Bonnie and Jud (and their dog Georgia) decided to have me document a beautiful moment of theirs before their first baby girl Vivian arrives in this world. Let these photos remind us all how beautiful motherhood is!

Vivian, I can’t wait to meet you in a month 🙂 I bet Georgia is anxious to share some love with her little master too!

Hannah and Daren live in the city and took me to a hidden spot in their neighborhood — the colorful tiled steps on 16th Ave. We walked over the top of the steps and around a hill that had a breathtaking view overlooking San Francisco, and we ended our session at Sutro Baths as the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.

Vineesha loves art and art galleries, and she also has a special bond with New York so Ankit incorporated all these elements into his surprise proposal. He chose the Christopher Hill Gallery in Healdsburg, where the two had their first date. Ankit asked an artist to draw four paintings that were originally photos with a special meaning to them. With the help of the amazing staff at the gallery, scattered hints were left here and there for the couple to find as they walked around. Ankit guided Vineesha into a back room where two final pieces were waiting for them. Vineesha knew something was up as soon as she saw the painting of herself and the look on her face was priceless!! Ankit popped the question while she was still in shock and of course she said yes! Ankit also arranged for their family and friends to join them shortly after the proposal. Champagne, cupcakes, happy tears, and lots of blessing — it made our day 🙂

I can’t wait to share with you Van and Matt’s stunning wedding photos! Their wedding was like a dream come true with a breathtaking chapel ceremony and a reception that was full of surprises. It started with a DIY boozequet that Van made herself — a beautiful, handcrafted silk bridal bouquet with a metal straw for drinking the beer cleverly hidden in the base… genius! She also designed her own dress, incorporating Vietnamese culture into their American-style wedding. [ read more … ]

We strolled around Baker Beach for some fun photo time with Doug, Liz, and their handsome Corgi mix, Tank. Doug and Liz are an outdoorsy couple who love craft beer, so for their engagement session, we photographed them sitting on the beach watching the sunset, drinking their beloved craft beer in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, and running around playing with Tank!
