Victoria and Vaughn are the sweetest pair, completely at ease with each other. They initially met at work and became fast friends, but it took months of courtship on Vaughn’s part– and moving jobs to another company– before Victoria would date him. (She didn’t want to date someone she worked with.) Once Vaughn asked her to…
Dalen sat in front of Stephanie at a new church they were both visiting one day, and they met during the unusually long ‘meet and greet’ time after the service. Stephanie left the service thinking she’d never see Dalen again…until he walked by her a few blocks from her home. They ended up walking together to Trader…
Maggie and Nick are such a delight to be around. From the beginning of the session, they were full of grins, and we filled an hour with their love and laughter. Add the glow of late afternoon light and the majestic archways at the Palace of Fine Arts, and you have all the ingredients of a beautiful engagement…
As we crossed the western side of San Francisco, we were graced with one of those classic San Francisco afternoons: mist from the ocean blending with the amber light of the sun to create a magical setting. It was perfect for Christine and Yang’s engagement session, as they climbed over and under trees and up and…
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…
Ed and Matt met exactly seventeen years ago, and now they had traveled to California from Ohio to be wed. It was a simple and beautiful little ceremony– just Ed and Matt with Ed’s cousin Jane and her husband Ted officiating. We walked down a short path to a corner of the golf course, just borrowing the…
Together we have a great time and fit very well together, we get up first every other morning to fix the other one breakfast. We agree on small things like what color our couch should be but also on more important matters such as how our future should be and general values. Like peas and…
I first met Shau-Ru and Ed when we filmed their wedding three years ago. It’s since become our tradition to photograph their anniversary portraits each year. This year, we went for a “travel” theme. Shau-Ru and Ed met me in the northwest corner of San Francisco and explored an area new to them. We were…
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…
Stephanie and Ian are one of my awesome wedding couples for 2015. And while they’ll be getting married here in California (at the Berkeley City Club), they actually currently live in Washington, D.C., and they used to live in New York City together. So it was just great luck that we were all in New York City…
Cindy and Joey first met through each of their best friends who had been dating each other for about a year. It didn’t take long before Cindy and Joey were inseparable. Some of their earliest dates were at Delfina and the surrounding area in the Mission District of San Francisco, so we returned to the…
Aakriti and Chris first met when she interviewed him for a job. It was 9 in the morning and only thing Aakriti was interested in was her coffee. But over the next few months, they got to know each other, and after Chris’ constant pursuits, they finally went on a date and never looked back. On a…
