Anne & Zach | St. Anselm Church and Deer Park Villa Wedding

Anne and Zach got married at the St. Anselm Church in Marin County, where Zach grew up. The two currently live in LA and flew in for their wedding, so the entire week was full of celebration! We can only imagine how fun the week must have been because Anne & Zach, along with their family and friends, sure knew how to party! Everyone we met at the wedding was a lot of fun, and once we got to the reception at Deer Park Villa, they all showed off their great dancing skills! [ read more … ]

Austin & Brittany’s Beach Sunset Engagement Photos

Austin and Brittany planned a destination wedding (in Mexico!!), and wanted to have their save-the-date/engagement photos taken near the Golden Gate Bridge. We drove along the windy road near Battery Spencer up to the top with the tunnels where Austin proposed, then headed back to Baker Beach to run around and bury our feet in the sand. Luck was with us, and instead of a typically foggy summer day in San Francisco, we got a stunningly beautiful sky!! [ read more … ]

Kristen & Mark’s Sailboat Engagement Photos at Coyote Point Marina | Bay Area Wedding Photographer

A few days before their engagement session, Kristen and Mark emailed us and requested a change of plans — instead of shooting in the city, they wanted to have their engagement photos taken on a sailboat that they just bought. David and I said to ourselves, “OMG yes please!!!” We’ve always wanted to shoot some romantic and fun photos on the water, and a sailboat is such an ideal spot! The water at the Coyote Point Marina was calm and serene, the weather was clear, and the sun was golden. Kristen and Mark couldn’t have picked a better spot, and more importantly, they as a couple turned this session into perfection! They way they looked at each other and made each other smile and laugh was memorably cute. They’re such a great match! [ read more … ]

Catherine & Ryan’s Save-the-Date Photos at Baker Beach | San Francisco Portrait Photographer

Ryan followed Catherine to California from Omaha over a year ago. He just moved back to Omaha the weekend after our photo shoot, and this time, Catherine will follow him there. They decided to have their save-the-date photos taken at Baker Beach to document their wonderful journey together here in the Bay Area. The day was a little overcast which made Catherine’s dress color pop in the photos (really pretty!) AND more importantly, we got the whole beach completely to ourselves and got some great shots!

Sadie & Beau’s Save the Date Photos at Sharon Park | Bay Area Engagement Photographer

We met with Sadie and Beau at a coffee (bubble tea) shop a month ago and hit it off immediately. These save-the-date pictures (literally! please refer to their last picture I posted here: 10/24!) were taken at Sharon Park. Although I had shot there a few times before, this was my first time wandering into the woods, led by this sweet couple. The entire session was FULL of love and happiness, they are just so perfect for each other! [ read more … ]
