Private Winery Engagement | Danielle & Justin

Danielle & Justin have such an Americana fairy tale! I immediately fell in love with Danielle and her "no nonsense" attitude when we first chatted on the phone and was so happy meeting Justin for their engagement session. He compliments her beautifully - they just work. Have you ever been around a couple and you thought to yourself, "they are perfect for each other. This is a no brainer"? That is exactly how I feel about these two.

San Francisco City Hall Elopement | Jena & Will

I pinched myself, I kid you not. Working with Jena and Will has quite frankly been one of the BEST experiences of my career. I was reconsidering shooting elopements before these two came along. I love having genuine, deep connections with my clients because it helps me tell their story and reads so true in their images. But something just hadn't been clicking with my past elopements (no pun intended).  But J+W turned that tide for me and I'm so lucky they came along!

Clos LaChance Winery Wedding | Shayna & Chris Married

Shayna and Chris had a day filled with endless amounts of laughs, tears (mostly from Chris) and insane amounts of love from their family and friends! Both Shayna and Chris opted to keep their day traditional and not see each other before the ceremony which was definitely the right and BEST choice for them, as Chris couldn't contain his emotions as Shayna walked down the aisle. Parents, wedding party, guests and myself were misty eyed as they spoke the sweetest and most sincere words to each other. It was a fairytale! 

Bay Area Watercolor Artist | Kelly Maughan Personal Brand Session

"Your smile is intoxicating". I remember saying those exact words to Kelly during our session and still feel those hold true today. A light radiates from Kelly that is indescribable. Yes, she is absolutely stunning inside and out, but the warmth that you feel when you are around her is very rare to find in such a young person. I truly feel honored that she entered my life three years ago and that I call her one of my best friends.

Spring San Ramon Wedding | Jessica & Ryan Married

I received a phone call Friday afternoon from a slightly frazzled Jessica letting me know that they were going ahead and setting up the ceremony for the rain plan. I'm not going to lie, I was confused. I had just looked at the forecast about 2 days prior and saw nothing but sunshine! But I knew that everything would be perfect and relayed that to Jessica...and let her know I would have cute clear umbrellas just in case! 

Livermore Rainy Day Wedding | Liz & Chris Married

Liz & Chris were the epitome of cool, calm and collected on their big day. It had been raining for dayssss in the Bay Area and their January 7th big day was looking to be filled with just as much rain as the days preceding it. But that didn't stop us from going with the flow and playing the rain plan by ear.

Paris on Film | Paris Destination Photography

Back in May, Rob and I had the incredible opportunity to go frolic around Europe for a few days, revisiting spots that made our hearts flutter 3 years ago and seeing, experiencing and creating new memories as well.
