My second favorite thing about being a photographer, right after getting to witness life’s happy moments for amazing couples, is constantly visiting beautiful new places. The Cypress Tree Tunnel at the Point Reyes National Seashore has been a sight I’ve been wanting to see for ages, so imagine my excitement when I heard from Joey!

When Joey and I talked, he wasn’t looking for suggestions or ideas… no, he knew the Cypress Tree Tunnel was going to be the spot. And for good reason — it’s incredible! [ read more … ]

When Matt told me about his proposal plan involving two dogs, I knew this was going to be a challenging shoot, but this combination of dogs and a proposal, two of my favorite things, is pretty much off-the-charts awesome.

I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to take a trip up to Napa Valley and photograph this wonderful moment for Jake & Jenna this past weekend! They flew in from the east coast, and after checking out San Francisco, visited the cute little town of Yountville for a perfect dinner at The French Laundry. [ read more … ]

Richard and I had talked a lot about his proposal plan and what was going to happen: he and Cheramie would hike to the top of Slackers Hill where I’d be waiting with my assistant, they’d have a few moments to themselves before he proposed, then we’d all try to race over to a romantic sunset dinner before, well, the sunset.

Oh, how I was caught off guard. [ read more … ]
