Wedding Photos: Jamie & Travis (San Francisco, California)

Weddings are such a special event, I am always excited to capture the emotions of the day. Jamie and Travis held their ceremony at San Francisco City Hall (always a favorite of mine!) followed by an afternoon reception in Livermore, California. There were lots of beautiful touches throughout the day that were close to the bride and groom’s heart and the guests had so much fun celebrating in the sunshine.

Dana and Eddie’s were married on the Summer Solstice, holding their wedding festivities at the bride’s childhood home. The ceremony and reception fit perfectly into the outdoor space, making the whole event feel very personal and intimate for the guests. The bride and groom are such warm, welcoming people and had a wonderful time celebrating with their family and friends.

Wedding Photos: Erin & Kyle (Vallejo, CA)

The story behind these wedding photos begins a long time ago. I had spent time with Erin, in a group of mutual friends and got to know her over the years. As is often the case with photographers, my camera went with me on some of those outings. Every single photo that I took of this girl turned out stunning. Every photo, every time. I finally told her that I was going to shoot her wedding someday, since I knew the photos would be amazing. Years after that casual comment, it came true and I was so excited to be there.

Erin and Kyle have the sweetest personalities and share so much laughter. Not only were the photos beautiful (as I suspected), but it was a downright fun day to spend with these two. They joked around, chatted everyone up and were genuinely enjoying the day with everyone attending. The venue was beautiful and everything was so well thought out, so personalized and caring towards their guests. My congratulations to you both and best wishes on your journey together!

Engagement Photos: Christine & Chris (Walnut Creek, CA)

Such a wonderful engagement photoshoot! We met in downtown Walnut Creek, at one of the couples’ favorite restaurants and wandered around the area, finding the best little spots for photos. Christine and Chris were so comfortable in front of the camera, which allowed their connection to one another really shine through. Being able to capture that in photos makes me so happy, because I think those are the best images. Congratulations on this step in your journey and your upcoming wedding!

Family Photos: DeLira Family (San Jose, California)

I always, always enjoy returning to photograph a family following a maternity shoot once the new baby has arrived. This shoot particularly had me excited, because they are all such a sweet family and easy to be around. See maternity photos here, then scroll down for their seriously cute daughter!

I had the chance to meet up with this group again and take some updated photos. I can’t believe how much time has gone by, but it was such a pleasure to have everyone in front of my camera, especially finding reasons to make the kids laugh!

Wedding Design: Watercolor Greenery Favor tags

A beautiful trend I’ve been seeing for weddings and bridal showers is soft watercolors and decorations made of leaves and greenery. Both elements add an elegant touch to the event and are such a great compliment to other decorative elements. I’ve not added new watercolored greenery favor tags are now available in my Etsy shop as easy-to-use digital templates.

Bridal Shower Design: Custom Drink Tags

Bridal showers are such fun celebrations! There are so many little details that can be added to customize the event and make it even more special. With that in mind, I created these wine glass tags to add a sweet touch. Visit my Etsy shop to see more details and place your order.

Wedding Photos: Cynthia & Guillermo (Hayward, California)

I get to witness some very special moments, thanks to my photography. This was a private wedding ceremony, held in a local park on a quiet morning. There was such joy in this ceremony and the journey of these two together. Afterwards, we spent some time wandering and exploring the park, letting these two enjoy their first few moments as Mr. and Mrs.
