Stephanie & David’s love story began with her waiting in line for coffee one Sunday afternoon with Murphy, her adorable Yorkie. David bumped into them, fell in love with Murphy (who wouldn’t!?) and Stephanie, and the rest is history. So it’s only appropriate that we included some coffee time with the pooch in their engagement session! [ read more … ]

J&J’s engagement session was a dream! I still can hardly believe how magical the day was. When I woke up that morning, the fog was so incredibly thick that I actually called to see if they wanted to reschedule, and they decided to go through with it anyway. When we arrived at Baker Beach, we were greeted by one of the clearest, most beautiful skies of the season! For the next couple of hours, we covered some picturesque spots around San Francisco and had a lot of fun in the process. I really loved their props, especially the cheerful sun and cloud balloons, and am overjoyed with how great they look in these photos. Take a look below!

I love couples who incorporate a lot of family and friends into their wedding. Ted & Danielle’s wedding was so much fun and so personal. Winston, their officiant, was a longtime family friend who had known Danielle her whole life. His words were sentimental yet funny, and everyone loved what he had to say.

Kelly & Brendan… where do I start? Usually, after I first meet with a couple, I start to get excited about their engagement session and the upcoming wedding. With Kelly & Brendan, we didn’t even have to get that far. Before we met for our initial consultation, as David and I were reading their story and how they met each other, we already knew K&B were the perfect couple for us — and for each other!

Our featured couple this week is Sarah & Jonathan. After getting ready separately early in the day, they had a cute first look in front of Tower Hall, on the San Jose State University campus where they first met. We then went over to the San Jose Woman’s Club where their family & friends were gathered for their ceremony. After reading their vows, exchanging rings, and communion, Sarah & Jonathan celebrated by having one of their favorite treats: a 7-Eleven slurpee! [ read more … ]
