It is always a joy to see my work in the pages of a print magazine, especially one as beautifully curated as Utterly Engaged. I felt so honored and lucky to document such a memorable day for Danielle and Caleb. Their wedding (more to come soon!) was a dream to be a part of mainly because the love that poured out of this couple was truly infectious. To this day, its one my all time favorite weddings. If you haven’t picked up a copy of Utterly Engaged, you’re missing out. The pages in this magazine are truly a work of art, especially if you’re a print obsessed collector like me.

So thrilled to see Naomi & Vic’s wedding on Style Me Pretty today! They have such an effortless style and such sweet souls…I’m so glad their story was shared with so many. Their engagement session was also featured on last year and it truly was near and dear to my heart. Hope you get a chance to check out their wedding. I will share my personal favorites on the blog on Monday!

Oh I am so happy to finally get to share this wedding! I am so so thrilled to see it featured on the cover of the November issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine too! Can we say dream come true? Yes. It truly is such a sweet reward on top of being a part of Anna & Tim’s day, to see it grace the pages of the ultimate wedding mag. To say this wedding is near and dear to my heart is an understatement and I have been anxious to share it. It was a gorgeous day from beginning to end — with a team of incredibly talented vendors who came together to create a memorable day. Anna and Tim, although from the East Coast, chose Costanoa as their wedding destination and family from near and far gathered together for a weekend full of celebration. We had the best time exploring and shooting in the sand dunes overlooking the gorgeous views. The outdoor setting really captured the warmth of love that connected everyone together. Anna and Tim are two of the sweetest people you will meet, it truly was a joy to photograph and share this day with these two. You can also see more from their wedding on Ruffled!

Dan & Rachael // Slide Ranch Wedding

Oh how sweet love is. This wedding was an intimate little gathering that oozed humility, love and pure joy. Dan and Rachael were surrounded by their friends and family from the bay area and Colorado to witness the pure love between them. Their ceremony was beyond sweet, so genuine, I had a permanent smile on my face the whole time. Their love is contagious…spending 5 minutes with them, you could feel it. Arash and I absolutely loved photographing and exploring the rolling hills of Marin with them. 

Featured! Style Me Pretty // Victoria & Joe, Bay Area Wedding Photographer, Fairmont Hotel Penthouse

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!

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.

the journey ahead…

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…

Chris & Hanniel // Maui, Hawaii Wedding Photographer

Well this one may be a longer post but so completely worth it. Over the summer, Arash and I did quite a bit of traveling, a few destination weddings were on the calendar and this one being the most near and dear to my heart. Why? Because the bride is not only my oldest friend (we’ve been friends since we were 5 and 6 years old!) but Chris and Hanniel have an insanely beautiful love. If you haven’t seen their engagement session featured on 100 Layer Cake or read about their story then you must. Their love is one of a kind, and with everything these two have already been through together, watching them finally get to celebrate their long awaited wedding day was probably the highlight of my year. And to top it all off? A backdrop like Maui could not have been more perfect! We all ventured out to Ioa Valley State Park for a bit of a guerilla style ceremony in the jungles of what felt like a scene out of a movie. Tall trees, tons of lush greenery all around and a view that was unreal. After the ceremony, we explored and discovered large valleys of sugar cane that we couldn’t resist but shoot in, and I’m so glad we did. From there, we ventured to the beach for a tasty and very cutely designed boxed lunch for all — from gingham napkins to yummy pie. For the reception, we all met up again at a local spot in town where the celebrating continued. All the graphics from the welcome bags to the “just maui’d” sign, were all done by Chris himself…how talented is he? All the decor and coordination of the wedding was done by none other than Rebekah and Alex of A&B Creative who I just love collaborating with whenever we can. The trip was such a great time and what better reason to head to hawaii than to celebrate these two? Cheers!

Kathy & Gilbert // Foreign Cinema, San Francisco Wedding

 Gotta love San Francisco with its endless amount of modern flair. Kathy and Gilbert embody the SF style and their wedding did not disappoint. The ceremony was held in the center of The Palace of Fine Art as on lookers and tourists watched from a distance. The Foreign Cinema could not have been a more perfect location for the reception since Kathy and Gilbert are the biggest film buffs. The start of their relationship was centered around films, attending every film festival together. You have to watch their engagement film at the end of this post. They created it just for their wedding reception and projected it on the wall at the Foreign Cinema during dinner. It was a huge hit to say the least and such a perfect way to bring it all together.
