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 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!

Family Photos: the Burtons (Livermore, CA)

This family has so much fun together and you can tell from their photos! I appreciated that they were willing to get goofy in front of the camera and have a great time. We met up at a spot that I’ve shot at many times, but we were able to roam and find some awesome new nooks and crannies all over.

(Because pictures of kids putting all their energy into jumping never gets old. Ever.)

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.

Engagement Photos: Katie & Jake

We are so close to Katie & Jake’s wedding date, I can’t believe it’s almost here already. I had the pleasure of doing an engagement session for them in Downtown Livermore, California. They chose locations that are very important to their relationship – the spot they decided to start dating, the place they went on their first date and the spot Jake asked Katie to marry him. Such fun and I love how varied their locations and all the photos are!

Can’t wait to team up with a good friend to photograph the wedding day!

Family Photos: Evans Family (Livermore, CA)

A year has gone by so fast since I last took family photos with this fun group! Since then, I’ve gotten to know them all a lot better, which just made me look forward to hanging out with them for their photo session. I have so much fun hanging out with the people I get to photograph! We had a great location and absolutely beautiful lighting for this session, I couldn’t have asked for better. Enjoy!

Family Photos: Gray Family (Livermore, CA)

Super cute kiddos and some stylish parents make for some awesome pictures. So many of the pictures of the kids made me crack up, because they have so much personality, which is fun to be around. I’m a big fan of this family – talking beer with AJ, being crafty with Amanda and seeing their girls grow up.

Wedding Photos: Kellie & Ryder (Livermore, California)

Kellie and Ryder are a sweet couple that have known each other since they were little (come to find out, since preschool age). Their wedding fell on a beautiful summer day and took place outdoors at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, California. I got to shoot alongside Rachel Goble for the first time and enjoyed myself. I got to take time capturing all the unique little details (fun) and hanging with the guys throughout the day (even more fun) and enjoying the festive and lovely event.

Wedding: Lisa and Kurt (Livermore, CA)

Lisa and Kurt decided to come to California to share their vows with one another. Their intimate wedding took place on a beautiful spring day in the Livermore wine valley, amidst family and friends who joined them on their special day. As soon as I arrived on site, I enjoyed the relaxed energy and every lovely detail included in the day. I also loved their color scheme with lots of purple – my favorite color (the bride even chose a purple dress)!

All three of us went into the pool for a few fun photos at the end of the night. I was game, since it meant some fun images for the bride and groom!

I always like to share the variety of projects I get to work on. Awhile back I was asked to do some spec work for Darcie Kent Vineyards in Livermore, working on some bottle shot photography. Below are the two I completed, which I am happy to share on my website.
