Alan and Irene’s wedding day was a love letter to Sacramento, where they each grew up and where they first met in high school. Their wedding day started off at The Citizen Hotel, right in the heart of downtown. Getting ready there already felt special, but the real magic happened when they tucked away for their first look in the hotel’s little library. Alan and Irene saw each other for the first time in the quietest, sweetest way: just the two of them, flanked by shelves of books. It was intimate, personal, and so them… especially for two people who clearly love a good story. [ read more … ]

Quincy & Kim’s wedding felt like a little slice of Hawaii tucked onto the cliffs of Half Moon Bay. We first met them on the ocean bluffs of Davenport when Quincy proposed, so getting to photograph this next chapter of their story by the water again felt extra special. [ read more … ]

Kathy and Arno’s fall vineyard wedding at Viansa Sonoma was everything we hoped it would be for them: joyfully heartfelt, elegantly designed, and thoughtfully personal. If you know Kathy, you know she lives and breathes weddings; as the “K” of Experiences by K, she’s the mastermind behind some of the most seamless and beautiful celebrations we’ve photographed over the years. We’ve worked with Kathy, Arno, and the team on so many proposals and weddings that showing up for their big day felt like photographing family. [ read more … ]

Justin and Winny’s wedding at Casa Real was everything we could hope for from a couple who has literally grown up together. These two actually met back in middle school, when Justin got in trouble for being disruptive and was assigned a new seat… directly behind Winny. In hindsight, maybe not the most effective disciplinary strategy if the goal was to minimize distraction 😂 [ read more … ]

Josephine & Jonathan’s wedding was an amazing, memorable celebration that we enjoyed absolutely every moment of. Their day started off at the Palace Hotel, where J&J shared a poignant set of private vows in the room, just the two of them, and it set the tone for everything that followed. From there we headed to Golden Gate Park, where we got caught some warm sunshine for photos in the Shakespeare Garden, before heading over to their wedding at the California Academy of Sciences. We even got to roam the living roof for portraits, which we’ve never had access to before, so shooting here with the wind lifting Josephine’s veil and the round skylights dotting the hillside was both a surprise and a delight!
