Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day! Here are just some of the many great father-daughter moments from the past year!
Nyesha & Eugene’s Intimate Garden Wedding | Imperial Hotel, Amador City | Northern California Wedding Photography
An hour east of Sacramento, there lies a tiny little town called Amador City. Today, with less than 200 residents, it is but a charming little remnant of the California gold rush. Nyesha and Eugene had vacationed here and stayed at the Imperial Hotel a year before, and they decided it would also be the…
Carla & Matt | Duke University Chapel & Nasher Museum | North Carolina Wedding Photography
Just seeing the way that he looks at her would be an inspiration to even the coldest-hearted cynic. Both Matt and Carla said it and exuded it throughout the day– they were just so happy to be marrying each other, and they could not wait to begin their marriage together. They waited through long distance…
Erin & Thomas’ Elopement | Big Sur Wedding Photography
This elopement takes my breath away. Erin is a painter; Thomas is a composer. They both knew they didn’t want a big, expensive wedding. It was difficult for their families to not be there for the ceremony, but they knew this was what fit them best. They flew from New York City to Big Sur,…
Christine & Scott | V. Sattui | Napa California Wedding Photography
They envisioned an outdoor wedding at a Napa Valley winery, V. Sattui. The courtyard would be strung with lights and guests would be seated in the cozy little square. But mother nature had other plans when the forecasts all turned to rain. Of course, Christine and Scott didn’t let it stop them for one second….
Cat & Dan | Santa Monica California Wedding Photography
She was a little bundle of nerves all morning. She just could not wait to marry the love of her life. It was seven years ago that she had reached between the seats of a bus to tap him on the shoulder. They were on their way to a sorority/fraternity party, and she had wanted…

Best of 2011: Weddings
I know I know, it’s almost February, and I am still back in 2011, recapping weddings. Please forgive me. I thought about letting this post slide by, but I simply couldn’t let it go. 2011 was filled to the brim with such wonderful couples, unique venues all across the country, the most touching moments, and above…
Nina & Fernando | Windsor, California Wedding Photography
They are high school sweethearts, best friends, and partners for life. With Nina’s brilliant smile and Fernando’s kind heart, they brighten every room they enter. Nina and Fernando were wed in December in a beautiful celebration with summery sunlight, beautiful autumn leaves, and a sparkling winter wonderland all rolled into one. A great mother daughter…
Evelia & Joseph’s Wedding Album
Even in a digital age– perhaps especially in a digital age– it is still so important to have printed photographs. I absolutely love creating heirloom wedding albums for my couples. Below are just a few sample spreads from Evy & Joe‘s wedding album, which they created as a beautiful gift for Joe’s grandmother. Use the…
Kristen & Ryan | Kate & Mike | Wedding Albums
I am in love with these wedding albums. It’s been such a great pleasure to create these books for my couples this year. Every single one is so precious and filled with beautiful memories. I just wanted to share two of them with you today: First, Kristen & Ryan’s super thick 80-page wedding album. I…
Catherine & Joe | Fort Mason | San Francisco Wedding Photography
You can see it in the way their eyes sometimes lock– they’ve found their sense of home in one another. Catherine and Joe first met when they worked together at the same accounting firm, and it took years of friendship and dating before Joe– never the planner– planned a romantic beach getaway and proposed. On…
