Jen and Paul had the most amazing rustic wedding at Douglas Ranch in Carmel Valley last weekend. I LOVE photographing these two! They are so in love, such a cute couple, great sense of humor, and the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Their dog Dexter joined in on the day (I had the pleasure of meeting him at their engagement shoot earlier in the year) along with another cute pup in a tux. The day began with a fun tea ceremony, then a quick dress change before the ceremony outside in a grove of trees overlooking the beautiful valley. Then it was on to dinner under the stars and dancing by the pool. It was the perfect evening…Congrats to Jen and Paul!!

Here are a few images from Lindsay and Ian’s gorgeous wedding and reception at the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame CA. These two were SO much fun to work with. Lindsay was all smiles and excitement and Ian was kind and laid back. These two were obviously crazy about each other and truly a pleasure to photograph.  Perfect venue, beautiful details, a sunny day, and an awesome couple with a great family…what more could a photographer ask for! Congratulations to Lindsay and Ian!

Candice and Joe’s two-part wedding was such a pleasure to shoot, not only because they are friends of mine, but also because both days were so heartfelt and intimate..So many hugs and happy tears! Day one was held at the Headlands Center in Sausalito where all their friends and family gathered for a special blessing over the couple, then an amazing meal prepared by Candice’s parents. For day two, I went along with them to the San Francisco City Hall where the actual ceremony was performed. Candice and Joe pulled off an awesome vintage look, which fit perfectly with the elegant City Hall architecture. I was incredibly honored to be there to photograph their union…Congrats to Joe and Candice!!

I’m so excited to share a few images from Lance and Radha’s beautiful wedding! Not only did Radha make her own dress (yes, you read that right) she also planned all the details herself…so talented! We had already done an awesome engagement shoot a few months back so it was easy for us to step right back into the rhythm.  The Vine Hill House in Sebastopol, CA was the perfect setting for the event they had envisioned, and the food was wonderful too – tacos! Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Lance and Radha had the perfect day! Congratulations!

Then we all changed for the Welcome Dinner…

Crystal and Chris had a completely amazing wedding in Tahoe, made doubly exciting because they are also expecting their first child together. It was an emotional day filled with gorgeous views and colorful quirky, details that made this celebration so uniquely there style. I have truly enjoyed getting to know Crystal and Chris – They are so genuine and caring. I love their sense of humor and they are so crazy about each other…It’s very inspiring! The wedding day began with a group yoga class, taught by their good friend. They ended up doing some pretty amazing group poses! Then later that afternoon everyone met up at the Beautiful Poulsen Estate in Squaw valley for the ceremony and reception which were beyond gorgeous.  It was an honor to be a part of there day…Congratulations to Crystal and Chris!

Here are a few images from Harvie and Jason’s beautiful elopement at Carneros Inn, Napa Valley. They were such a sweet couple! I met them for the first time just before the ceremony, and arrived just in time to capture Harvie whipping together the most beautiful bouquet, as if it were as easy as tying your shoes. I was a pleasure to be a part of their ceremony, and I even got to be the witness and sign their marriage license. What an honor! Congratulations to Harvie and Jason!

Larissa and Bryan had the most beautiful wedding at Beaulieu Gardens in Napa…Definitely one of my new favorite wine country venues! There were so many talented vendors at this wedding too. The event was effortlessly perfect thanks to the talented Laurel Anderson, planner extraordinaire, and the food was not only tasty but beautiful too! Not a surprise though as Paula DeLuc always does such an amazing job with catering. And Wiyanna Oakley had Larissa looking absolutely gorgeous all day. I had such a wonderful time at this wedding and getting to know Bryan and Larissa. Congrats to you both!! I have no doubt they’ll have a wonderful and exciting life together.

Here are a few images from Nathalie and Leo’s super fun engagement shoot. We began with a private tour of AT&T Ballpark – so cool! Then headed down to Half Moon Bay wear we stopped at an old farm they frequent that also had a driving range. Then to the beach at sunset with their adorable little pup. Can’t wait for their wedding at Kohl Mansion in October!
