Just a day in the life with Leann and Michael — hanging out at home in the adorable Willow Glen neighborhood, taking a walk to downtown where they had their first date and many after, playing a little basketball which they both love and riding bikes through their favorite neighborhoods, spotting their ideal home — such a fun day! These two were made for each other — the sweetest love you’ll ever see.
Sarah & Joshua // The Old Homestead, Crockett
Two artistic souls, passionately in love and full of life. The love Sarah and Joshua have for each other is evident, and the passion for adventure is contagious. They are an inspiration with such spontaneous perspective on life and love. Their backyard wedding was set at the Old Homestead, where they celebrated with a small intimate group of great friends and family. Exploring the rolling hills, venturing into the woods and dancing under lights, it was such a beautiful day to say the least. As their day came to a close, they packed up their bags and met their next great adventure: a big move to hawaii for what promises to be an epic start to a sweet sweet love story.

Kasia and Patryk held one of the most entertaining and life filled weddings. If you remember their engagement session, their love story began as a long distance one, and the wedding brought family together from all over. Tons of family, tons of dancing, lots of love and so much joy! Its so interesting to document and take part of a wedding filled with so much culture. Its pretty amazing to see — they are so blessed to have so much love around them. The backdrop for the day could not have been more perfect either, and all the little elements from florals to the wooden table numbers and centerpieces were drool worthy. Kasia did a beautiful job bringing her vision to life and they partied all night long. 
Aubrey & Matthew // Holman Ranch, Carmel Wedding Photographer
It was so great to see Aubrey and Matthew again, after their engagement session last year, I was super excited to shoot their wedding in gorgeous Carmel Valley. Once again, teaming up with the ever so talented, Simone from Soiree By Simone Lennon, all the pieces came together to bring Aubrey and Matthew’s ranch wedding to life. It felt like a scene out of a classic film, like a subtle nod to the Great Gatsby. Such simplicity mixed with an enormous amount of charm and character — it was such a special wedding to say the least. Matthew’s great big smile as he would gaze at Aubrey throughout the day, spoke volumes about the love and genuine adoration that was overflowing. The two as a pair are so sweet, best friends in love, celebrating with some of their nearest and dearest.

Lindsay & Russell // Napa Wedding Photographer
Lindsay and Russell tied the knot in napa wine country surrounded by gorgeous greenery and terra cotta hues. It was a warm summer night with beautiful light and sophisticated flair. Lindsay is a stunning girl with such elegance and charm. Russell is so sweet and genuine and his love for Lindsay is undeniable. Ah, the beauty of true simplicity.

Kasia & Patryk Engaged // San Carlos Airport
A big thank you to Brooklyn Bride for featuring Kasia & Patryk’s engagement session today! I always love shooting engagement sessions and this one in particular was unique not only because of the rad location but the story that brought it to life. They met a few years ago while Kasia was living in Arizona and Patryk in Northern California. They hit it off instantly, kicking off their love story and mutual appreciation for the airports that helped nurture their long distance relationship. Patryk also has a love for flying, and he may or may not have channeled a little TopGun for some inspiration! I loved getting to explore the airplane hangars and runways, how great was the sun that day?? Loved it all. They are getting married in an old airplane hangar this June too, so fitting! Can’t wait.
Erin & Tom Engaged // Crissy Field
In typical San Francisco fashion, the fog rolled in and although it was one of the coldest weekends we’ve had in a while, Erin and Tom’s energy warmed up the shoot just fine. I love when I get to work with couples who are just so enamored with each other. Erin and Tom are just so in love, making it super easy to document and tell their story. We shot at Crissy Field, with the Golden Gate as our backdrop — add a little fog, and you get some pretty magical hues.
Mike & Vivian // San Francisco Wedding Photographer
Mike and Vivian. Oh where do I start? Since we met back in the summer of 2011, we’ve become good friends, swapped travel stories over sushi and every time we hang out, we find yet another crazy thing in common. Its almost unreal how similar we are and just completely gratifying to know that I get to work with people like Mike and Vivian. Both super talented graphic designers, in love with mid-century modern design, appreciate great food and love to travel just as much as we do…not to mention we live down the street from each other!? Crazy. Their SF City Hall wedding was fitting – simple yet completely classic. I especially love the photo below because it sums up the dynamic of their relationship in one photograph. Vivian keeps it cool and Mike keeps things ridiculously interesting and spontaneous. For their reception, Local Kitchen and Wine Merchant was the perfect backdrop to end the night with its modern setting, and delicious food!

Matthew and Aubrey couldn’t be sweeter. I am so blessed to know them and to get the opportunity to shoot their wedding later this year, too. We had such a great time together and if you’re wondering the back story behind the “love sick” theme? Matthew and Aubrey are medical students at Loma Linda University in Southern California. It was there that Matthew first saw Aubrey, and outside the Anatomy lab was where they finally had their first introduction, where it all began. And according to Matt…when he first laid eyes on her, it was love at first sight.
