“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” Caroline & Greg’s wedding was filled with so much personality, telling their story through the little details that symbolized what brought these two together: Dinosaurs and Samba. Even though they were from two parts of the world they had a lot of commonalities…Caroline was born in Brazil and Greg spent time studying abroad in Rio. Caroline worked at the Museum of Natural History in NY and Greg took a class on dinosaurs. As a result of these common threads, their lives intertwined and they were happy to finally say, “i do” (and not just once!) First the traditional ceremony in the gorgeous Botanical Gardens of Berkeley, then a colorful Korean ceremony outside the Faculty Club where, inside, the samba band played some ridiculously good dance music!

Katie and Kevin got married in Chico, at the home where Katie grew up. It was the perfect backyard wedding filled with tons of friends and family who adored both Kevin and Katie so much. Katie and Kevin were drawn together through their love for traveling the world and discovering new places and people. So naturally their wedding followed a travel theme. The decor was filled with vintage postcards and each area in the backyard highlighted a different country they have traveled together. Each guest also wrote them a little love note on one-of-a-kind vintage postcards from the 1920, 30 and 40’s which made for such great keepsakes from their day. Love that idea! It was really special to be a part of their day, from the ceremony at the church to what was shared during the toasts, there were multiple times where I had to air out my eyes and catch a tear or two. You know, there are some couples you meet and you can tell, instantly, that they were just meant for each other? There’s no denying that these two were meant to be!

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 
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
