My Little Pony

I can't even begin to explain how much fun I had yesterday photographing Isabella. The afternoon started at Tilden Park where we found some absolutely gorgeous light. It took some patience to work with Maggie the yellow lab. She is a tad camera shy. After capturing some gorgeous images we then drove over to the barn where the family keeps Daisy. What a sweet animal this is! Isabella is quickly outgrowing small Daisy so we took this opportunity to photograph the two of them together. I can't wait to see the new horse Isabella!

Studio Maternity Session

At the end of July I photographed Shawn and Danielle's maternity session in the studio. Baby Grace Jessica arrived last month- but I just had to post a few images from this session first. Danielle was such an adorable pregnant person!

Wedding at Rios Lovell Winery, Livermore, CA

The day after Brittany and Brian's wedding Lindsay and I headed off to Livermore to photograph Chris and Sarah's wedding. These two are so easy to photograph! They had the most genuine smiles all day and we had so much fun with them in the vineyards.

I absolutely loved the blue and red color combination that Sarah chose - It looked absolutely gorgeous. I hope to see more of it this coming season!

Wedding at the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, and the Olympic Club

Back on July 19th Lindsay and I had the privelege of photographing Brittany and Brian's incredible wedding in San Francisco. What a fantastic day it was! The intimate ceremony for only their closest friends and family was held at the Fairmont Hotel in the Buckingham Suite.

Then we all hopped on a cable car to tour around the city.

Only in San Francisco could it be that cold on a Saturday in July! You would never have guessed it though by looking at Brittany and Brian. They didn't stop beaming the whole day.



After stopping at the Golden Gate Bridge, Alamo Square Park, and the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge, we headed to the Olympic Club where the cocktail hour was going strong with all of their extended family and friends. Brian is a member of this fabulous club and we spent a bit of time capturing some images of the two of them poolside. The reception followed upstairs at the club. The ballroom looked absolutely amazing. I thought it was a really nice touch that each table had a framed photo of the wedding image of an important couple to Brittany and Brian. So thoughtful and a great way to honor the important couples in their lives. With lots of help from Vicki, the Olympic Club's coordinator, the night went very smoothly. I was blown away by the band Brittany and Brian chose- the Cheeseballs! (what a great name!)
