    Patty and David met in graduate school while they were in different programs (he in business school and she in the School of Natural Resources and Environment) but a friend who was doing a dual degree with both schools conveniently introduced them. After a stint with him in Chicago and her New York City, they’ve now…

    Stephanie & Ben | Harley Goat Farm Wedding Anniversary

    Stephanie and Ben were wed exactly one year before this party. They eloped in Hawaii and always meant to throw a little reception for their families afterwards, but the timing just worked out better to wait a year and do it as an anniversary party. Though they’ve been together for thirteen years, this would be…

    Cohen-Bray House, Oakland

    I love having paint dates, which basically entail picking a location, bringing our watercolor kits, and painting for a couple hours. It’s a lovely break from the work day and a nice reminder to set aside time for painting just for fun. I began these with my friend Pamela who’s actually a professional watercolor illustrator,…

    Alyssa & Kevin | San Francisco Engagement Photography

    Alyssa and Kevin actually met the old-fashioned way, just strangers at a bar. They couldn’t stop staring at each other from across the room all night, until one of Alyssa’s friends had to finally walk up to Kevin and ask him if he would stop staring and just talk to her already.
