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!

Wedding at St. Bonaventure and Blackhawk Auto Museum

In mid-June Mary and I had the pleasure of photographing Tristanne and Jeremy's wedding at St. Bonaventure Catholic Church in Clayton. Their reception followed at the Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville. I got to know Tristanne and Jeremy last year when Lindsay and I photographed their engagement session down in Pacifica. They are absolutely adorable together. Tristanne told me about the beautiful garden behind St. Bonaventure and how she really hoped to get some beautiful photos of the two of them there after the ceremony. I pictured a quaint little garden like what is found behind many churches. I had absolutely no idea. This garden is an amazing project of the parishioners like I have never seen. The garden spans the entire back side of the enormous building- with paths that wind in and out between rose gardens, enormous hydrangea bushes, and beautiful wooden bridges. On the day of the wedding we started at Tristanne and Jeremy's new home for preparation photos. It was quite warm that Friday (it broke the record, 104!)- but thankfully the church was nice and cool when we arrived. The ceremony was beautiful and nearly went off without a hitch- no one seemed to mind when the priest almost closed the ceremony without leading Tristanne and Jeremy to exchange rings! After their first kiss Tristanne and Jeremy exchanged their wedding bands and all was good. After family photographs and many images in the garden we were off to Blackhawk for the reception. It was absolutely beautiful. I was impressed by Darlene's hard work from Wallace and Events. The ballroom looked like something from a fairy tale. I loved the Mickey Mouse inspired cake (Tristanne and Jeremy got engaged in front of the castle) and the colorful candy station. No Blackhawk wedding is complete without photos in the upstairs gallery - especially in front of the '37 Cadillac. I thought it was great that Jeremy's dad also drove in his own classic Alfa Romeo and parked it out front for Tristanne and Jeremy.

Engagement Session at Chrissy Field

I had SO much fun back in June photographing Jeff and Liz's engagement session at Chrissy Field. They are such a fun couple and I can't wait for their wedding in April. I absolutely LOVED that they included their precious pooch Bella in the session. "Little" Bella is an enormous newfoundland that is clearly their "baby." The dog is absolutely adorable and they are considering having her in the wedding!

Thanks for a great session Jeff and Liz! See you soon Bella!

Portrait Session at Heather Farms Park, Walnut Creek, CA

I absolutely love shooting at Heather Farms Park. Back in early May I photographed Tiago's 1 year session at the park. I have had SO much fun with this little boy over the past year. He is such a doll. It's been fun watching him grow as I've photographed his newborn, 3, 6, and 9 month sessions. It's been great getting to know his parents also- I feel like I've known them for years! Here's a look at the past year .. I can't wait to see how their family grows in the future!

Wedding at Wedgewood Banquet Center

In mid-June we had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer and Pedro's wedding. We started at mom and dad's house for the preparation photos. We then all travelled to Wedgewood for both the ceremony and the reception. I was super impressed with how laid back and collected Jennifer was all day-- even when she realized the marriage license had been left at home! I was also very impressed by Pedro- this Groom was definitely not afraid of showing some emotion. I'm not afraid to admit that I still get teary eyed at weddings every now and then- and this definitely was one of them.

This couple is definitely in love.
