I love big weddings, lots of guests, a huge bridal party, all the excitement and buzz of the day – but there is something very special about small ones.  When you have the chance to strip everything away and just focus on the couple, the vows, the ring.  The day still carries the same aura of excitement when there is just two people a photographer and a wedding officiant.  This was one of those beautiful days…

Jon and Katy are two of the classiest people I know, but all their classy style doesn’t keep them from being some of the most friendly, laid-back and fun people I’ve had the privilege of knowing.  Jon and Katy threw one heck of a party from the moment I arrived at this hotel (with fantastic views of the city!), to the trolley ride, to the gorgeous reception at the Terra Gallery packed with friends and family!  This couple brings life and smiles to every situation.  Katy and Jon, I am so glad to know you two!  Congratulations!

Capturing people on their wedding day for a living always brings back good memories as pour through the year’s photographs.  As I look back on some of my favorite moments from this last year, I am so proud to have been featured once again on 100 Layer Cake and Green Wedding Shoes with two of their favorite weddings of 2012.  It has been such a fun year!!

Thanks to all the beautiful, fun and amazing people who made my job possible this last year, and here’s to 2013!

This was one epic day.  I don’t write much normally, but this time I think I’ll let the photos say it all.  Just magical.

Congratulations Dan & Marissa!!!

Ryan & Kelly your wedding was another world of awesome.  The intimate beauty this venue had to offer was perfect for your wedding, just perfect.  The redwoods towering over your ceremony, who needs flowers and tulle with this kind of awe inspiring nature?!  You two had so much fun together that day, thank you for letting me be a part of it all!

Congratulations Kelly & Ryan!!!

Peter and Vanessa, you two are such loving people!  I had a wonderful time getting to know you two better and thanks for all your kindness!  It was a privilege to be a part of your big day.  Also, on another note, Twisted Willow is a hidden gem of a place to get married!!  It’s a cozy little spot with all the right touches – beautiful gardens, a big white barn and a courtyard reminiscent of a quaint European square – love this place : )

Congratulations Peter and Vanessa!!

Relationships like Jon and Katy’s have me smiling all day long.  They have so much fun with each other!  I love the laughter and character of these photos on a cold, windy day in San Francisco…

Congratulations on your engagement you two!  I can’t wait for the wedding day, I know it’s going to be one fabulous party! : )
