Thank you Style Me Pretty for featuring Naomi and Vic’s engagement session — you flatter me! To see even more from their session make sure to check out their blog post here. This shoot was such a fun one and these two couldn’t be sweeter so I’m so thrilled that they are featured and their story is shared with the wedding world.
So thrilled to see some 2012 work published in the current issue of Modern Luxury Brides Magazine! I teamed up with Floral Theory to dream up a unique interpretation of the modern bouquet for a feature on wedding florals. And also, a special bonus…one of Sarah & Joshua’s photos was published in the real weddings section too. Always so fun to see my work in print, although I love the web so much…print is just something else.
Derek & Esther came traveled from out of state to elope in the great bay area. It was such a special day and such an honor to not only photograph their intimate ceremony but to also be their official witness. After City Hall, we ventured out to the beach just in time for the sun to set on their epic day.
Its a great way to start your morning when you see your name on MSNBC! Thanks to TODAY for the photo credit! Randi Zuckerberg was so great to work with, always fun doing some promo shots from time to time. Check out the article here.

A big thank you to Ruffled blog for featuring Erin & Tom’s wedding today! Check out their feature post for even more photos and info about the wedding. It was such an elegant affair, set in the courtyard of the infamous Fairmont Hotel in SF and overlooking the most clear blue skies the city had seen in a while. We worked with an amazing team of vendors led by the talented Jacin of Lovely Little Details. Check out all the fun sequence details — and those florals? Loved.

I am humbled and honored to be featured in Pacific Weddings – I love the magazine! Hanniel and Chris’ Maui Wedding is featured in the current Winter/Spring 2013 issue. A wedding wrapped in so much love, I promise their story will inspire you. You can read all about it in the magazine and see more of their photos on my blog here. Nothing makes me happier than seeing one of my sweet couples grace the pages of a magazine. Being the huge print lover that I am, its always so special for me to see my work published in something tangible. I feel so blessed to photograph and tell stories artistically, its such a dream.
Their wedding was styled and coordinated by none other than Rebekah & Alex of A&B Creative, the genius creative team behind Hanniel & Chris’ engagement session styling as well. Their engagement story has also been published on 100 Layer Cake, read even more about their love story here.
Chalk Hill Winery is one of those magical venues with all the right elements for a perfect wedding. Giant sunsets, woodsy pathways and tons of wood grain textures to satisfy my creative pallette. I love shooting outdoors and this wedding made it easy. Kathy and David are two of the sweetest people you will meet — had to share just a few of my favorite frames. 
2013 is shaping up to be an incredible year already…I can’t wait to blog the weddings and shoots I’m working on and finally reveal a new business venture Arash and I have been cooking up. As I sit at my computer and sift through all these images, I’m overwhelmed at times but most of the time I have to pinch myself because I can’t believe I am living my dream. Like most, I’m a big list maker and every year I make my list of things I want to accomplish, life goals, and some of those out-of-the-box-insane goals that are too big to imagine. Recently, I got word that one of those (insanely amazing) goals will be coming to pass this year and I can’t wait to share it! I’m so thankful and humbled to get to photograph, travel and make friends along this journey. Cheers to our year ahead, friends! Go dream…
Happy New year! Another new season has begun! It was really nice to spend some holiday down time with family and see some friends from out of town. The holidays are always a great time to reflect on the year. Something Arash and I love to do every new years eve is sit down and write out our goals for the upcoming year and chat over the year’s biggest accomplishments and weaknesses from the years past. I feel so blessed to have an amazing partner in Arash, someone who not only supports me in every creative endeavor but challenges me creatively and dares me to dream even bigger. This year we are so excited for whats to come…we’ll be launching a brand new business in addition to our photography, something we’ve been cooking up for the last year! We’ll also be introduced to our baby girl in April which will be a huge blessing we can’t wait for. What are you looking forward to in 2013? We can’t wait to share our journey here…cheers to 2013!
