Cornerstone, Sonoma Wedding: Max & Grace

37-Cornerstone-Sonoma-Wedding.jpg

Grace & Max were married on a warm summer’s day at the gorgeous Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma. Seeing these two get married was a special treat for me because I actually first met them at their proposal! I was there from the beginning of this wedding story, snapping away pictures as Max proposed on a trail overlooking Baker Beach in San Francisco. These guys are a lot of fun, so needless to say I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph the wedding as well.

Cornerstone definitely suits these two perfectly. It’s a naturally elegant setting with plenty of modern touches to keep it feeling fresh. My personal highlight was taking them out for a few sunset photos in the evening. It’s pretty magical to be able to step away from the goings-on of the wedding for a few minutes and have a quiet moment with your love. I could see that they were loving the little bit of private time together. It’s clear that they have so much fun in each other’s presence.

Make sure to check out Grace’s gorgeous gown. I was floored! It is one of the most stunning dresses I’ve ever seen and she looked marvelous in it, indeed.

Congratulations Max & Grace!

So freaking excited for these two! They kept it sweet and simple with a private elopement in San Francisco's golden gate park and they also had an enormous amount of luck when they planned to get married on Wednesday when we had a break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area. It was such a joy to capture this moment ❤️
Just going to put this here... my first attempt at putting myself in front of the camera! Everyone else is doing it so I'm giving it a shot now too. ⁠

This is from Christy & Dory's gorgeous wedding at Straus Home Ranch, in Marshall, CA. It is one of my favorite venues and this was a very special wedding. Even though this is a more serious moment there is tons of laughter that happens between these two. Christy has the most contagious laugh. I'm sure you'll be smiling when you take a peek. Check out the link in bio.⁠

Enjoy fleet week San Francisco. Hope you enjoy it as much as this mother of the bride!⁠

The most memorable moments are the unexpected ones. We were getting lined up for family photos when we could hear the blue angels starting up (very loudly) and flying overhead. Emily & Will got so lucky they didn't fly over while they were exchanging their vows and only started up just minutes after they said "I do."⁠
⁠
Also when taking this photo I was disappointed for a split second that I didn't have a long close up lens on me so I could get a better photo of the planes, but then I realized my wide angle lens was perfect for allowing me to get everyone's reaction to the planes just before they zoomed out of frame.
