I can’t think of a better location for sharing your first sunset as husband and wife than this mountain top overlooking all of Mt. Diablo State Park. Congratulations Courtney and Thy, your wedding was beautiful in every way. More to come!
Exactly one year ago today, I photographed this beautiful wedding at the Stanford Memorial Church and the Menlo Circus Club. I’ve been meaning to catch up on my blog for months now, and I can’t think of a better way to begin than with this little anniversary gift post for Christy and Jeff to help them re-live their amazing day.
Melissa and Casey’s winery wedding was been featured on Style Unveiled today and I couldn’t be more grateful for Melissa’s kind words, her impeccable sense of style and her amazing event design and co-ordination abilities that made this wedding such an beautiful one. See the full post here.
This may have been one of the hottest weddings we’ve ever photographed but it was definitely one of the funnest! The 102 degree heat was not going to wilt the spirits of Lara and Anthony, nor their awesome bridal party, nor their beautiful florals that were created and keep well-watered by by Nicole Ha. I just loved these two and their day full of silly faces, sexy poses, romantic details, amazing food, heartfelt speeches and raunchy hip hop, all of which truly reflected the kind of couple they are. I have so many more beautiful details and memorable moments to share….but here’s a tiny little preview of what’s to come.
I had to add this one too: we were doing formal portraits when Lara’s cousins suddenly all turned around,
pulled things out of their pockets and surprised Lara and Anthony with a whole lotta facial hair…cousin portrait FTW!
Kendra and Nick flew all the way from Germany for their Rancho Soquel wedding right here in Santa Cruz, since this is the town where they first met. I have to say that their day could not have been any more beautiful, nor more fun! There were too many amazing details and dancefloor highlights to count, some of which may have involved a flash mob dance and some German dance music that half of the crowd knew the lyrics to…full photographic evidence coming soon but in the meantime, here’s a tiny little sneak peek of the golden hour with Kendra and Nick. They’re just the sweetest couple, and Gabe and I loved documenting their day.
Shannon and Jeff are just the nicest people and they got the beautiful weather that they deserved for their wedding at the Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay. The coast was blanketed with fog throughout the morning, but some warm rays of sunshine and a blue sky appeared as if on cue just as their ceremony was about to begin. Here’s a tiny little sneak peek from when we stole these two high school sweethearts away to get their feet in the sand just before the sun set into the Pacific. A big thanks to Adrianna and her team at Dream A LIttle Dream Events for adding some extra dreaminess to the day, it couldn’t have been any better. More to come soon!
Jenny & Rishi’s wedding was honestly one of the most joyful, heartfelt, and beautiful events that I’ve ever documented, and I already know that I’m going to need to do a series of posts just so that I can share all of the amazing details and moments from their day at the Carneros Inn in Napa. I can’t wait to share some images from both their Indian and Western ceremonies, as well as all that fun that was had on the dance floor, but in the meantime here’s a little preview from when we snuck Jenny & Rishi away from the reception for a few moments so that they could take in their first sunset together as husband and wife.
* A huge thanks to Laurel and her team at Esla Events for making the day flow so smoothly look so lovely, and to Gabe and Ari for helping me capture it all.

Jackie and Matt flew out from Tennessee to get married at Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz this past weekend and they got the idyllic Californian weather that they deserved. Gabe and I absolutely loved spending the day documenting their beautiful wedding, here’s a little sneak peek from the golden hour…more to come!
