Crissy Field is a classic spot to have your photo taken in San Francisco. Nothing really says San Francisco like glorious views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and to boot, there’s also a sandy beach and other fun wonders to explore. I loved photographing Kelley & Sebastian here. They are total goofballs and made every minute of this explode with fun and lots of energy. Enjoy their engagement session!

That HELL YES feeling
Hell yes, this is my person
Hell yes, we planned a wedding, and it was harder than we thought, but we survived
Hell yes, we just said our vows in a beautiful place that felt authentic to us
Hell yes to the rest of our lives
S+M got married in the redwoods at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland, surrounded by friends and family, and it was perfect

Permission to relax.
The big moments you planned are done, and now it`s time to chill and connect with the folks who came out to celebrate with you.
The image is a 35mm film scan with my cute little 90`s Konica point-and-shoot. I`ve been working in more film and having a blast. More film to come.

You can really feel it when a couple`s community is integral to their day. After 15 years together, Sarah & Matt`s wedding guests were so excited to see these two get married. Some folks sang, and some played music during the ceremony, and a friend officiated. When it came time to walk down the aisle after the ceremony, I was moved by how many folks were inspired to reach out and touch them. It shows a deep sense of connection to their community.
For me too, it was a beautiful day to be a part of. They are silly, and they are loving with one another, and we had a blast taking photos together. It fills my heart to be able to capture moments like these.
Much more about these two and their beautiful day is on the blog. Link in bio.

What an incredible celebration! Phillip & Meghana are warm, caring, and just wonderful freaking people to be around, and I am so glad I got to be a part of the fun, twice over.
They had multi-day, multicultural Hindu and Catholic wedding ceremonies and an incredible party to celebrate it all at San Francisco`s Officer`s Club in the Presidio.
