Paul & Mariana have been living in the Bay Area for a few months for work. Their family is heading back to Canada in the spring so they wanted a family session in front of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Such a beautiful family, and don’t you just love their outfits?! The funny thing is that the kids’ outfits stayed clean for only one photo, then they rushed to the water and started to have fun — kids will be kids!! I loved their energy and the bond between the kids and their parents, and I sure enjoyed capturing their memories here in California!

This is a love story about a French girl and an American boy who met in Japan and have been in love ever since. Lucile and Michael’s modern travel-themed wedding was held at CuriOdyssey, witnessed and blessed by their family and friends from all around the world. They have put so much effort into the details – Lucile handmade ALL of the origami bouquets, boutonnieres, guest favors, and the centerpieces herself, and they incorporated French, American, and Japanese culture seamlessly into their wedding. Oh, and the tie that Michael wore was made of a piece of fabric from Lucile’s wedding dress! I was in full candid mode for the entire wedding because M&L really wanted organic moments of their special day. So I promise you, there is not a single posed photo here. Now, let the photos bring you back to a perfect day for a sweet couple. [ read more … ]

We met with Sadie and Beau at a coffee (bubble tea) shop a month ago and hit it off immediately. These save-the-date pictures (literally! please refer to their last picture I posted here: 10/24!) were taken at Sharon Park. Although I had shot there a few times before, this was my first time wandering into the woods, led by this sweet couple. The entire session was FULL of love and happiness, they are just so perfect for each other! [ read more … ]

Stefanie and Johnson met in Austria and they’ve been dating long distance. I’m so happy to capture their love for each other and I had so much fun watching them running around, laughing, and doing lots of jumping. Love their passion and energy!!

Their wedding is going to be in Vienna this year and it’s going to be a fun celebration, I just know so! 🙂 Congrats Stefanie and Johnson!

Mel & Chavon had their evening wedding at the beautiful Casa Real on New Year’s Eve! Mel runs her own bakery business and she stayed up all night the night before to make her gorgeous seven-tier wedding cake!! Everyone was wowed by Mel’s breathtaking creation and the decorations including the grand hanging chandelier. We spent 30 minutes in the bridal suite to take some getting ready photos right before the ceremony and got a lot of great shots. Thanks to you Mel, you’re truly a stunning bride! [ read more … ]
