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!

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 … ]

One of the best parts about my job, second to getting to know so many wonderful couples and learn their stories, is visiting new places! Sycamore Grove Park isn’t even far from home, and if you were driving by you might think it’s just another park — but inside, it’s absolutely wonderful for photos! I’m thrilled I got to spend an afternoon at this beautiful park that Liz & Paul picked for their engagement photos. [ read more … ]

We’d been excitedly looking forward to Will & Sam’s wedding for over a year now. Ever since their proposal at the Palace of Fine Arts here in San Francisco and engagement session at UCLA where they first met (and I think that’s the farthest from home we’ve ever been for an engagement shoot!), we couldn’t have been more excited for their wedding day at The Club at Ruby Hill. This venue is one of our new favorites in the East Bay, and I think you’ll quickly see why when you scroll through their photos! [ read more … ]

Lauren & Jeff did a loooooot of homework before our engagement session. (Okay, it was mostly Lauren.) She had looked through a lot of our past engagement shoots and had her eye on some Sutro Baths shots, especially those beautiful reflections that can be seen in the still pools of water. But there was one problem (actually many problems): Sutro Baths is always cold, windy, and crowded… and often foggy on top of that. [ read more … ]
