Ruth & Chris’ Lake Chalet Wedding

Ruth and Chris had a lovely Saturday morning brunch wedding at the Lake Chalet in Oakland last month. They stood before the glittering back drop of Lake Merritt and exchanged rings that they actually made themselves! They set up a ring warming station where they shared photos and information about making each others rings and their guests participated by holding them in their hands and blessing them. I loved this unique idea!

Then after the ceremony they shared brunch and mimosas with their guests. It was the perfect end to a sweet relaxed wedding that reflected Ruth & Chris’ charming easy going natures. Congratulations Ruth & Chris!

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.⁠

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.
