Sophia & Terrence | Big Sur Wedding Photography
Sophia is brilliant, talks a mile a minute, remembers everyone she’s ever met, is busy saving the world, and salsa dances in her free time. It’s very difficult to keep up with her, but somehow she’s met her match in Terrence. He’s the doctor to her (former) lawyer, completely social media-less while Sophia is compulsively…

Jessica & Andrew | Danville Wedding Photography
Jessica and Andrew were certain about marrying each other, but they weren’t so sure they wanted a wedding. They thought they might just go to City Hall and get married. But their families convinced them to put together this little backyard celebration instead. And it was indeed still lovely, simple, and filled with their closest…

A Boat Tour & A Train Tour
A boat and a train ride! Two more fun adventures from my Bay Area Gems in June. We kick it off with a free harbor tour of the Port of Oakland. They offer these twice a month in the summer, but you have to jump right on the tickets when they go on sale the…

We…

Solage Wedding with Hawthorn Flower Studio
I have loved documenting Melanie’s beautiful floral designs at her weddings this season. We headed to Solage in Calistoga, where the centerpiece of the reception was this dramatic hanging installation over the dance floor. So cool! And all of the actual centerpieces were also so beautiful, with a gorgeous palette of purples and yellows. Beautiful colors…

Lavender Festival at Araceli Farms
This was such a fun little outing with my friend Tiffany. We heard about a lavender festival up in Dixon and decided to check it out together. This was the first year Araceli Farms has held the festival, so we tried to keep our expectations very low, but tickets were only $8 for the both…
