A Sweet City Hall Wedding in San Francisco


On Monday, September 21st I photographed Allison and Aaron incredibly sweet wedding ceremony at City Hall in San Francisco. Allison looked absolutely adorable in her short white eyelet dress and strappy silver heels. They were lucky enough to have 14 of their family members with them for the ceremony, officiated by Mayor Newsome. Allison and Aaron have been together for over ten years. They met the same week that Allison moved to the city, and have apparently been inseperable since. You could just tell how in love they are with each other.




Congrats Aaron and Allison!!

Some time in the Tarheel State

Last month I spent some time in North Carolina, my home state. It was wonderful to see some of my wonderful NC clients,friends and family. It was a busy but incredibly fun time. I spent some time in the Triangle area as well as down at the coast in Wilmington. Here are a few of my favorite images! If you'd like to get on the calendar for the next time I'm on the east coast let me know- As of right now it looks like late December through January 8th. I am also planning a spring trip for mid-April- just in time for the azaleas and dogwoods :) Stay tuned!

A garden wedding in Danville, CA

On August 15th I photographed Amelia and Ted's absolutely gorgeous wedding in Danville. Amelia and Ted decided to change their original plan of having the ceremony at the Lafayette Park Hotel- and go with a simply beautiful wedding in Amelia's parents own fabulous backyard. It was absolutely the perfect choice for them. The weather was perfect and the ceremony overlooking the pool was just stunning. The sweetest part of the ceremony to me was the music- Amelia's own brother sang as well as her mother's choral group.



Amelia and Ted decided that they wanted to see each other before the ceremony so that we could all go to their neighborhood park- an area of the Greenbelt from Crow Canyon Country Club leading to Osage Park. It was simply perfect. Amelia met Ted downstairs in the home she grew up in - and they shared a special moment seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day. Then, the wedding party and Sara and I spent some time with them at the park before the ceremony.
