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 ❤️
Last call for family mini photo shoots in San Francisco! They`re happening this Sunday afternoon 11/10 in the Golden Gate Park and I still have a few slots available. Treat yo`self!
And if you are based in the East Bay or prefer the redwoods I am doing a second day of these mini sessions the following weekend in Oakland on 11/16.

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.

I love seeing more couples opt for a private vow exchange during their first look. Emily and Will did that on their day and yes it got emotional 🥲

You know how some of the best stories start at the end and then work their way back through the events? I`m going in reverse chronological order for Emily & Will`s beautiful San Francisco wedding, starting with this dreamy kiss under the lantern lights.

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.
