It is always an honor to be a part of a friend’s wedding, and this one was extra special, as I got to return to my home state of Ohio and photograph Karen, whom I’ve known for over a decade. Karen and Sam are cute and hilarious together. Their relationship is perhaps best exemplified by…
A lovely story, as told by our couple themselves: Once upon a time, there was a cute little hot dog stand in the lovely college town of Berkeley, CA that went by the name of Top Dog where our couple had their very first date. They shared a few laughs and maybe a napkin (or…
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…
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…
After the Catholic church ceremony in the afternoon, the stage was set for Mairin and Nikhil’s Hindu ceremony by the ocean. The mandap was adorned with colorful flowers and gorgeous silks that billowed gracefully in the wind. Traditional Indian music played softly in the background, evoking another time and place. From the moment Mairin walked down the…
I am so excited to share this beautiful Indian wedding extravaganza with you all. It was our incredible honor to document both photo and video for Mairin and Nikhil and to see all these beautiful parts of Rhode Island too. Because Mairin’s family is Catholic while Nikhil’s is Hindu, they celebrated both with two different…
Anyone who plans for an outdoor wedding is apt to keep an eye on the storm clouds, but on the morning of Susan and Peter’s wedding, as the rain was still sprinkling down, they simply ran through two ceremony scenarios– indoor and outdoor– and did it all with a smile on their faces, not wasting…
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…
Akane is one of the most amazing brides I’ve ever worked with, because she has become one of my greatest advocates and has gone above and beyond to include me in her wedding day. Even before she had a venue, she knew that I would be the photographer. There was just one little catch– she…
Here is a roundup of some of my favorite moments from this year’s weddings. While there are a few portraits and details sprinkled in, the vast majority of these images are photojournalistic captures that I caught on the fly. There were a lot of laughs in 2012, a few tears, and so much love. Thank…
5000 miles could not keep them apart. While they grew up in two very different places– Gemma in Ireland and Kevin in California– fate brought them together in the beautiful city of San Francisco. They met for a drink which turned into dinner and then one unbelievable adventure after another. A year and a day…
