The Norwood family recently moved to California from Texas, and I’m thrilled to shoot their yearly family photos for 2014! Peter and Jeannette are a sweet couple and Aaron was full of energy and climbed on everything he could in that park 🙂 And I have to say, Aaron was quite the model — I didn’t have to pose him or anything, my camera just loved him!

Peter, Jeannette and Aaron, welcome to the Bay Area!

Grace & Peyton are from Georgia and went to the same elementary school… how cute! They studied in college together and later moved to California. They’re having their wedding in Athens (like David & me!), and even though they just got engaged, they’re SO on top of all the wedding planning. Their wedding photographer will definitely be in for a real treat — it can’t get better than shooting the wedding of a beautiful sweet couple who have all the details carefully planned!

We met Sarah and Chris back in May and they are a super sweet couple, so we were really excited to be at their wedding. On that beautiful Saturday, I joined the girls at their bridal suite at the Stanford Park Hotel, while David went to the Church of the Nativity to prepare for shooting the ceremony. We also went with them to take a few pictures at their school, Stanford. The outdoor reception was held at Ladera Oaks Swim & Tennis Club which is quite a nice reception venue. The best man and maid of honor gave great speeches which were both emotional and hilarious, and the guests really enjoyed them — see the pics below! Later that night, the newlyweds cut the cake with a sword… yes, a sword.

Congratulations Sarah & Chris!

Inga and Alex brought four generations of their family together for us to photograph on this nice sunny evening. The kids were soooooo adorable with their cute range of expressions! Our favorite pic is the one of little James on his tricycle at the end 🙂

Cody and Audrey’s wedding reception was at MacArthur Park in Palo Alto near University Avenue. The night was a blast and the cupcakes were a hit. Cody did a great job both as the groom and as the DJ! Everybody had lots of fun. Congrats Cody and Audrey!
