Julie + Eddie {Engaged} San Francisco, CA

Fun engagement session in San Francisco with these two, capturing them on rooftops, to the Palace of Fine Arts, to the beach. Even more fun that I’ve known Julie since middle school! Stoked for these two and their wedding in June…

Justin + Carrie {Engaged} San Luis Obispo

A dear friend and his bride to be on the windy golden hills of San Luis Obispo and downtown. I’m so happy for these two and so privileged to capture these photos of them!

Brett + Rachel {Healdsburg, CA}

Rachel and Brett’s beautiful garden wedding was such a great September day. The coral and blue colors fit perfectly with their barn/garden outdoor setting. Rachel was a neighbor of mine when we were growing up in Pleasanton. It’s so fun to see childhood friends as happy as she and Brett were on their wedding day!  Congratulations to you both! It was such a privilege to be part of your day!

Chris + Brooke [Oak Creek Golf Club Irvine, CA]

I love being able to capture a friend’s wedding day. Chris and Brooke have such a sweet and joyful love for each other. You can see it clearly in their smiles when they are with each other. The groom might have cried more times that day than the bride. 😉 Such an awesome time with them. It was an honor to be a part of their wedding day!
