Like so many couples of the modern era, Alvin and Priya first met online. But as a couple, they very much enjoy exploring San Francisco and beyond offline, urban and nature alike (see their Mt. Tam engagement photos!). After a year and a half of planning, their Viansa Sonoma wedding had a beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking the hills of wine country, followed by a reception that was packed with fun and celebration. Their day was one filled with love and romance! [ read more … ]

We love springtime weddings. The lush greenery, puffy clouds, and gentle sun make such a pleasing atmosphere, and it created a perfect setting for Zach and Jenn’s wedding at The Palm Event Center. If people were seasons, Zach and Jenn would be spring — they’re both so easygoing and cheerful, not only as individuals, but also as a couple. Actually, one interesting thing we noticed is that in so many of their photos, the expressions and smiles on their faces mirror each other from frame to frame. It’s truly delightful to see that kind of shared energy! [ read more … ]

Nicole & Amir’s Garden Valley Ranch wedding was the first time we visited this hidden gem of a venue, and it couldn’t have been with a more lovely couple! Nicole and Amir are probably our nerdiest bride & groom (and smartest too — but they won’t tell you that!), and we had a blast photographing their wedding. Since their engagement shoot a year ago, we’ve been eagerly awaiting their wedding day, and it finally arrived. [ read more … ]

Annie and Kevin got married a few years ago, but they never got around to taking photos in San Francisco… so we set out to fix that last week! These two were a bunch of fun and full of giggles, like they had just gotten married yesterday. I loved capturing all of their little kisses and smiles, and the beautiful skies certainly didn’t hurt. Here are a few of my favorites from their shoot at a couple of my favorite spots in SF 🙂

It’s strange how some long wedding days can go by so quickly, and Jeffrey & Julie’s wedding was definitely one of those. We met up with them in the morning at Hayes Mansion, where the emotional tone for the rest of the day was quickly set with Julie’s reveal with her bridesmaids & bridesmen, followed by her very heartfelt speech thanking each of them for being a part of her journey over the years. J&J’s first look was a very touching one, and after that we lost count of how many times Jeffrey cried and laughed at the same time throughout the day. The mansion was a perfect place for all of this plus lots of portraits for everyone — both the beautiful interior and clean exterior are just so ideal for photos!

Though this first part of their wedding day was quiet and relaxed, it was a great lead-in to the ceremony & reception at The GlassHouse SJ, where the energy really picked up, especially during the reception which included a spectacularly-performed surprise lion dance as well as some pretty incredible dancing [ read more … ]
