The best way to describe Jane and David is a power couple. They’re from New York. They both work in finance. They’re clearly beautiful. Jane met David when she was intern and he was a manager (though not hers). Despite denying being interested in each other to their coworkers, they eventually started dating. Four years […]
I save a lot of pictures of my friends on my phone. Most of these photos are not when my friends are “photo ready.” But if I look good in said photo, that’s definitely the one I’m posting on Facebook for their birthday π But these moments make me laugh. So please enjoy the not-so-magazine-worthy, […]
You, your family, and the family you’re now a part of – all you really need on a wedding day. And a giant Christmas tree because it’s a December Wedding after all. Francis and Kelly had a small ceremony at SF City Hall. They’d have a reception a few days later with more friends, but […]
The first time I talked to Allison on the phone, she told me about how cool and confident Jen seemed when they first met. And she claimed that she liked Jen from the very beginning. Seeing Jen effortlessly spin glowing bulbs of light on their wedding day, it was clear that Allison’s first impression was […]
This wedding was everything San Francisco. Camille and Bryan exchanged rings at SF’s iconic City Hall. The seating chart detailed a map of the peninsula. The tables were named after popular San Francisco streets. And they finished the celebration in Fisherman’s Wharf, right next to the Pacific ocean and Ghirardelli’s Square. The details were absolutely […]
So this lovely lady messaged me and within days we met up, shot some magic, and her final gallery is sent to her less than a week later! The first time I had professional photos taken of me was with my two closest friends as a 16th birthday present. I remember how excited and impatient […]
As I waited in Saint Mary’s Chapel for the beginning of the wedding ceremony, one of the guests gestured to me. “Have you met the bride?” he asked excitedly, “She’s absolutely gorgeous.” I told him that I had met the bride before and agreed with him – Denae is stunning. And the best thing is […]
I have a tendency to agree to large commitments, panic, and then barely pull them off. That is the anthem of any testing season for me. My dad and I signed up to rent wetsuits, take a boat to Alcatraz, and swim back to San Francisco months in advance. Three weeks before the big event, […]
RECOMMENDED TIME 30 MINUTES I usually photograph the venue setup before the ceremony π This way I can take empty room shots before your guests arrive. This time also gives the bride and groom a chance to breathe, relax, and prepare before the ceremony starts. This is Part 5 of my series βWhat Brides Should […]
Brittany’s bouquet had succulents that she grew herself. Their tables had wooden centerpieces Karl had prepared by hand. They used Brittany’s mom’s recipe, a recipe Brittany had used since childhood, to make mini cakes with actual vanilla beans. Karl even had limited edition blue shoes shipped from New York. After all, they had “super stupendous […]
