A big thank you to Style Me Pretty for featuring Kelly and Jaime’s City Hall wedding on their new California blog. Go take a peek…If you’re getting married in California, don’t miss out on all the inspiration on their blog geared specifically to you!
Kelly and Jaime got married at San Francisco’s gorgeous City Hall building surrounded by tons of loving and supportive friends and family. It was the first time I had shot at City Hall and I was pleasantly surprised by all the gorgeous detail. Bronze, stain glass, gorgeous ceilings…definitely an ideal backdrop for any photographer. Not to mention I had the honor of shooting the sweetest couple. I absolutely love these two, from the moment we met, I could sense they have something super special. The love they have between them is so sweet and contagious. To see even more of Kelly & Jaime, here’s a link to their engagement session!
Part II of their wedding was a more formal dinner that was so San Francisco chic. There’s something so romantic about this city–I loved how Kelly & Jaime really captured it. Baker & Banker restaurant was a quaint little restaurant in the heart of SF and it was the perfect setting for dinner and drinks. 
Jeff and Kathryn got married at Nestledown in Los Gatos, a gorgeous venue. Kathryn’s dress was her mother’s wedding dress and I thought that was super sweet and really special that she wore it on her wedding day. One of my favorite shots of the whole day was of Kathryn and her mom as she walked her down the isle to meet Jeff. There is so much joy in both their eyes. The fog set in super thick that night too which made for some pretty photos and I just LOVED shooting among the birch trees.
Zoe & Jon’s wedding was one of my favorites that I had the honor of shooting with 
a behind the scenes: me, hasti and asal doing what we love!
Every time I head into San Francisco I get this overwhelming feeling of city life and I dream about what it would be like to live right in the heart of it all. I imagine an apt with gorgeous city sun shining through, exploring the little cafes and shops on the weekend, feeling so small around the giant buildings all around, and soaking all the inspiration that lives in the in between. Meeting Layla and Tom at their apt, picking out some fun outfits to wear, and exploring the city with them was so much fun! They are the the quintessential San Francisco couple, living in the heart of beautiful SF. Layla is super inspired by architecture so finding a spot to photograph was no problem! She had her list of city gems and we drove around and captured their story. They couldn’t have been sweeter and 10 minutes into the day, I felt like I’ve known them forever. Can’t wait for the wedding!
One of my favorite parts about shooting weddings are all the pretty details that add that special spark to the day. I can’t get enough…I’m drawn to all the details and sometimes have to tell myself to stop! Like a great accessory, the details at the wedding can honestly make or break the overall look. Like wearing a plain tank top and jeans and adding an amazing necklace and bracelet to take the whole look from drab to fab. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to the little details in the day because I have a huge love for accessories and believe that style comes in small packages. The same applies to weddings…all the little pieces have to come together to create the full story of the day. The images I share with you here are some I captured from a wedding I shot with Jose Villa in Napa, CA.
