It was a little rainy on Sushmitha & Sherwin’s wedding day. Maybe this was not how they pictured their day, sure, but they were not phased in the least. Their energy was happiness, brightness and the excitement from beginning to end. We tucked inside St. Helena Catholic Church for their ceremony, had fun with umbrellas in a […]

I’m so excited to bring you Tracy & Ben’s wedding at Carneros Resort today! They had one special request when they decided to plan a destination wedding from Texas to the Napa Valley – that all of their family, including the tiny ones, make it out to celebrate with them. Because that was the most […]

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 […]

My upcoming 2018 wedding season is really taking shape! Today I’m continuing my new ‘Welcome’ series (started just last week as a way to express how happy I am that my new couples have chosen me to capture their wedding days. It’s important, and I am honored.) Welcome, Brian + Jon! It’s been a whirlwind few […]

I’ve been thinking about my couples recently and realizing how much I truly appreciate them. I mean, when they book me or my associates to photograph their wedding, they are placing an immense amount of trust in me. They are saying that they have chosen me to timelessly, accurately, beautifully, and completely capture the story […]

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 […]

It’s been a busy few weeks and I couldn’t be more honored. Being ‘busy’ as a wedding photographer has special meaning behind it: that so many couples have chosen me to be a part of a most important day in their lives – to capture the moments of their day in a way that matches […]

From first meeting Kim & Chris, I knew instantly that I was going to enjoy their wedding day. These are truly two of the most easy-going people I’ve met, and no matter the excitement of their day, they stayed centered, genuine, and happy. It was a bright, gorgeous, colorful day at The Vintage Estate in […]
