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.

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!

Lucie + Brendan in Sebastopol, CA
Happy Halloween! This post has nothing to do with Halloween, but it is a beautiful wedding that we are excited to share. So, enjoy!
Lucie and Brendan have an amazing story as you may remember when we posted their engagement shoot here. After going to high school together and maintaining a friendship that spanned years and the entire country, Lucie and Brendan fell in love. Well, the Oakland A's and a broken leg may have helped their love along.
The Vine Hill House was the perfect place for them to continue their story and get married. They had a gorgeous summer wedding - the vines were lush, the weather was warm and not too hot, their families and friends gave some of the most amazing toasts including surprising them with a kazoo performance - everything was perfect. Congratulations, Lucie and Brendan!

Alyssa + Drew in Berkeley, CA
Alyssa and Drew really turned on the waterworks during their ceremony at the Brazil Room in Tilden Regional Park. Their crying though was a mix of tears with lots of laughter, and it's always so fun for us to see our couples this much in love. Plus, it's a little fun to tease them about it too. Sorry, Drew.
We've had quite the adventure with Alyssa and Drew as their engagement session will attest. This time around we managed to get them lost among the trees in the Botanical Gardens in the Berkeley hills. We've had so much fun working with these two throughout, and we're sure their marriage will be filled with a ton of fun and hopefully lots of tears of joy. Congratulations, you two!

Jessica + Arpan Engagement
Jessica and Arpan joined us for our most recent engagement session escapade. We started at Stinson Beach with their rowdy pups, Rooty and Pearl for a walk along the surf. Next, we made our way to the hills above Tiburon for some photos at dusk, with a few quick stops at some of the breathtaking turnouts overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I swear, the Northern California coastline is so dramatic with its cliffs and fog - Adm and I just count ourselves lucky that we get to spend our days with sweet couples like Jessica and Arpan photographing along the coast.
Kerri and Kevin Engagement
I don't know about you, but I love going to the river, drinking wine, photographing in great light, and walking along the waterfront. For most people, all these things would make for a packed weekend, but for Kerri and Kevin, it was just their engagement session. We started in Sausalito for some waterfront pictures near Le Garage where they had their first date. Then we got a private look at MacMurray Ranch where we were in photo heaven - the light could not have been more gorgeous, and the grounds and vineyards of the ranch were so beautiful. We were also the only ones there, so we were able to explore to our hearts' content. We finished their session along the river with their dogs Zito and Pogo, who couldn't stay out of the water. Kerri and Kevin are getting hitched in just a few weeks, and we can't wait for their wedding, which I know will be gorgeous and a blast!
