Ashley and Jared!

What a sweet couple! Ashley really had some definite wishes for their portrait session and we were on a tight timeline, but somehow we kept up with the time limits and managed to get everything they wanted out of our portrait session. Ashley kept a smile and the whole bridal party had a blast despite all the running around!

Suzi and Mark

I just loved this location! Suzi is a friend of a friend and she had asked me for location advice telling me she wanted a barn setting. I had given her some ideas, but she found this wonderful location on her own and I loved photographing there! The setting for Suzi and Mark’s wedding is the rustic old stable at Rancho Wikiup in Windsor. Sorry, but I couldn’t find a link to include here! Congratulations Suzi and Mark!

Amy and Neal

I’ve never photographed a wedding at One Fort Mason in SF and couldn’t believe the ceremony site! The best ceremony site view in SF by far! Good choice Amy and Neal and congratulations!

This wedding came to me via Elizabeth Bainbridge of 2 the 9s Events. She’s a wedding coordinator in SF and a friend of the bride and groom. I’m always flattered when a wedding coordinator refers me to one of their friends.  Besides Amy and Neal being so sweet and fun, it was fun to watch and record how close they were to their parents. Another special part of this wedding was that the catering staff was super nice and helpful when I wanted to photograph the food!

Caterer:  Work of Art
Florist: La Fleuriste

Hair and makeup: Sarah Hyde of sHe

Dress designer:  Scala

Amanda and Dion!

Oh how I love Healdsburg Country Gardens! It’s such a pretty location. Amanda and Dion are such a great couple and Dion has two wonderful children as well. This was a family and friend affair with lots of pretty details and color. The design and details were created by Amanda and a family team (such good style and taste). Wedding coordination by Elsa Vera Productions, Catering: Grapevine Catering, Florist: Dragonfly, Band: Max Perkhoff Trio, Baker: Downtown Bakery and Creamery, Healdsburg. I love chocolate cakes!
