Julie and Jeremy’s proposal story, as told by them: Jeremy proposed to Julie exactly on their three year anniversary in front of the Golden Gate Bridge (this is where they first asked each other out!). Julie sleeps in on weekends, so Jeremy woke up early and frantically checked the weather all morning on public webcams…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. It has been such a fun journey to photograph this Pointe of View series. I have put together the entire book and it is almost ready for print. Sadly, there were so many photographs that I just absolutely loved, and there were just…
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…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. Greetings from Boston! I have been bouncing back and forth from East Coast to West Coast these couple weeks. Last week, I was in North Carolina photographing a Chapel Hill wedding on a farm. This week, I photographed a wedding in Rhode Island….
She chose to do this boudoir session just because. Not one to ever wear makeup or curl her hair, she made the exception for this day and stepped into this reality for just a moment. The result was stunningly gorgeous. We’ve chosen a select few to share below: Makeup: Julianne, PRETTYBYJULIANNE Venue: Berkeley City Club…
“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,…
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series.
