Smiling, Happy Boy!
Special thanks to “Uncle” Mitch for giving Josh his first flying machine today! Daddy and Josh took the plane out for a spin, and crashed a lot to Josh’s giggly delight! Daddy giggled too… :^)

More than anything on your wedding day, your gown is really the show piece that your wedding style revolves around… This dress was so unique, and really showed the bride’s non-traditional personality. I loved the texture of the fabric, and the way it was just so luminous!

Ok, ladies, deep breath and repeat after me…. ahhhh, shoes! I’ll let you in on a little known secret (hahahaha)… we wedding photographers are obsessed with shoes… well, at least all the ones I know are… I am constantly challenging myself to come up with creative ways to showcase the special little things that bring “sole” to a wedding… At this wedding I photographed with Shannon Stellmacher, I think I came up with one of the coolest shoe shots I have ever made… One of the things I love about shooting with two photographers is that we really get to trade off and take our time to capture your important details, and you get the benefits of having so cool and different interpretations of your wedding details. Shannon’s brides, like mine, have a tremendous amount of style, and I am having my own private “woohooooo” party in the corner coming up with cool detail shot ideas at the same time she creates her vision of the amazing things that make up a wedding day, and capturing the fleeting moments as the bride is getting ready for her big day… I must say, we make quite a team! Big smooch, Shan! Ok… the title of this post should be “how many ways can you arrange those awesome shoes and rings in 2 minutes?” Enjoy!!

Lydia's Wedding Dress!

Something I totally dig… Weekday weddings! Lydia & Josh got married on a beautiful and sunny Thursday. My friend, Jill of Jill Doherty Photography, invited me along to be her associate photographer – so fun to work with you Jill, as always! Ok, so I have been shooting weddings since 2003, how come nobody ever told me about China Cabin? Seriously… I have shot down the street in both directions, and never once laid eyes on this little gem… So glad I finally got to see it! Lydia got ready at her and Josh’s house (so flippin’ cute… LOVE the bathroom fixtures especially!) and then we went off to some handpicked locations for photos that Jill had carefully researched the week before! These are just a few of my favorite highlights of the day… Josh’s wedding ring was custom made from the wedding bands of both his and Lydia’s fathers, both of whom had passed away. What a lovely tribute…

107 degrees is hot for a San Francisco girl, but give me diet coke, a couple of amazing families and an adorable couple, and we’re good to go! Had the great opportunity to trade weddings with my BFF and fellow photographer, Shannon of Shannon Stellmacher Photography, so thanks again for having me along to so many weddings this year… I loved that the bride got ready at her parents’ home and her room was so perfectly girly, and her parents and sisters were just adorable too. The details were so cute… garlic bulbs for place cards, gardenia bouquet, beautiful earrings, and some cute silver wedding shoes!!

Isn’t it funny that when someone is really busy, it doesn’t look like it on their blog. I have had my nose behind the camera and in front of the computer screen pretty much non-stop the past couple of months… so, a bit of catching up is in order… so, without further ado… the next few posts will come fast and furiously… :^)
My Little Pumpkin...
I love to photograph children in a pumpkin patch! The candid style with the colorful background is always a favorite… Doesn’t hurt that Fall is my absolutely favorite season! The crisp snap in the air, the bright blue sky, and pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!! Here’s two… same patch, same kid, 2 years different… my baby is growing up so fast! Ahhhh…. love that face!
