Autumn in Acadia is simply stunning. Much like my time in Yosemite, we had persistent fog and rain hanging over us. And yet, it was still so beautiful. Fog and foliage make a great match after all. Sunrise from Cadillac Mountain… the first spot to see sunrise in the United States. We apparently visited China…
Beautiful foliage, delicious lobsters, cute towns, and we even happened upon an alpaca farm. Ahh, it must be fall in Maine. Maine has been beckoning me for a few years now, and Justin and I finally got to make our way up the coast this October. I headed over to the East Coast as soon as I…
I stood on the side of the road, the mist rolling gently through the mountains before me. Calmness. Gratitude. I had never been so glad to see a rainy day. Normally people are disappointed when rain pervades their Yosemite trip. You might normally hope for sunny skies or a classic golden hour and a beautiful sunset. But I’ve seen…
Life has been pretty great this fall, photographing beautiful weddings and hanging out with friends and fellow creatives in my free time here in the Bay. Here are some scenes from around town, August through October, 2016. Wine and cheese with Kayla at Bay Grape in Oakland. A work party with Fiber Florist Vivian and…
The forecasts were ominous. Though they fluctuated by the hour, they all agreed: it would rain every day this weekend. And while the bride and groom were upbeat and ready to roll with the rain plan, they certainly didn’t choose Yosemite hoping to get married indoors. Rachel’s late father had lovingly run a summer camp for decades, and so…
I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth… I met Maxine and Justin on a chilly (yet deceptively sunny) day in San Francisco for their engagement session at Sutro Baths. I absolutely loved photographing her bright red gown against the beautiful landscape. See some of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait…
It had been sunny all weekend, but the fog rolled in just as we started our session, and the Golden Gate Bridge was nowhere to be seen. Sarah and Nathan didn’t even care. True San Franciscans, they chalked it up to normal conditions, and we carried on with our foggy, moody, absolutely beautiful engagement session….
Laura grew up in Los Angeles; Steve grew up in New York; and they both landed in San Francisco, where they met, fell in love, and pledged to stay together forever. Day to day, she might be busy saving lives as a doctor while he is working his serious office job in tech, but put them together, and you’ll start to see their silly…
When Elizabeth and Derek met at a college party, they hit it off immediately. She loves rugby. He plays rugby. He is a total film nerd. She was a film major. They also discovered a shared love of books, Berkeley, history, and architecture. So when it came time to be wed, there was no more perfect spot…
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m now taking bookings for Holiday Card Mini-Sessions on November 13. Whether you’d like some family portraits, a mini engagement session, or a shoot with Fido, now is the perfect time to gather your loved ones together for some fun holiday photos with custom greeting cards designed by Brown Fox Calligraphy. We have only…
I met up with Caila Quinn on a Thursday and showed her a couple of my favorite spots in San Francisco. We talked about family, love, how she ended up on The Bachelor, her plans for the future, and her hair secrets (just kidding; she didn’t tell me anything, but I can vouch for its…
Blog followers might recognize Bethany and Bryan from their super sweet proposal by the Golden Gate Bridge back in April. In the few months that have passed, Bethany has moved from Kentucky to join Bryan in San Francisco, ending years of long distance, and they’ve both settled in to their new lives together. I was thrilled to get…
