, a place they’ve loved visiting together, for their engagement session. We met up in Yountville and visited a couple different spots for this sunny evening of portraits. See some highlights below! We kick it off with the beautiful vineyards at Domaine Chandon. After some portraits around Domaine Chandon, we…
They met when their mutual friends converged into a large group at midnight. Chris played hard to get, waiting an entire week before calling. But ever since then, they’ve been inseparable. Four years later, Kim and Chris ventured up north with their friends and family in tow to be wed. It was such a beautiful…
I always love photographing surprise proposals, but this one was an especially fun treat, as the proposal was for my good friend Tiffany. She has long known that she wanted to marry Greg, and she has long said that she would want me there to photograph the proposal. Tiffany and I both travel a lot, so we actually share…
Back in March, right after I had gotten back from New Zealand and Australia (which I have yet to blog), I got to join my friend Nancy for a day of wine tasting in Healdsburg in celebration of her birthday. It was such a lovely way to return to California. See some of the beautiful…
Mawwage! Mawwage is wot bwings us togeder today. Yes, the ceremony from The Princess Bride. A (Jewish) friend dressed in full Catholic bishop regalia kicked off the wedding with his hilarious rendition of the ceremony, performed with a straight face all the way through. This happened after the bride walked down the aisle with a…
Adrienne and Jenton are two peas in a pod. Their quirky energy and generous sense of humor always leaves them laughing together. Their wedding day was graced with a million beautiful details hand crafted by Adrienne and a beautiful first dance kicked off with singing from the groom himself. It’s hard to imagine two people better suited…
They first met at business school in Philadelphia, where they founded a startup together, and they later moved to California, the land of startups, where Jenny joined the team at Pebble and Adam joined Google. The two of them were full of smiles on their wedding day. The lovely Buena Vista Winery served as a perfect…
Today, we take a little break from the midst of wedding season to head up to Sonoma Valley for a harvest celebration, California-style. It was actually last week that I made this little day trip with my friends Tiffany and Dan. We spent the day touring and tasting at four different wineries– all part of…
The party was beautifully arranged– the perfect balance of a casual gathering and an elegant reception. Meghana and Aseem gathered with some of their closest family and friends at the Jacuzzi Family Winery in Sonoma, not quite for their wedding yet, but for their engagement party. It was a wonderful California celebration in advance of their Denver wedding later…
This is our second Style Me Pretty feature for the month! It’s Amy & David’s lovely wedding at Gloria Ferrer Winery in Sonoma. I love a good wine country wedding, and Gloria Ferrer not only has a lovely wine cave for receptions but also has breathtaking vineyard views surrounding its property. The florals hit the…
A mile up the road from the lodge, we made the right turn. We wound down a short gravel road as the dust kicked up and painted golden beams of sunlight in the air. At the end of the path, a clearing– a spectacular clearing, with a canyon full of evergreens lit in the background….
Julie and Jeremy first met when their projects converged at Google. Actually, Julie had to pull a few strings to get Jeremy onto her project, but he finally helped her turn the Google Maps cursor into a panda bear for an April Fools joke. And as they tell it, it was love at first site….
