Both originally Bay Area natives, Andrew and Deirdra first met in San Francisco and their relationship blossomed here. The next chapter in their story began last year when Andrew proposed while they were in London during a trip across Europe, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to join them on their wedding day a few weeks ago at the Wild Oak Saddle Club!

The morning began at an Airbnb where Deirdra got ready with her mom and bridesmaids, and at the Flamingo where Andrew and the guys (and Lady, that cute forever puppy you see in the photos) went through their preparations. Deirdra had a not-so-little surprise for the girls: they’d be getting a ride on Rosie, the big red trolley, and they had a blast together! But first, a quick detour. Deirdra stopped by the Flamingo for a surprise first look with Andrew. It was a very sweet moment between the two of them… or three if you count Rosie 🙂 [ read more … ]

We’ve adored Adam & Anna’s love story since the moment we met them. Anna’s family has been beekeepers for several generations, and Adam proposed with jars of A&A’s very first batch of honey. We photographed their engagement session at Anna’s parents’ home, right where their bees are kept. And so it should come as no surprise that cute little bee-related details made their way into A-squared’s wedding day too.

Anna & Adam’s first look was one of our favorite first looks ever. [ read more … ]

This July was packed with some of our most memorable weddings ever, and I honestly can’t imagine a better way to finish the month than with a roadtrip for Brooke & Brandon’s Lake Tahoe wedding at The Chateau at Incline Village.

We actually photographed their surprise proposal last year, and we loved the extensive and thoughtful planning that went into making an incredible day extra special. We knew that day that these two were perfect for each other, but it wasn’t until their Lake Tahoe wedding [ read more … ]
