We had the BEST time photographing Elin and Cody and their family and friends. These two were so easygoing, playful, and happy! If their wedding is any indication of what their marriage is going to be like, we know Elin and Cody are in for a good time. Congratulations you two!
Read MoreMarin Headlands Engagement // Daisy + Aaron
We love love love the Marin Headlands. Every time we go there, we discover a new spot - such as the batteries on top of the hill that overlook Rodeo Beach (where the above photo was taken). And luckily, Daisy and Aaron were such troopers trudging up the hill with us to scope out the views. They are getting married in just a few short weeks, and we are really excited for their wedding!
Read MorePiedmont Private Home Wedding // Katie + Nick
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.
Read MoreKara + 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.
Read MoreZona + 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!

Frances + Joe in San Jose, CA
On their very first date at Pinkberry on Santana Row in San Jose, Frances and Joe had no way of knowing that Joe would eventually propose to Frances there, or that they would get married just a couple hundred feet away at the Hotel Valencia and have their wedding portraits taken on the very spot where Joe proposed under a tree in front of the same Pinkberry where they had their first date. Okay that was a long sentence, but I had a lot of serendipity to pack in. Especially because when we met they didn't have a venue, and it was only after going back to their spot that they settled on Hotel Valencia. So, given their history, I fully expect Frances to give birth to their first child under the oak tree in front of Pinkberry on Santana Row. I kid (pun intended), but isn't it crazy how things work out sometimes?
These two had a fun packed wedding starting with a tea ceremony and ending with a full dance floor. They were so sweet to work with and a breeze to photograph! Congratulations, Frances and Joe, and we wish you lots of happiness and lots of Pinkberry!
