Now these bridesmaids know how to throw a modern San Francisco shower! Angie’s bridesmaids put together a super cute, modern bridal shower. I loved all the greys, pinks and whites. So much DIY decor, flowers from SF Flower Mart, white milk glass vases, bud vases that held the menu cards, custom printed chopsticks, game cards, and such yummy food from hello, good bite. .
Caterer: hello, good bite. // Floral Design: SF Flower Mart // Vases: Ebay // Cupcakes: Love At First Bite
This shoot makes me smile from ear to ear. I have been dying to share this and now I finally get to! Check out the feature on The Wedding Chicks for even more photos from the shoot! Mandela and Tim are such a cute couple and everything about this shoot, really captures their sweet personalities. We got a chance to collaborate with the amazingness that is Enjoy Events Co. We have been SO excited to finally work together and this was the perfect meet up. We brainstormed and incorporated Mandela and Timmy’s young, fun, urban style and wanted to bring it to life. We set the tone around the idea of Navajo prints mixed with the outdoors. Megan and Emily gathered some antique vessels, Navajo patterned pillows, hung a sheer backdrop, created a wildflower bouquet with a few vintage boxes to tie the look together. And this location could not have been more perfect! Lush rolling hills, crystal blue glistening water and oyster shells all over the floor added such a unique element to the shoot. I especially loved all the old shipwrecked buildings– can’t go wrong with that. I can’t wait for next weekend when we will all meet again for the wedding!
Ok I am so excited not only to share these photos but to have you meet two of the most fun loving and just pretty cool people ever, Hannah and Josh. Sometimes you meet people who you click with and these two are totally those people. We share alot in common from art to just being lovers of creativity and sold out members of the creative industry. Hannah and Josh met at Dreamworks, where they both work…and actually worked on the movie, Megamind together. How cute is that? I can definitely relate to falling in love with someone who shares the same passions and can motivate and challenge you creatively. From teepees to chickens…this session will definitely remain as one of my faves to date! So excited to shoot their wedding this summer!
Caroline and Greg are getting married in a couple months and I can’t wait for their wedding! We had quite the adventure walking the rolling hills of Tiburon and finding some really special spots that mean alot to the two of them. Could we be any more blessed living in the bay area? The locations alone are breathtaking not to mention the amazing company I get to share them with. 
A big thank you to SMP California for featuring Layla and Tom’s San Francisco Wedding! I wasn’t the only one who fell in love with those flowers! Check out the post to read more about the wedding from Layla’s perspective and to see even more photos.
This photo captures so much and means the world to me. My dad has been my rock and the best source of support, unconditional love and true leadership. He’s taught me how to lead, how to be a woman of character and integrity and continues to challenge me and support me in every creative endeavor I choose to jump into. I admire him so much not only as a father but as a man who has shown me what true success and Love is. He’s man who loves and serves God with all of his heart and soul- a true example of a husband, father and leader to so many. I am honored and so so blessed to be his daughter. Happy Father’s day baba…if I don’t tell you enough, I love you!

Fridays always brings a smile on my face. Everything seems to be more special on Fridays. Maybe because as a child I always looked forward to TGIF on friday nights (step by step…anyone??) and now, it marks the beginning of a weekend that, for me, is filled with photographing some amazing projects and even more amazing people. I feel so blessed to do what I get to do! So before I head into what marks the start of a very busy week ahead…here are a few fun frames from our recent trip out to LA…you can’t go to LA without having a *little* fun, right?! 
A big thank you to Style Me Pretty for featuring Kathryn and Jeff’s Nestledown Wedding today! To see more from their wedding be sure to check out the Style Me Pretty Post or my blog post for even more woodsy details of the Los Gatos wedding.
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and a sixpence in her shoe! This was the theme that wrapped Layla and Tom’s San Francisco Wedding. Her grandmother’s ring, her new silk wedding dress, borrowed pearl earrings and the blue wedding cake– subtle details that made the day even more special. Everything about this wedding was done with class. The gorgeous church with its traditional flair, Layla’s lace cover up, the Rolls Royce, the flowers, and the backdrop of San Francisco — all came together so beautifully. It doesn’t take long to notice that Layla has a special spark about her, the joy she feels and the genuine heart that she has comes through instantly in her smile– you could see how happy she was to be marrying Tom. After all was said and done, Arash and I drove away convinced we just shared a night with one of the sweetest, gracious and genuine couples ever. Have I mentioned how much I love what I do?
