Erin + John in Woodside, CA

_MG_3642 Preston Davis brought me along to Erin and John's wedding a couple of weeks ago.  They started their day at the gorgeous Rosewood Sand Hill resort in Menlo Park where Erin and her girls leisurely primped while John and his guys hung out poolside.  They were married at the Family Farm, a private estate in Woodside that lies nestled amidst gorgeous redwoods.  With the sun streaming through the redwoods and surrounded by the creaking of the old trees, Erin and John's ceremony could not have been more idyllic.

Check out Preston's photos here.

Ashley + Adam in San Francisco, CA

ABAB_Wed_164We had a BLAST photographing Ashley and Adam's wedding!  These two were so easygoing and fun to be around, and not to mention completely photogenic (obviously!).  We had a super fun portrait session at some of their favorite spots in San Francisco including their neighborhood park, the best rice pudding shop (Loving Cup in Russian Hill), and the roof of their apartment building.  Their ceremony was at the beautiful Grace Cathedral followed by a gorgeous and sparkly reception in the Spanish Suite of the Clift Hotel.  We can't say enough good things about working with this awesome couple so we'll let the photos do the talking.  Here are some details about the day, which flowed seamlessly thanks to wedding coordinator Chelsea Bowman, who was a joy to work with!

Emily + Craig in San Francisco, CA

Emily_Craig_123Emily and Craig were married at the San Francisco Film Centre in the Presidio on a beautiful, albeit windy, day.  I always love photographing veils, and I especially love it when the wind naturally makes them fly.  Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the two exchanged written vows to one another in a beautiful Jewish ceremony.  Many many congratulations to these newlyweds!

Donna + Robin in San Francisco, CA

_MG_0758oldI photographed Donna and Robin's wedding at the San Francisco Limn Gallery with fellow wedding photographer Preston Davis, who's awesome.  We started their relaxed Sunday affair with some early morning portraits along the Embarcadero before heading to the gallery for the ceremony followed by a lovely luncheon.  Donna got uber-creative as she made many of the details including the cake-topper and invitations!

Masako + Ken in Rosemead, CA

MK_wed_028

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Masako and Ken's wedding reception in southern California.  The two have been married since the beginning of the year so they didn't have a ceremony, but they wanted to do some portraits and celebrate their marriage with a fun reception amidst all their family and friends.  We had a fun portrait session at the San Gabriel Missions, and followed with a super fun reception that included funky and crazy games.
