Photographing a wedding can be an all-day affair, capturing the story from getting ready to last dance and everything in between, and I love it. But not all weddings need this kind of coverage, and I love them too. There are lots of things that make a wedding couple unique, and one of them is […]

Cara & Max wanted a wedding that was as easy going as possible so they could relax and really just enjoy. So they planned a small wedding with an amazing dinner, and invited their ~15 close family members to celebrate with them. It was their just-right day, perfect just for them – as every wedding […]

The beauty of these two people and their families are making my day today. 🙂 We can’t wait to share more!  

Tiffany and Blake are that kind of couple you meet and say to yourself “yep, perfect.” When I first met them for their engagement session at their alma matter, Stanford University (where, incidentally, they met while enrolled in the law school there), I remember thinking how lucky we are in life if we can be […]

One day, I’ll remarry my husband of 20 years, and we’ll celebrate just like Mary & Chris did recently: in a lovely vineyard garden at sunset with relaxed (yet lush) picnic-style decor and a warm night to spend dancing under the stars. And if my man and I can feel as content, relaxed and simply […]

Amongst the bustle of this season’s weddings, we had a special moment with these two – Brandy and Brandon – just a couple weeks ago at Chardonnay Golf Club. These are two of the sweetest and most generous souls I’ve had the honor of working with, and they deserve every bit of love they were […]

Once in a while, one of my couples asks me to please not post images of them or their guests on my blog or social media, and I completely respect that. Weddings are a personal celebration, and not everyone is necessarily comfortable with strangers eyeballing their personal photos. I understand completely! Luckily I still get […]

“We never dreamed in a million years there would be marriage equality in our lifetimes.” Cindy wrote this to me when we first booked her and Lydia’s wedding date, and it made such an impression on me. Marriage equality is still so new in our society, still so shocking that it was finally achieved. One […]
