Brianna and Jesse picked the perfect location in nature to have their wedding celebration. Brianna's gown was absolutely stunning and their inclusion of their love of Star Trek and Whiskey was visible throughout the day. It was so great that their personalities shined in their big day! So much fun!
Kendric and Chris are the cutest couple! They had a perfect color-themed wedding, converses included! Their day started with a beautiful church ceremony and continued into the evening in Marin. And of course, we ended it with light painting! Happy viewing!
Jenny and Eric have two beautiful children and shared their wedding celebration after being together for 17 years with their closest friends and family. Their afternoon wedding was at a vineyard, the weather was perfect (a bit windy), and all who attended has a wonderful time sharing in this family's celebration!
Vinny came over to celebrate is 4th birthday with a fun photo session! He was amazing! He went through four outfit and scene changes and had a great time the entire session. I am so impressed with this sweet, young man!
Lori and Johnny's wedding was a garden party-themed in Sonoma at Kenwood Farms and Gardens. It fit them perfectly! The awesome thing was that the officiate was a close friend and some of their close friends and family participated in parts of the ceremony. It was intimate and beautiful.
Venue & Caterer: Kenwood Farms and Garden; Wedding Planner: Sandy Green; Florist: Maria Cabada, Whole Foods Market, Sonoma
Shooting in the same location on more than one occasion is great because you know the best spots, you know how to work with the light, and it gives you a sense of comfort. The challenge is to keep the creative juices flowing and create new moments with each couple. The beauty of what I do is that I get to work with different personalities and styles of people. Getting to know the couple at our consultation and on the engagement shoot allows me to be creative, bringing out the personalities of the couple. I love that part of what I do. I find engagement shoots also help with helping the couple be more comfortable with photography on their wedding day. They are more at ease, know how I work, how I pose them, etc. and it just adds to the enjoyment of the big day!
Hillary, Ross, and I went to a familiar location for me and we had such a great time utilizing the mustard fields that were in bloom. I am so excited for their July wedding! Such a fun, down-to-earth couple - we are going to have a blast!
I love this family! I had the pleasure of photographing Rebekah and Josh's wedding and now they are about to welcome a new little family member! We had so much fun walking along the trail while shooting, discussing baby names and how awesome Ashlynn is going to be as a big sister!
Congratulations guys! I cannot wait to photograph your littlest one! (I am not mentioning the sex of the baby on purpose because I do not know if that has been advertised). ;-)
Stephanie and Tony picked the perfect setting for their close family and friends to celebrate their marriage! It was the night before a big storm and the wait staff and I saw the clouds coming in, but the night was perfect!
Mathew is the son of another couple whose wedding I had the honor of photographing. He is such a cutie! He came to me on a day he had an ear infection and was not 100%, but he did remarkably well and still had a blast! We did a fun SF Giants themed portrait shoot and then we moved on to a very important nap! After Mathew's nap, we did his cake smash and he loved it!! So much fun!
Adrienne and Brian chose the perfect beautiful Spring day for their wedding at Flying Cloud Farm in Petaluma. This sweet, fun couple were off to Disneyland for their honeymoon after the wedding and as their gifts to each other before the ceremony, they gave each other an 'Up' movie themed pin. The ended up giving each other the same exact pin without knowing it! They are definitely meant for each other and I was so excited to work with them! Congratulations guys!!
Andriana and Ryan are so sweet together! And, Henny is such an adorable doggy!! They make up the cutest family! I cannot wait for their wedding!
Be prepared for cuteness overload! I love my lifestyle sessions! The children get to run and play, and be kids; they are able to adjust to their surroundings and then we slowly work in some posed photos. But, most of all, we show their personalities and capture who they are at that moment. This session with brothers Angelo and Emmit was so much fun! From photo bombs to playful sibling moments, we covered it all!
I had the great pleasure of doing a 1yr old Easter themed and cake smash session with lovely little Azalea. She is so sweet and had so much fun during each session.
Sweet little Daysa! She was so adorable when it came to smashing her cake; she wasn't sure about and went back and forth eating it with her hands and a fork. She ended up sharing her cake with us grown-ups and it was SO yummy, I can understand why she finally gave in and ate some!
Tony and Tyler are the sons of a very dear friend of mine. I love to photograph them any time I get to visit them! This time we celebrated Tony turning a year old with a fun shoot and a cake smash. Tyler is now Four Years Old. I photographed him last when he was Two Years Old. The last photo here is the best of all - it is an outtake and it is hilarious. I think they were telling me they were done with photos. They were great sports, though!! Love them!
What a fun afternoon with such a cute couple. It was so windy all day and right when we went to do our session, the wind died down, so it was meant to be. We picked a sweet little park setting to show of their down-to-earth personalities.
I am beyond excited to have done the 1 year-old photo shoot and cake smash for Joshua! Not only did I photograph his parents' wedding, I photographed their maternity session, and now I get to photograph their son! I am so blessed!! His eyes are so beautiful and he is such a fun little boy!! This day was so amazing! Enjoy some of the shots!
Mayra, Tyler, and I went to one of my favorite places to shoot. There is such a great combination of rustic country and wine country that there are endless options. We had so much fun covering every inch of the property and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding here, also! If you need a great venue with a great coordinator, look no further than Crane Melon Barn!!
Blessie has the most amazing smile and her inner beauty shines through matching her outer beauty. Ted is sweet-hearted and knows he has found gold in Blessie and he is holding on, which is smart. ;-) They make such a great couple!
We had such an easy and fun time talking and getting to know each other, we almost missed the sunset! But, we didn't, of course and the beauty of the evening was breathtaking. Kayla and Kevin are such a fun-loving couple and their personalities shined during our session. From ease of cuddling to jumping off logs, they are definitely a pair who belongs together!
