“It’s a little different from the norm,” they told me, but it was such a unique and meaningful way to celebrate their wedding with their friends and family across the US. Fuko and Robert would be officially wed in San Francisco’s City Hall with their closest family. Then they would continue the celebration in Chicago,…
Periodically, I introduce one of my favorite vendors in the industry– completely unpaid, just out of sheer love of working with them. This month, I am excited to feature Jill Rizzo and Alethea Harampolis of the wonderful floral team, Studio Choo. I first fell in love with their work before even knowing it was theirs,…
Theirs is a love story that spans several seas. They first met while traveling through South Africa and Namibia, Katja visited Anders in Norway, he moved to the Netherlands to be closer to her in Germany, and they then lived together in Norway before moving on to their new home in Vancouver, Canada. And true…
Amy and David might not have known it then, but the day they both attended their mutual friend’s birthday party was the day their lives would become forever intertwined. And not only would Amy and David fall in love and decide to get married, their friend Danny would come along as their officiant. It was…
Bridgette and Ryan first met in Michigan, where they worked together at a communications company. Their first date was at a friend’s show at a music hall in Detroit, and they have been together ever since.

It was so wonderful to spend some time with Alexis and Frank in a city that has been so meaningful to their relationship. These two met in their office– a unique, floating office– as they are both Navy officers and worked together on their first ship out of San Diego. Friendship led to dating, and…
It can be the most beautiful thing and the most difficult thing for us to embrace ourselves as we are. You might never know it looking at this gorgeous young woman, but she recently went through significant changes in her body after being told she was at an unhealthily low weight. Her sister gifted her…
We drove an hour out of the city to this oasis at Mt. Tam for Caterina and John’s engagement session. They both love hiking and triathalon (in their free time from training to be doctors), so the beautiful trails of Mt. Tam hold a special place in their hearts. The light was amazing on this…
It was Sunday evening when I met Amy and David in the rolling hills of the Marin Headlands for their engagement session. The clouds lingered in the sky and flooded the landscape, creating a beautiful air of serenity over the space. We roamed around the bunkers and barracks and got to celebrate love in these…
We were treated to the full gamut of Bay Area weather in the span of Tammy and Justin’s engagement shoot. We met at the beautiful Thomas Fogarty Winery atop a hill in Woodside, and a cloudy session gave way to full sunshine, clouds, simultaneous sun and fog, and finally, complete fog. Tammy’s radiant smile shined…
