Wedding Engagement Party Lauren + Marcela
Posted on June 8, 2021
There are just NO words how much love Lauren and Marcela had not for just each other but for everyone who came up to the party to congratulate them. The love was so big that I found myself smiling from ear to ear as I photographed all the beautiful happy moments! And there were SO many I couldn’t stop snapping away. These two are absolutely stunning inside and out and they are over the moon excited to have met and start their lives together as are both of their families. I am so honored to have captured this beautiful engagement party complete with a Coachella style tent, incredible desserts, pizza oven and the most delicious paella you can taste. Everyone was so HAPPY to be there to celebrate at Marcela’s property in St. Helena which was nestled on a hilltop between vintage olive and oak trees. It was a magical evening and Arica of Events by Arica Grace turned the hilltop setting into a bohemian wonder of comfort and eye candy! What a night under the stars it turned out to be and I am so happy that this last year which was so hard to connect somehow Lauren and Marcela still found their way to each other. The proof is in the pudding they say and you just don’t get smiles bigger than these two have for each other. Big Congratulations and Love!

The Julia Morgan Ballroom San Francisco. Krissy and Max
Posted on May 20, 2021
The Julia Morgan Ballroom is a perfect place for a wedding in San Francisco. It has the most incredible art deco architecture so your wedding photos have the most stellar backgrounds and the lighting is spectacular to capture your wedding reception photos at sunset. The light comes in through the windows just in time to highlight your first dance as husband and wife. It’s an honor to be a wedding photographer and I will always try to do my best as being the best wedding photographer in San Francisco means to keep exploring and being curious. I know these traditions are so important to be captured in an photojournalistic way but to also keep them artistic and beautiful. Krissy and Max did a first look at Omni Hotel where they were staying before they hopped across the street to the Julia Morgan Ballroom for their ceremony in the lobby. The wedding reception was upstairs on the penthouse floor with the glamorous San Francisco City skyline peeking in through the windows. Fabulous wedding and such a great venue for beautiful San Francisco wedding photography with such a fun and sweet couple! Here’s to lots of wonderful times together, Krissy and Max!

engagement Photography Session at Dillion Beach -Caitlin + Nick
Posted on May 17, 2021
There’s nothing more mystical than an engagement photography session out at Dillion Beach when it’s super foggy. We stomped around the water’s edge with the jagged rocky coast, climbed up to the vibrant succulent cliffs and creeped under the Eucalyptus tree Tunnels tucked away on the beach. We had a ball celebrating their wedding engagement and the photos reflect just that!

Trentadue Winery Wedding Photographer in Healdsburg, Sonoma County. Nicole and David.
Posted on May 16, 2018
The Alexander Valley is one of those hidden places not everyone ventures out to but when you do you discover beautiful gems like Trentadue Winery or Francis Ford Coppola Winery. It reminds me of the remote feeling of being at Joshua Tree where you so far removed from all the craziness of the city. Trentadue Winery has so much space that everyone just feels free and Nicole and David loved that about this wedding venue. They wanted their dining experience at their reception to be al fresco so the beautiful extra long farm table feel under the grape vines was absolutely perfect. Loved the artisty of their wedding and the photography reflects the beautiful natural light streaming through all the verdant vines. Wishing this couple many more nights under the stars together!

Reviews describe Beltrane Ranch as downright idyllic, the best bed and breakfast in wine country and The LA Times says, “I never could have dreamed up a more bucolic place.” Now how’s that as an introduction. So no wonder Nicole and Martin jumped at the chance to have their wine country wedding at Beltrane Ranch. It’s truly perfect for your wedding portrait photos and there area so many magical haunts around the property to explore so your wedding photography tells “your” story. Nicole and Martin had an intimate wedding with their closest family and friends and everyone couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time. Bucolic to say the least.

Loved the intimacy of Sophie and Jeremy’s wedding at The Depot Hotel in downtown Sonoma. It has the most vintage vibe and it’s perfect for smaller weddings plus it’s right across the road from the park with so many great backdrops for your wedding portrait shots such as this old train. It was a sweet and emotional wedding and everyone had so much fun dining al fresco with food from The Girl and the Fig which is out of this world delicious. Hope Sophie and Jeremy continue to have such wonderful family and friends around them for the rest of their lives.

Cornerstone Winery in Sonoma is one of the most unique and incredible places for your wine country wedding. Not only do you have the vineyards for your wedding couple photography but look at all the sculptures and garden art to pose along side of. I love this venue for it’s drama and splendor and Courtney and William made sure their wedding was as unique as this beautiful winery. William and his groomsmen performed a surprise mob squad dance for Courtney that made sure to make everyone cry while bursting out into laughter. It was a blast being their wedding photographer at Cornerstone Winery and I hope their lives are as much fun as this day was!
