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.

Wedding Decor: Denise & Jared (St Helena, California)

I really enjoy being able to design for weddings beyond the invitation and work on all the little touches that personalize the wedding day itself. Once the wedding invitation was in the mail, there were a bunch of items to make for Denise and Jared’s winery wedding. It was quite the variety, from hand-lettered signage, to favor hang tags. My personal favorite was the bar signs, so much fun (and gold ink)!

Probably the best thing about working on this wedding was being able to make the day beautiful for my friends. I really enjoyed brainstorming with the bride and the groom and bringing back the finished pieces that fit right into their vision for their special day.

Wedding Photos: Emily & Joe (Livermore, California)

As I was getting these wedding photos ready, I found myself wishing that I could go back and enjoy their day again. Emily and Joe are two of the sweetest people, full of laughter and so easy to be around. I had the pleasure of meeting these two when they first started dating (through my husband), so it was such an honor to capture and celebrate their wedding day alongside them. Congratulations again!

Wedding Photos: Nicole & Georgios (Sausalito, CA)

Everything about this wedding was unique and interesting, which makes for an awesome set of final photos. I was honored to be invited to capture such an intimate wedding in such a breathtaking location. The rain held off for most of the wedding day, but the ceremony location was blanketed in fog, giving a surreal feeling to a lot of the photos. Beautiful and unforgettable!

Wedding Photos: Katie & Jake (Livermore, California)

I enjoy how unique each wedding is, especially when a couple puts so much of their personality into their special day. Katie and Jake’s engagement photos were full of locations that told their story and their wedding day contained so many touches that were special to them. They had a sunny day for their October wedding in Livemore, California and I got to second-shoot for my friend (and talented photographer) Renee from Renascent Photography.

Wedding Decor: the Hajdukovics

Another wedding full of personalized items! So glad to have these projects come my way and add some custom pieces to such an exciting day. Congratulations to the Hajdukovics!

A very unique seating chart – each table was designated a different board game, since it’s one of the couple’s favorite pastimes. Keeping board games in play (ha, see what I did there?), their guestbook was pieces of the Jenga game that guests personalized.

Wedding Photos: Ashely & Ryan (Eugene, Oregon)

What a pleasure to join Ashley and Ryan on their wedding day in Eugene, Oregon. It was a beautiful summer day, full of laughter and so much love. I second shot this wedding, alongside Renee of Renascent Photography, and spent a bunch of my time that day hanging out with the guys while they got ready. So much fun to spend some time shooting a wedding from a bit of a different perspective!

Venue: Sweet Cheeks Winery (Eugene, Oregon)

Wedding: Emily & Marc (Berkeley, CA)

Almost a year later, but the photos are still so beautiful! I’ve always wanted to shoot at the Brazil Room in Tilden Park and finally had the chance! Nearby, the botanical gardens are the perfect place to wander and take wedding photos. This wedding was nothing short of awesome, with the sweetest bride and the nicest groom to work with. Emily & Marc were as much fun on their wedding day as they were at their engagement shoot, two fun people seriously in love. From the first look at an overlook of the entire Bay Area, to the traditional Greek dancing, the whole day was great. As always, many thanks to Renee of Renascent Photography for having me along as her second shooter.
