I am so excited that Wedding Nouveau has chosen to feature my work again! I just recently had Nami & Jeffrey’s wedding featured in their magazine, and now Ragini & Brandon’s wedding is featured on their blog. Wedding Nouveau is a wonderful site that focuses on multicultural weddings. I am so impressed by the care…
I am so incredibly honored to be published in the fall issue of Wedding Nouveau magazine. This is the first time my work has been featured in a print publication! I’ve said it before, but there is just something very special about being able to see my photographs on paper and hold them in my…
It was a beautifully warm day on 9.10.11, perhaps the most popular wedding date of the year. Kathleen got ready in her hotel room in South San Francisco, and then she hopped into the gorgeous 1946 Rolls Royce Bentley to join her husband-to-be at the church in San Francisco. A perfect way to start the…
It’s true, as Andy joked– it’s equally inconvenient for everyone. Even from the nearest airport we drove past several vineyards, the occasional corn field, and plenty of woods– until we reached the giant lake and the little town. Chautauqua. It may be far, but it is truly a sanctuary, with its tightly clustered houses referencing…
Their love stretches back in time and reaches gently into the future. There is never a sense of hurry. Rather, a feeling of space and suspension as they linger in every moment. Magali and Sam are both incredibly kind, warm, and thoughtful, and together they are simply wonderful. We were so honored to be there…
Are you ready to get married? Most people joke or laugh or have a slight look of disbelief when you ask them this question. But he responded simply with a smile, I’m ready. Not a single ounce of stress, anxiety, or hesitation. Despite their very different backgrounds, Karly and Mario are kindred spirits who have found…
It was a very chilly day, which is actually typical of our San Francisco summers by the coast. The skies were overcast, and the water a serene pale blue-green. But against the wash of the ocean were bright exclamations of color: a red carpet; the bold blue bridesmaid’s dresses; a radiant bride; and a bubbling…
I can still remember her as my quiet, smart, cool little camper when I, fresh out of middle school, served my first year as a counselor-in-training at our annual summer camp. Some things haven’t changed at all since those days– Mayline’s radiant smile and her generosity amongst them– but it’s been quite the privilege to see her…
The wedding was set in a verdant oasis hidden away in a corner of Oakley, California– the beautiful Brownstone Gardens. Mega was all smiles and tears as she walked down the aisle with her brother on one arm and her mother on the other. The entire wedding was planned and coordinated to perfection by the…
It all started with a bit of silly bickering over what should have been a very easy fact for two Harvard grads to agree upon. For some bizarre reason, Silvia had herself convinced that she was 21 despite the fact that, as James mathematically proved on a napkin, she was really 22. Yes, she conceded…
You might never guess that their paths would cross. She, the little girl from Japan with a sweetness and sincerity about her and a knack for helping others and he, the little boy from Rwanda with a huge heart and a profound passion for community. Namiko grew up and found herself doing an internship at…
It was extreme croquet and homemade soap that joined them together. But mostly the soap. He had you at the transesterification reaction! Long story short, they were inside having tea after a game of extreme croquet (crazy wicket placement!) when the fact that Ryan’s family makes their own soap came up in conversation. This otherwise…
