Ashley & Paul’s Wedding at Oceano Hotel | Half Moon Bay Wedding Photographer

Ashley and Paul held their wedding at Oceano Hotel & Spa, one of my favorite wedding venues in the Bay Area. Their navy blue and yellow themed wedding was a gorgeous affair, and the color coordination could be seen throughout the wedding, from the bridesmaid dresses to the floral arrangement, from their wedding cake to the centerpieces. AND, the Irish band at their dance party was definitely a hit! [ read more … ]

David & Jeremy | San Francisco Kite Hill Surprise Marriage Proposal

Let me start this by saying David and Jeremy’s proposal was an extremely emotional one, probably the most touching I’ve ever seen! How great was it, you ask? I couldn’t even see through my camera viewfinder at some points during David’s proposal because I was tearing up! I was so touched by the mad love between these two. David caught Jeremy off guard with this great surprise on their date night, and Jeremy was completely in shock! After responding with a yes, Jeremy decided to bend down on his knee to ask David the same question — so precious!!

D&J, your genuine love for each other created a magical moment that we’ll never forget. I’m so happy to announce that David and Jeremy are engaged!!!

E & A | Surprise Engagement Proposal at Battery Spencer

E&A flew in from Alabama for a trip to San Francisco for the Giants games, but little did she know, he had the proposal all planned out several weeks in advance! On the big day, the couple walked up to the overlook at Battery Spencer with its stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog was perfect — just enough to give them that perfect, soft light, and to give that romantic aura over the bridge. The timing of the fog was perfect too: literally within 20 minutes of their arrival, the bridge disappeared in the fog. I’m so happy that SF will mean a lot to them from this day forward 🙂

The two of them were so happy and are just perfect for each other. Congrats to E&A!
