Kris & Brandy tied the knot at the Chanslor Ranch in Bodega Bay! Brandy was a pro at crafting and made all the centerpieces and all of the bouquets & boutonnières herself!!! The rustic ranch with all the sweet personal touches was the perfect setting to exchange their vows. Sunflowers everywhere, LOVE! That wedding gown, LOVE! That wedding cake with sunflowers and horseshoes, LOVE! The cowboy boots and hats, LOVE! What’s not to love about this wedding?

Congratulations Kris and Brandy!!!

Jazzmine said YES to Carlos’s proposal!! This was a such a special day for them — Carlos chose their 6th anniversary to pop the question! Isn’t that sweet?! And with the scenic view and a romantic foggy day on top of the hill, Shadowbrook was a perfect place for this exciting moment.

I arrived at Shadowbrook just as they opened to keep the little patio area clear. Luckily, it was very quiet and intimate so the proposal went very smoothly!

Congratulations Jazzmine and Carlos! Wish you two many happy days to come!!

I photographed Ruth’s maternity session back in late July. About a month later little Xavier came to this world a little earlier than planned. So when Ruth contacted me, I was super excited to meet him!

He is so tiny that you just can’t help to love and protect him. Life is really precious and wonderful!

Meet Xavier… Ta-dah!

A & F’s wedding ceremony was held in the Santa Clara county chapel. It was a very touching one – there was not a dry eye in the room and their friend did an amazing job by singing All of Me to conclude the ceremony! The reception was then held at the rooftop patio at the Loft Bar & Bistro where many more of their friends joined in.

A & F, I adore the deep love between you, and I wish you two (and the little plus one that is on the way) all the best!! Congrats 🙂

Fred & Jessica flew in from the East Coast for their wedding in Marin County three weeks ago. Their wedding was a special one, with the ceremony being held under a canopy built by their family. The Outdoor Art Club‘s event coordinator did a great job with the beautiful floral arrangements, and I really loved Jessica’s stunning dress, especially from the back! Congrats to Fred & Jessica and the entire family!
