Bar mitzvah at the sweetwater in Mill Valley, CA – Trip

I always love photographing at The Sweetwater in Mill Valley, CA and this was no exception. At 13 years old, Trip, is already a very accomplished musician and he wanted his Bar Mitzvah to represent his musical interests. He and his band performed a very impressive list of cover songs and the walls were covered in Rock posters of him with his favorite quotes by bands he loves. They served the sweetest of the sweetest candy lined beverages and had a temporary tattoo artist making everyone rockstars! It was a grand affair and I hope Trip has an awesome life ahead of him with music carving out his path along the way!

Bar Mitzvah PHotography at Emanu-El and Spinnaker in Sausalito, CA – Charlie

Charlie was so excited to have his Bar Mitzvah finally after having had to reschedule it a couple times due to Covid. He had so much fun with his family and fiends after his service at Emanu-El Temple in San Francisco. The party was held at the Spinnaker Restaurant with jaw dropping views of the San Francisco skyline. I had an awesome time photographing Charlie’s Bar Mitzvah and the fun they all had together dancing and playing fuse ball and air hockey. I had the awesome opportunity of photographing his sister, Maddie, three years prior for her Bat Mitzvah at the Spinnaker Restaurant as well so it was a happy deja-vu being their bar mitzvah photographer once again.

Wedding Photography at Deer Park Villa, Fairfax in Marin County. Leah and Matthew.

Wow.  What a beautiful day this was.  I mean the love between Leah and Matthew is off the chart and their devotion to their four children is even more mind staggering.  The children were a part of every celebration and they loved it –even with a newborn attached to them most of the evening. It’s times like this that being a wedding photographer in San Francisco has its advantages. The venue, Deer Park Villa in Fairfax which is in the heart of Marin County near Samuel P. Taylor National Park is awe inspiring.  The redwoods tower above you giving you a peek at the star filled sky.  Such an emotional and authentic ceremony and reception gave me pause and event planner, Chiara DeJoy, made sure everything was just exquisite! Chiara always makes me feel like I’m the best wedding photographer in San Francisco as she is so supportive and on point. What a wonderful night and I love the wedding photo of them under the redwoods with the lights framing them. I wish these two the absolute best life has to offer.

Bacara Wedding Photographer in Santa Barbara. Fielding and Larry.

Noone and I mean noone can make you laugh like Fielding and Larry!  They had the most incredibly FUN wedding at Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara complete with limbo dancing.  Their choreographed first dance was enough to give you cramps in your stomach from laughing.  They are simply made for one another and I cannot wait to see their journey as it unfolds. Mazel Tov to the most animated and cool couples out there!

Wedding photographer at The Santa Barbara Biltmore Four Seasons. Talani and Robert Diggs (RZA of Wu-Tang Clan).

Unparalleled luxury! RZA and Talani had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Santa Barbara Biltmore Four Seasons.

It was a gorgeous day with red rose buds everywhere and I was honored to be their wedding photographer and I especially love photographing weddings at The Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara.  Such an exceptional day and a gorgeous couple with their son in attendance as the ring bearer.  And talk about the toasts… every grammy winning musician you can imagine was there to toast them and wish them the best life together.  You better believe the music was amazing as well and everyone danced until late in the night! Here’s RZA’s bio for a little fun.
