If you saw my birthday party back in January, you might have fallen in love with some of the beautiful dinnerware that I rented from Lindsay’s company, Frances Lane. The She has goblets in every color imaginable, one-of-a-kind platters, and vintage plates and bowls all come together to create the prettiest tablescapes. I met up with Lindsay in…
It’s been five years since I last photographed Kristina and Peter at their beautiful wine country wedding. They are now expecting their first child, a baby girl due in April, and I was delighted to meet up with them again to photograph them as they embark on the next phase of their lives together. We walked…
What’s one to do when she’s dumped by her boyfriend of almost two years just one week after her birthday and two weeks before Valentine’s Day? Well, hanging out at her friend’s adorable pop-up flower shop is not a bad place to start. I don’t have much to say about my breakup or my ex. But…
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…
Katherine and Josh tied the knot as their friends and family looked on. And as they smiled and wiped away tears, an insistent whimper came from the back of the ceremony. There, behind all the rows of chairs, was Scout, their corgi pup who, having been left out of the center of attention, decided it…
From the first moment that Daniel saw Mariko decked out in her wedding finery, he let out a Daaayum girl! with a huge grin on his face. They both checked each other out, excited, happy, and a little bit silly. As we drove from the Claremont Hotel to their wedding venue at Tilden Park, the excitement of…
I absolutely loved Grace and Andy’s unconventional approach to their wedding. Everyone says your wedding day flies by too quickly, said Andy, addressing the crowd. So we decided to drag this out as long as possible. They went for a two-day affair. Day one was an adorable ceremony and outdoor party at the Rengstorff House in Mountain…
This is for anyone who has ever felt not-good-enough; for anyone who has been frustrated by their own impossibly high standards; for anyone who struggles. My friend Talya wrote this little prayer for herself and posted it on Facebook months and months ago, and when I initially saw it, it just seemed so beautiful and–…
The story of how Jen and Mike met would not be complete without all the stories of how Jen and Mike almost but did not meet: their mutual friend Tom could’ve introduced them but decided Jen wasn’t Mike’s type; when Tom threw a party, Jen attended, but Mike skipped it; and when Tom invited Jen to…
Friday night means… charging batteries so I can shoot two weddings this weekend! Ok, not the most exciting thing in the world, but it always used to be such a headache and an eyesore to track down enough outlets for all the chargers. I finally put together this super simple charging station, a.k.a. basket, which not…
