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!)

Wedding at St. Mary's College and Blackhawk Auto Museum

Wow it's been a while since I've posted anything! I want to go back and post some images from Anjuli and Marc's wedding back in July. What a BEAUTIFUL wedding this was! The day started at St. Mary's College in Moraga.

I absolutely love photographing weddings at this location! From the stunning chapel to the gorgeous archways to the beautiful courtyards - this campus is a photographer's dream. Anjuli and Marc looked absolutely stunning!


After the ceremony Mary and I headed over to Danville to the incredible Blackhawk Auto Museum.
My favorite part of the evening was their first dance. Two of Marc's groomsmen performed "Stellar" from Incubus. Such a cool touch.
Marc and Anjuli are now off to Spain where they'll be living for the next year or so. Best of luck to you both and thanks for sharing this beautiful day with us!


Meet me in outerspace
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me
We could start again
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, its better than I ever knew

Wedding at Mission Ranch, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

The first weekend in July Lindsay and I drove down to beautiful Carmel to photography Loren and Michael's wedding. The entire event was held at the incredible Mission Ranch. Loren and her bridesmaids got ready in the honeymoon cottage- an adorable little house adjacent to the 1850s farmhouse on the property. Loren and Michael decided to see each other before the ceremony, allowing for ample time to take advantage of the incredible grounds for photos. The ceremony itself was in front of an enormous pasture just in front of the sea- and in there is a quaint little group of sheep. Absolutely stunning. The highlight was watching the adorable children Loren and Michael chose to be bell-ringers for their ceremony. Following the ceremony the cocktail hour took place in the small barn; and then everyone moved into the large barn for the formal dinner and toasts. Afterwards it was back to the patio barn for dancing. James Coulson from SightNSound provided music that kept the party going full steam for the entire evening. We were thrilled to learn that we would again be working with them a few weeks later for Mark and Susan's wedding in Monterey. Congratulations Loren and Michael!
