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…

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…

As soon as the game started, she pegged him in the chest with the dodgeball. It was the first night of the season for their trampoline dodgeball league (yes, really!), and Stefanie, with her competitive streak shining brightly, had already scouted their opposing team and identified Andrew as a worthy opponent. He wasn’t just struck by the ball. He was…

Mayline & Kenneth | Sutro Baths | San Francisco Anniversary Photography

It’s hard to believe it’s already been five years since Mayline and Kenneth were wed in Virginia. It’s been wonderful to keep in touch over the years; Mayline has since started her own wedding photography business, and Kenneth is an incredible web developer who has rescued me out of many a wordpress pickle. Since they were both…

Pauline and Justin were wed on a beautifully sunny day in San Francisco, surrounded by family and friends. The day was an absolutely perfect blend of tears (25%) and laughter (75%), as this East Coast transplant and San Francisco native tied the knot. Loved the pink and coral mix-and-match bridesmaids’ dresses. They coordinated so perfectly! And…

I absolutely love photographing surprise proposals! This one was so simple and sweet, filled with last-minute improvisation from our Florida couple and the most gratifying expressions of surprise and excitement from Luciana. I’ll let her tell the full story below! From Luciana: “Scott and I met one year ago in Miami. I had been running around…
