Probably! I have been photographing weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2010. Some venues I know particularly well are Thomas Fogarty Winery, Nestldown, Trentadue, the Brazilian Room, and so many more.

Upon agreeing to work together I will send out a contract and invoice for a 50% retainer fee. Then I will reach out to you 6 weeks before the wedding to start planning. I will ask for your timeline, send you a link to a questionnaire, and we will set up a call 1-2 weeks before your wedding to go over everything.

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.

Squish. These two share a calm intimacy. It was a delight to see how they light each other up.
I`m digging the contrast between the serenity of the redwoods and their urban reception location. This is the second wedding I`ve had like that recently. That`s the beauty of an East Bay wedding-- you don`t have to choose; you can have both.
Make sure to check out slide 4 to see what a beautiful badass Alexis was on her wedding day!

When we met, these two said they were not comfortable in front of the camera. Honestly, I get that a lot. And here they are looking comfortable in their own skin, madly in love, and killing it! 🔥
So happy for Cindy & Aliya on their beautiful San Francisco City Hall wedding.
