Will & Sam’s The Club at Ruby Hill Wedding

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 … ]

Monica & Julian’s Fairview Metropolitan Wedding | Oakland Wedding Photographer

Monica & Julian’s Fairview Metropolitan wedding in Oakland was as beautiful as it was special. The day started off in Daly City where they got ready separately, then we drove over to Crown Memorial State Beach for their first look — which was perfect, be sure to check out the little squeeze 😀 — and some family and bridal party photos.

Their ceremony at Fairview Metropolitan was short and sweet, and I think captured the essence of their relationship together in a cute and entertaining way. [ read more … ]

Fast-forward to September 29 of this year, and the two tied the knot together at their beautiful The Winery SF wedding on Treasure Island! [ read more … ]

Deirdra & Andrew’s Santa Rosa Wild Oak Saddle Club Wedding

Both originally Bay Area natives, Andrew and Deirdra first met in San Francisco and their relationship blossomed here. The next chapter in their story began last year when Andrew proposed while they were in London during a trip across Europe, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to join them on their wedding day a few weeks ago at the Wild Oak Saddle Club!

The morning began at an Airbnb where Deirdra got ready with her mom and bridesmaids, and at the Flamingo where Andrew and the guys (and Lady, that cute forever puppy you see in the photos) went through their preparations. Deirdra had a not-so-little surprise for the girls: they’d be getting a ride on Rosie, the big red trolley, and they had a blast together! But first, a quick detour. Deirdra stopped by the Flamingo for a surprise first look with Andrew. It was a very sweet moment between the two of them… or three if you count Rosie 🙂 [ read more … ]
