Bob got in touch with me late last year for his upcoming proposal. He had a vision of a nighttime surprise proposal in the backyard of the house he and Kristin had recently bought, and he even sent over inspiration photos and a detailed document showing and describing how the setup would look. I was super excited to capture this moment for the two of them, and his plan finally came to fruition last weekend.

Last weekend, Brianna & Clint had a sweet ceremony with just a few family members. Originally they were planning on having it on the beach, but due to possible rain, relocated and had their intimate wedding at Shelldance Orchid Gardens in Pacifica instead. Although it didn’t end up raining, the greenhouse worked out just perfectly — I think better than any beach I’ve ever shot at! [ read more … ]
