I loved how Amanda and Petrus’s Casa Real wedding was filled from beginning to end with tons of little moments that made this day uniquely theirs. Ten minutes into getting ready and we already knew this was going to be an incredible wedding. You see, most photos we take at weddings don’t need captions, but I think a few of these photos might leave viewers puzzled otherwise… and that’s how you know this day was a great one!

I had such a great time with Sophia during her maternity milk bath photo shoot. It was slow-paced (at least compared to the proposals and weddings I’m used to!), relaxing, and really enjoyable — we bonded as mothers between shots, and talked about our birth stories and other… motherly things.

A special San Francisco rooftop proposal for an extra-special couple! Nils reserved the garden area of the Fairmont Hotel to share a private moment together with Diane, and he had it set up perfectly: a table in front of the fountain prepared with champagne, some light bites, and a beautiful vase of flowers, all in a peaceful setting with just the calming sound of the fountain behind them.

Amanda and Brandon met up with us for their engagement photo shoot in San Francisco by the ocean. Her long blue dress worked perfectly in the ocean breeze and the colorful sunset sky, but of course more important is Amanda & Brandon’s love for each other. And I loved that they were able to goof around with each other a bit too. They sure warmed up an otherwise cold San Francisco day!

This shoot was made a little more special by their German Shepherd, Diesel. [ read more … ]

We first met with Christine and Dennis almost exactly a year before their Nella Terra Cellars wedding, and we instantly loved how they interacted and the way they described their story together. They had gotten engaged a year before that on a hike near the ice fields in Banff during golden hour, which sounds like a page right out of my bucket list! Christine admits she should have been suspicious since Dennis never suggests hiking, but perhaps it’s good to be caught off guard on occasions like this 🙂 [ read more … ]
