Could I be any more LUCKY than to have found the cutest couple ever to usher in my wedding season of 2018?? For real!! Their chemistry, kindness and sweet aura is more than I could ask for! To make it even better...I got to shot their engagement session TODAY on St Patricks Day! YASS! Lucky for us, we also had great weather on a day that was supposed to have rained. I will be smiling many times over in the days to come when I think back on today!! Watch out Instagram, some wo

The perfect pallet of a BEAUTIFUL venue, an amazingly sexy wedding party, a breezy sunlit day, the color BLUSH & a groom that was SMITTEN by his bride!! He will be remembered by me as the "new" husband that could not keep his lips off of his Bride!! So many smiles, good friends, supportive love and even tears, the day is now complete! With memories to live on and on in our minds thru these images. Feeling pretty certain that the next time we partake from a taco truck, the

There are times that you meet a very special client and you wonder if you were friends in a past life or something? Karine was one of those people. From our late night texting to a picture of her chipped finger nail polish on wedding day, requesting we pick up the matching shade on our way there. The kind of person that you want to just stop by and visit her at her house while your in San Fransisco. You know, I look for golden sun rays in my images. I find the sun to be m

So we said...Let's do boba! From the moment that I saw Elizabeths' beautiful brown eyes, I only hoped that she would select me to be her wedding photographer. Well, we clicked...and needless to say, so did my camera!!...LOTS and LOTS of clicks later, we had an amazing engagement session at Knights Ferry followed by an absolutely beautiful wedding on Aug 26. Stanislaus Catholic Church and Greens on Tenth were simply perfect backdrops in every way...I just simply loved the fu

I had the privilege of taking pictures of one of THEE MOST darling couples and their little baby Evan yesterday at Knights Ferry! It was one of those sessions when you walk away knowing that what you got was PURE GOLD! Big thank you to little Evan who behaved so GREAT! Mommy who smiled with absolute perfection, and daddy who looked STONG, HANDSOME and STELLAR ...as I always wish for in my male models! What an amazing braid you all are weaving togehter and I cannot wait to ph

Mission San Carlos Borromeo del río Carmelo, Carmel Mission or Mission Carmel...call it what you like BUT I call it SHEER BEAUTY!! It is a Roman Catholic mission church in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Considering a venue for the spectacular event of a wedding? All I can say is that Mission Carmel should be on the list of places to see! The grounds are creamy and dreamy...the perfect backdrop for THEE most amazing pictures! See for yourself... #carmelmission #missioncarm

As wedding professionals, we all want to be a part of that amazing "A TEAM" !! The event where all the DETAILS come together just right! The perfect weather with slight shade clouds and sun peeking through, little wind, all the makeup done a few minutes ahead of schedule, every lady loves the placement of each strand of hair, colorful sunset, the flowers arriving more perfect than imagined, the custom tailoring fitting every member of the bridal party, every Pinterest idea

A "little bird" called me one day asking if I would be available on her wedding date. I was delighted to meet her and as well very happy that my calendar was open. After "connecting", we both knew that we would be the perfect team! We planned a little romantic picture day in the city. Several hours of frolicking in the wind, sipping from hot chocolate mugs and capturing every angle of love that we possibly could with Ryan...her soon to be! The "goal" was sunset at the Golde

Here comes the bride, all dressed in White (or Blush or Beige...LOL) Yes, there are still wonderful traditions that exist among our beautiful bride and grooms such as garter toss, something borrowed or blue and even, having all matching bridesmaids! But, there is a tradition that is being broken, more and more often, and it is one that all benefit from...HAVING A FIRST LOOK PRIOR TO CEREMONY!! If you are wondering if it is a good idea or not, we will always advise with a res

How beautifully wonderful the joining of families can be! In many cases, a new support group to last a lifetime! I so greatly enjoyed being a part of this wedding and seeing a mom, a husband and a daughter celebrate the joining together of each others love. You could just see the security and happiness in all of their eyes! The sun was shining, the pink was blushing, the sparkles glimmering, the young girl smiling while she put on her fancy heals and the trees standing tall
