Eight months into the pandemic with still no slowdown of the virus in sight, Katie and Brian still managed to have their wedding on their original wedding day — though as you might imagine, much of it had to be re-planned! Instead of a large indoor wedding, they ended up having a very small backyard ceremony. And for us, it was quite enjoyable both to photograph as well as just to witness. There’s really nothing quite so intimate and contemporary like Katie and Brian’s tiny, socially-distanced, live-streamed, backyard wedding! [ read more … ]

Despite all that 2020 has brought us, this year still has its bright spots. Amy is expecting in the next few weeks (yay!), and we went out for a maternity photo shoot to memorialize the joy and anticipation of her pregnancy journey. Since she and her husband are leaving San Francisco, we chose to take her maternity photos at Baker Beach, right in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was a maternity and family session mixed into one, made extra fun by little Benji 🙂

Bajis and Michelle’s wedding was a perfect day — elegantly styled, warmly personal, and thoughtfully socially-distanced. Even in hindsight, it’s almost unbelievable that this whole event was put together in a month and a half, after their first two venues and plans didn’t work out due to the pandemic. In addition to the family & friends who attended in person, a wider audience joined in on Zoom to celebrate together virtually. All in all, while on its surface it had the hallmarks of a 2020 wedding, at its core, Michelle and Bajis’s intimate wedding at The Club at Ruby Hill was a most timeless celebration of love and union.

Harriet & Anthony are all about each other… and food. Lots of food. In fact, at their (very thoughtfully socially distanced) backyard ceremony, they had each written individual vows — and each made plenty of mentions of food and feeding each other and more food. And they had Bobaville drinks for everyone — my kind of couple! [ read more … ]

Anne & Steve had their first official date right here on this very harbor, and they wanted to memorialize that in their wedding day. Although the ongoing pandemic kept them from hosting the full wedding reception they had envisioned with all of their guests, they still had the beautiful small wedding ceremony on kayaks exactly as they had originally wanted, on the water in Half Moon Bay’s Pillar Point Harbor, with their friend Penni performing the ceremony.
