Engagement session at Lafayette Reservoir and Moraga, CA




Back at the beginning of May I photographed Lauren and Ted's engagement session at Lafayette Reservoir. I can't wait till their wedding in early July. I'll be working with Danielle Gallagher and just know that it will be fabulous. Lauren and Ted have known each other for most of their lives and they are just adorable together.





After spending some time in Lafayette we drove over to Moraga to capture some amazing views of Mt. Diablo and the golf course. This spot was considered for their ceremony site- but beautiful Piedmont Hall won out in the end.

Congratulations Lauren and Ted! See you in just a few weeks!

Wedding at Testarossa Winery, Los Gatos, CA


Over Memorial Day Weekend I had the honor of photographing Ali and Dan's absolutely fabulous wedding at Testarossa Winery in Los Gatos. I LOVE this location. The day started at the beautiful Cypress Hotel in Cupertino where the women were getting ready.









The "first look" before the ceremony
















I photographed Ali and Dan's engagement session last September at the Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach in San Francisco. One of these days I'm going to catch up on all my blog posts!! Until then here are a couple of my favorites from that session.



Congratulations Ali and Dan. You two were absolutely wonderful to work with!!!

Engagement Session at Spoontonic Lounge in Walnut Creek


A couple of weeks ago I met up with Deanna and Eric for their engagement session. I always encourage my clients to choose a location that has some meaning to them- and Deanna and Eric are the perfect example! Spoontonic Lounge in Walnut Creek is a super cool "speakeasy" style bar- and it just happens to be the place where Deanna and Eric met :) If I have the story straight, conversation between these two first started over a comic book at the bar. The rest is history! I can't wait until their wedding in June! Here are a few of my favorites from their session. Congratulations Deanna and Eric!
