Sabrina & Alden married at the Brazilian Room

It was such a pleasure to photograph Sabrina & Alden’s big day recently, at the Brazilian Room in Tilden, I could easily see how they light each other up with joy each time they laid eyes on each other.

The weather couldn’t decide if it wanted to be sunny or cloudy and so it switched between the two giving us some great light for photo taking. They got ready to do their “first look” and Ketubah signing at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley before heading off for the big shebang at the Brazilian Room. The adorable little blonde angel you see in the photos is Sabrina’s daughter. I loved snapping the moment below where she looked picture perfect as she held her great-grandmother’s beautiful beaded purse.

At the Brazilian Room they had delicate pink flower arrangements in beautiful bronze pots and jugs. I’ve never seen that before and thought it felt very modern and old world, all in one. The sweetest moment that got every tearing up was during the ceremony. Alden lifted up Naomi, Sabrina’s daughter and read out a beautiful promise to love her too for all time. Then it was time to dance, eat and celebrate!

Congratulations Sabrina, Alden and Naomi!

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.
