Wedding photographer at City Hall in San Francisco in Bay Area. Veronika and Oleg.

This creative couple had a City Hall Wedding in San Francisco.  The bride contacted me from Moscow, Russia with some very editorial ideas for her wedding — she even brought rabbit masks! The dinner reception took place on the elegant Napa Valley Wine Train. Talk about an incredible backdrop for your wedding photography photos!  It looked like it was right out of a movie!

Wedding photogapher at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. Mia and Mark.

Mia and Mark had a fabulous destination wedding at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs, CA. It was a super hot day, but that didn’t stop this crew from dancing the night away at their absolutely huge party! Love being their wedding photographer in Palm Springs as this was a weekend wedding affair complete with the rehearsal dinner and brunch.  I had so much photographing the wedding couple portraits with tall the art in the lobby and around the grounds.  Such an incredible day!

Wedding Photographer at Hummingbird Nest Ranch near Ojai, CA. Melissa and Ron

Hummingbird Nest Ranch is nestle between Ojai and Santa Barbara, CA and is one of the most incredible places for a wedding and your wedding photos will literally glow!  This place is utterly magical with all the nooks and crannies to have your wedding photos taken.  From the grove of live oak trees, to the mansion and the swimming pool, this place is so uber glamorous.  Artistic and editorial wedding photography is at it’s finest here with all it’s decadence. Melissa and Ron are from Texas so a big ranch was in order for their wedding ceremony and reception.  They had a opulent grooms cake as well as a wedding cake and Melissa had to take a taste of the white chocolate as soon as possible!  Then this gorgeous couple had a rolls royce show up as their guests all lined up to bid them adieu with a sparkler exit.  What a fabulous wedding!

Wedding photographer in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe. Cathy and Mike

What a wedding at The Hyatt in Lake Tahoe at Incline Beach. The bride and groom wanted their wedding photos to reflect their sporty lifestyle so they arrived at the beach on SUP paddle boards and Cathy was pregnant with their first child!  It was  gorgeous blue sky day for their ceremony and their wedding images look so bright and cheery and reflect the fun love of the outdoors they have.  I used natural light mostly in their wedding photography althought I did fill flash a bit as there a bit of back lighting at times.  Beautiful day at Lake Tahoe for Cathy and Mike to get married.  BRAVO!
