The spotlight of this post shines on Sarah & Rob, who had their glamorous and stylish wedding when they tied the knot last month at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. With their theme of “Hollywood Glamour,” the couple encouraged their guests to be as fashionable as they wanted, which definitely added to the classy air of the wedding. I really loved the bridesmaids’ dresses as well — each a little unique, but all very elegant and true to the theme! [ read more … ]

Simran had been planning his romantic Labor Day weekend surprise to his girlfriend Amita for more than a month, and contacted us after deciding on the San Jose Rose Garden. The Rose Garden is really great this time of year, as it’s covered with flowers of all colors in full bloom. The couple strolled through the garden taking lots of flower photos (Amita had actually gotten a new camera!) while we followed loosely behind. When the time came, under the soft sunset light, Simran got down on his knee and popped the question! Congrats you two — you’re too cute!

On a gorgeous autumn day in Capitola, Beau and Sadie tied the knot at Monarch Cove Inn, the perfect venue for their intimate garden wedding by the ocean.

Sadie and Beau are big fans of Burning Man and they had made a group of super fun friends there. Beau used to carry a huge spoon to parties and would talk friends into drinking by saying, “It’s just a spoonful!” Sadly, that original big spoon eventually broke, so their friends got them a new gigantic spoon as a wedding gift and seeing everyone drinking out of the spoon was definitely a huge hit at their reception!!

I had a fun session with Julie and Eric’s beautiful family! With Christmas just around the corner, Julie’s parents were visiting them in town, and the rain stopped just in time for their photo shoot. Little Lillian is soooo cute! She is a very happy baby and didn’t mind laughing in front of my cameras. Her tiny, adorable red polka dot dress made her pop in all the photos and was very Christmas-y!

Happy holidays everyone!  🙂  🙂  🙂

Megan & David have been married for two years and have been in the Bay Area for a year, so this was a good time to get some great couple photos. We went out for a portrait session at the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden in Palo Alto during the beautiful fall season. They brought their adorable and very well-behaved dog along which was a lot of fun, and even bought him a cute hoodie with ear flaps for this shoot! It was well worth the investment as we got a lot of great shots. See their photos below:
