A few months ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Michele Janezic of Mill Mercantile, in San Francisco. You can check out more photos and read her interview on RUE Daily. If you find yourself in the city, be sure to check out Mill. Super cute stuff! I bought a handmade doll for the baby and I am in love with it! They have such unique little things.

Joe and Victoria’s wedding story is featured on Style Me Pretty today which is super exciting! I absolutely love photographing intimate weddings especially weddings with a backdrop like the Fairmont SF Penthouse. You can read more about Victoria’s inspiration here but I can safely say working with these two was a dream. Vicotria is a blogger, check out her daily inspiration on vmac+cheese — so fun! We instantly hit it off, from fashion to photography, I love it when my clients bring their sense of style and unique flair to their weddings and their personalities shine through. This wedding was full of unique elements, a high class cocktail party in the heart of the city. And working with an incredible team of vendors like Natalie Bowen and Amy Kaneko…double win!

Justin & Christina // Half Moon Bay Engagement
Getting to hang out with Justin, Christina and their little pup was an ideal afternoon! We explored the forests along side the beach in Half Moon Bay — it was a stunning day. We really are spoiled here in Cali, I can’t get enough of all the gorgeous landscapes and the best part is getting to discover them from behind the lens and with people like Justin and Christina.

Featured! Style Me Pretty // Lily & Blake, Carmel Wedding Photographer, Holman Ranch
I am so so happy to finally get to share Lily and Blake’s Holman Ranch wedding! Thank you Style Me Pretty for featuring this collaborative beauty of a wedding. Lily and Blake’s hope was to reflect their love for travel, French culture, great food and their love for California. Although they are Texas natives now, they have fond memories of Carmel and the gorgeous landscapes of California so it was only fitting to host their French inspired, rustic wedding at Holman Ranch. Simone Lennon designed a super elegant event…and it was most definitely eye candy for us to photograph. From the bistro style candle light dinner to the romantic florals and seamless event, she’s a genius at what she does. I’m so thrilled to share their story with the Style Me Pretty world and hope their wedding inspires many more.

Aaron & Ann // San Francisco Engagement Photographer
Aaron and Ann contacted me from Canada in hopes of documenting their solo road trip to California. They both love the city and wanted to spend some time together exploring the coast of California in honor of their elopement. I absolutely loved hanging out with them for a couple days — it was so special to be part of their story and to document both their engagement and private wedding. They love each other so passionately which made their romantic elopement that much more special. Here are just a few from their engagement shoot….

Featured! Martha Stewart Weddings // Shades of Pink: Enjoy Events Co.’s Decor Ideas
I absolutely love working with Megan and Emily of Enjoy Events because not only are they super creative wedding geniuses but they are beyond sweet and so much fun. We got to play with tons of florals for a little Martha Stewart feature in honor of Valentines Day.
Dan & Whitney // Mt Tamalpais Wedding
Winter weddings can be enchanted…this was definitely one. The great outdoors at its best. I absolutely love shooting up in the Marin Headlands, its one of the most inspiring places for me to explore. Whitney and Dan tied the knot in an intimate ceremony with a few family and friends and it was a magical day.
In The Light // Taylor Sterling of Glitter Guide
This month’s In The Light post features no stranger to the blogging world: Taylor Sterling of Glitter Guide. I’ve had such a great time getting to know Taylor and hearing her story and inspiration behind her infamous Glitter Guide blog that I thought she’d be perfect to highlight in this month’s In The Light feature. Hope you enjoy the wisdom she has to share!
A FEW QUESTIONS FOR TAYLOR
1. What inspired you to start Glitter Guide?
I wanted to have a space where I could share things that I felt women would be inspired by. I also felt that there was a gap in the market for a daily website and newsletter with a feminine/girlie angel.
2. What does a typical day in the life of Taylor Sterling look like?
It’s all over the place. No day is alike. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer answering emails and updating social media. I spend time talking to my sales team, editorial director, graphic designers, and interns. The best days are the ones when I get to go out and help on a photo shoot. I love seeing ideas come to life.
3. What advice do you have for other girls that dream of doing what you’re doing someday?
I have 5 pieces of advice:
1. Start with a personal blog before you launch a large scale website. I had been blogging for over 2 years when I started to plan for Glitter Guide. I knew a lot about the industry, had practiced social media, attended conferences, etc. All of this helped prep me for doing something bigger. I still struggle with things I don’t know about or how to do, but I know I am more prepared than I would be fresh and new.
2. Network. This one is huge. Make sure to connect with as many people as you can. You never know who or how they may influence you and/or your business down the road. Glitter Guide would be nothing without the help from people I networked with.
3. Take a business class. I studied communication in college, and I’ve always been more of a creative type. I wish I had taken a few more business classes in college. I’m learning a lot on my own, but feel that I would have benefited from some coursework. I also think networking with people who have small business is important. You can ask them how they do things and learn a ton from them.
4. Learn to accept criticism. If you want to launch a large scale website and you want it to be popular you have to learn to accept criticism. Any time you put yourself out there people are going to try to find a way to pull you apart. Just take it as part of the business and don’t let it get to you.
5. Always search for inspiration. I’m always on the hunt for things I think are awesome. That’s my job. I read books, magazines, blogs, watch movies, tv, Youtube, go to galleries, etc. I think you need to be a sponge and soak everything in. You never know what will inspire you.
A big thank you to Taylor for being, In The Light!
