Here are a few images from Max and Jenny’s fabulously fun and romantic engagement session. We started out in an awesome graffiti alley in the Mission district of San Francisco, then went over to Dolores park with Bi-Rite ice cream and then up to the top of Twin Peaks where we braved the wind and fog, which proved to make for a perfectly whimsical and dreamy backdrop. These two fell in love at Burning Man so it seemed only fitting that we incorporate their costumes into our evening of shooting as well. Erik and I had such a great time with Max and Jenny, and I can’t wait for their Big Sur wedding in October!!…Then potentially a Wreck the Dress session at Burning Man next year

And then the sun went down…and things got a little crazy…

Here is a sneak peek from Rich and Nicole’s gorgeous and totally fun destination wedding at the Hyatt Incline Village, North Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Combine a stunning location with a gorgeous couple and a bunch of friends and family that know how to have a good time and you’ve got a recipe for an amazing wedding! Nicole and Rich are two of the coolest, nicest clients I’ve had…such a blast to work with! I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know them and be a part of their wedding… Congratulations you two!

Philip and Mary traveled from Hawaii to share their intimate and emotional wedding at Waterbar in San Francisco with their closest family and friends. Some of the portraits were also taken at Sofitel Hotel on the peninsula. Philip and Mary were friends (with secret crushes) in grade-school, but life sent them in different directions as they got older and they lost touch. Then, after 30 years apart they were reunited through Facebook and realized their feelings for each other had only grown. It was obvious from the moment I arrived that they were completely smitten with eachother They were such a joy to photograph…their love for each other and their wonderful story is truly inspiring….Aloha nui loa!
