Fred & Jessica’s Wedding at the Outdoor Art Club | Mill Valley Photographer

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!

Sarah & Chris’s Wedding | Church of the Nativity, Stanford, & Ladera Oaks

We met Sarah and Chris back in May and they are a super sweet couple, so we were really excited to be at their wedding. On that beautiful Saturday, I joined the girls at their bridal suite at the Stanford Park Hotel, while David went to the Church of the Nativity to prepare for shooting the ceremony. We also went with them to take a few pictures at their school, Stanford. The outdoor reception was held at Ladera Oaks Swim & Tennis Club which is quite a nice reception venue. The best man and maid of honor gave great speeches which were both emotional and hilarious, and the guests really enjoyed them — see the pics below! Later that night, the newlyweds cut the cake with a sword… yes, a sword.

Congratulations Sarah & Chris!

Nora & John’s California Hornblower Cruise Wedding | San Francisco Bay Photographer

Nora and John had a very intimate wedding with their family as guests on board the California Hornblower this July as the cruise ship sailed around the San Francisco Bay visiting landmarks like Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather that evening was excellent, and the fog didn’t roll in until after the ceremony was finished so we were fortunate enough to have the gorgeous Bay Bridge and skyline as the backdrop to the ceremony. Congrats Nora and John!
