What is that squeal of delight you hear??? We walk in to start photographing this weekend, and everywhere we looked there was something amazing. I look at Shannon, and we both say at the same time, “She. has. Jimmy. Choos.” I have seen the most beautiful shoes at weddings in the past couple of years....
Just finished a custom Love Story Album design for Kim and Derek’s gorgeous Sonoma wedding in April at Ramekins! This was a fun book to design, and I love how it tells the story of the day… even the bit of rain we had in the beginning, which was magically whisked away by the weather...
When I first spoke to Justin on the phone, I knew I wanted to be the wedding photographer he and his lovely bride, Eliza, chose to photograph their wedding! They were referred to me by my wonderful clients, Krista & Brett, who were married at Nestldown last August. They were in the same marriage prep...
Everyone has been buzzing about the upcoming launch of Adobe Photoshop CS5 and all its rumored new exciting features… well, I can neither officially confirm or deny the presence of specific features (hey, I am still under an NDA people… really I’d love to tell you, but then I’d have to kill you, and that...
One of my album “babies” goes to its rightful home… I put so much heart and soul into every wedding I photograph, and it doesn’t stop there… This beautiful book went home today… an amazing clouded glass cover with exquisite leather details, and a really beautiful design. Ginny, the lovely bride, took it out of...
Finally getting another few minutes to post some wedding images from an amazing wedding I shot this summer with Shannon Stellmacher Photography. It was such a gorgeous Napa day, and the couple was incredible as well! I love the Meritage Resort - it is simply stunning… warm Tuscan colors, great cave, and beautiful accomodations. Oh, and...
I have been very lucky to have seen many very talented musicians at the weddings I photograph! I always photograph them, and you will occasionally catch me moving and grooving… Ok, maybe not just occasionally… Live music are just another great way to liven up your wedding ceremony and reception if you have the budget...
Had a couple more images to add…Nestldown Weddings are just pure magic… I adore the small gauge railroad, the fantasy garden, the tremendous natural chapel in the redwoods, the London black taxi, and the staff and service is unrivaled! If you are looking for a place to celebrate your wedding and beautiful California natural surroundings,...
Ok, I know I go on and on about how wonderful my clients are, but seriously… I knew I wanted to photograph Krista & Brett’s wedding the first moment I spoke to Krista last November. A perfect day in Los Gatos – Nestldown’s virtues were in great form… they keep the property so beautiful that...
The Perfect Pair Wedding Program Carnelian Room Wedding Details Can’t believe I am getting a blog post up so quickly, but we were done early, and these favorites totally stood out!! Photographed Serena & Tim’s swanky downtown San Francisco wedding with my friend, Alexis, of AC Image. This lovely couple was a “perfect pair” and...
I am so flippin’ excited!! As if processing 25 portrait sessions, preparing to lecture photographers on album design at Golden Gate School of Professional Photography, living in the whirlwind of a 2 year old, and running a successful business… My new wedding photography website went live yesterday!!!! It is so fun to see wedding images...
When couples interview me they always ask, “what happens if you can’t make it, or if your second shooter gets sick?” Luckily, most of my friends are professional photographers as well, and we all try to “have each other’s back” whenever we’re needed. I had the pleasure of filling in with one such colleague, Jen...
One of my very favorite ways to spend my “spare” time is to go and shoot with other photographers. This wedding was incredibly special because I got to work with someone who is an incredible friend; someone who I have watched (and helped) blossom into an amazing photographer and businesswoman, and someone who I am...
Over the next few days I want to share some of my favorite weddings from 2007! The first one is Casie & Colin, who married on November 10, 2007 at Sts. Peter & Paul in San Francisco. The church in and of itself is one of the most beautiful in the US, but the flowers...
