You couldn't have asked for a more perfect Bay Area day for Katie and Nick's wedding last summer. Everything took place at Nick's parents' home, and the views of the Bay were spectacular all day long, but then, the sun went down, and somehow it became even more breathtaking. Situated above the twinkling lights of Oakland and San Francisco, it was as if Katie and Nick and their guests were in their own dream world, dancing above the city, far away from reality. Actually, these two seemed to be in their own world throughout - even though they have been together since they were 15, they couldn't keep their eyes off one another all night.

Kara + Jeremy Engagement
The only time I fancy myself a writer is when I do these blog posts. Here I am sitting at my desk, spinning tales of weddings and engagements and sharing all the fun we have with our couples in just a few sentences. Kara is actually a writer, and when she sits down to write, she is not pretending. The first time I met her (back in 2008), I had the chance to listen to her read one of her stories, and let's just say, I think I'll stick with photography.

Tracey + Jone in San Francisco, CA
Whenever you arrive to photograph a wedding and are greeted with fresh waffles and lingonberry jam, you know you're in for a treat. That's exactly what happened when we showed up for Tracey and Jone's wedding at the Norwegian Seaman's Church in San Francisco. It was the kind of thoughtful touch that perfectly set the stage for the rest of Tracey and Jone's intimate ceremony. Their wedding joined Jone's Norwegian family with Tracy's Texan family in their new home of the Bay Area. It was a lot of fun sharing the day with these two families, and we especially enjoyed being in a different church with traditions that were new to us.
Read MoreMichele + Devin in Livermore, CA
Michele and Devin's story begins with a simple disagreement between Devin's best friend Brian and Michele's little sister Tania. Because she was one of Brian's students, Tania had to listen to him talk everyday about how his friend, Devin, was the best person ever. But Tania knew from experience that her sister, Michele, was the best person ever. Seeing that it was their duty to settle the argument, Brian and Tania set up Michele and Devin on a date. And since we had the honor to photograph Michele and Devin's wedding, I guess they've now earned the title of "best couple ever."
These two were married in September in Livermore and then partied the night away in San Ramon. Normally, the best weather in the Bay Area is during September, it's the height of our summer. But on their day, it poured. Michele and Devin handled the rain like champs, and by the ceremony's end, the sun was out and shining. We loved photographing Michele and Devin not only because they were super sweet and easy to be around, but they also included their pup Moose for a number of photos. Congratulations you two!

Zona + Eric in San Francisco, CA
If I had to choose one place in Golden Gate Park that feels as if you've stepped into a magical story book garden it would be the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. Add a room full of butterflies emerging daily from their cocoons and I think the magic might even be doubled. What that all comes down to is it's a truly amazing and gorgeous space to explore, make pictures, and celebrate a wedding. Especially Zona and Eric's wedding. These two were so easy to be around, it's as if we had been friends for a very long time. I always think the personalities of the couple sets the vibe for the wedding, and Zona and Eric, who were super relaxed and conscientious of their guests, set a great mood for their wedding. Photographing their celebration was such a treat for us! Thanks so much for having us and we wish you so much laughter and love!

Loni + Steph in San Francisco, CA
So, there's this Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial with a talking head explaining about his lost toof, and it's hilarious. I mean, it just cracks me up every. single. time. And this brings me to how I know Loni and Steph. You see, we played on a slow pitch softball team together (go Smoke!), and someone may have lost a front tooth. Anyhow, from meeting with Loni and Steph to photographing their wedding, every moment has been full of belly laughs. With so much laughter, we know these two are bound for a stupendous marriage!
