What an incredibly special wedding for a very special couple. All of the details were perfectly personal to them, including vintage birding table cards to reflect their love of birding, and the overall “1920s Paris” theme to reflect their year in Paris together and their love of all things historical. But the absolute best part…
Absolutely everything about Emma and Phil’s wedding was charming. The venue was a culinary institute in the heart of wine country. The colors and all of the flowers were beautiful. And most of all, the bride and groom were so obviously in love and kept tearing up throughout the day. I am so glad to…
It started with a fall when Deirdre and Damian first met. A hard fall. It’s best when Damian tells the story: Deirdre was interviewing for a developer position at a new company, dressed in heels and very long dress pants. Her heels got into a fight with her pants and she fell (face first) in…
I just love how happy Caterina and John are when they’re together. They are giddy with excitement and absolutely unstoppable. They first met in a dining hall, freshman year at Harvard, and they quickly became friends. Senior year, friendship turned to courtship, and soon after, they both got into their top choice medical school, UC…
Agnes and Z traveled all the way from Singapore and met me in California’s wine country for this super sweet engagement shoot. They met when they ended up in the same lab, Agnes as an undergraduate and Z as a research assistant. At first, they gave each other no thought, but over time, they slowly…
It was such an amazing experience to be part of this special proposal. Alex and Jessica first met at TAF, a summer camp that many of us have attended since we were kids, and they have been together almost ten years now. Because many of our TAF friends were going to Napa for The French…
“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,…
At the end of April, I drove down the California coast with my mom, as she was headed to San Diego for a conference while I was headed there to shoot Caity and Nate’s wedding in La Jolla. Some of you might remember my Cali Coasting road trip last year, in which I also drove…
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…

Their first date was at a friend’s show at a music hall in Detroit, and they have been together ever since. After several years living in Michigan, they decided to move to California, and San Francisco was the lucky city…
