Ashwin flew from London to San Francisco last weekend to give Chai the sweetest surprise!

The two first met each other in London when they were 15, then reconnected a few years ago… which sounds uncannily similar to the story of yours truly! After lots of planning and help from Chai’s friends, Ashwin was ready to give her a huge surprise at the top of the Lyon Street Steps. He even flew his family all the way from London and hers from Seattle for their post-proposal dinner, all unbeknownst to her — she thought he was asleep in London! [ read more … ]

Check out these beautiful portraits of Sarah and Rob at the Legion of Honor and Sutro Baths. I really like the contrast between their outfits and the environment! These two are so in love, and I enjoyed every minute of photographing them. Can’t wait for their wedding later this year 🙂

Meet four-day-old Maximus — Xavier’s new little brother! It’s been a pleasure documenting Ruth’s family every few months for the past two years. I was so happy to meet this little guy and as you can see, so was his big brother!!

Lots of kisses and snuggles and TONS of love 🙂

Joe & Stefanie held their wedding ceremony at the grand Stanford Memorial Church, and they hosted their reception at Dyker Beach Golf Course on the other side of the continent a week later in order to include all of their friends & family. Flying to New York marked my first destination wedding trip of 2016 and I’m super excited to be back to share these photos! [ read more … ]

Dylan surprised Christina with a stunning ring on his “business trip” last weekend! Earlier that day, Annie and I had been checking the hourly weather forecast every 15 minutes because there was an up-to-90% chance of showers at 5pm when Dylan was supposed to drop down on his knee. By the time we arrived at the cliffs at around 4, it was already pouring and the wind was crazy.

If there ever was a time for me to have been thankful for the awful Bay Area traffic, this was it. [ read more … ]
