Jake and Sophie in Soho!

We had a blast on a recent trip to New York!  We made it there to see the last of the season’s first snow…….  Jake was making snowballs as we made our way to the car at JFK ( at 11pm )

Jake at SFO……snow jacket and snow boots already on and ready to go…… and gloves to his side.  He reminded me several times that he had only been to the snow once in his ENTIRE life!

Napa Valley Wedding Photography at V. Sattui Winery

I  love my work as a Napa Wedding Photographer. The beauty of the Vineyards always inspires me, as does and the overall mood of a wine country wedding. Huanwen and Chun were especially fun to work with…..Huanwen has a wicked sense of humor, so there was lots of laughter. Here are a few faves.

Sonoma Wedding Photography at The Madrona Manor | Stephanie and Michael

We so enjoyed photographing Stephanie and Michael’s intimate Wine Country Wedding at Madrona Manor!  All of my clients are fabulous, but Stephanie and Michael were especially Zen, and very relaxed about the wedding.   They shared a room, got dressed together, and just really enjoyed the process and preparations for the ceremony.

It was wonderful to watch Stephanie admire Michael as he put on his tie, and hear Michael whisper to her how pretty she looked.    Congratulations and much happiness!

 

 

 

Vintage Engagement Session Saratoga

I had a blast with Huanwen and Chun, who’s wedding I’ll be photographing in October. We started at San Francisco City Hall with a more formal session.   Huanwen wanted an excuse to wear her gorgeous Vera Wang gown more than just once, and who could blame her!!!   For the rest of the session, we wanted to create some fun, vintage style images in the open space. We were greeted by the ever so friendly and fabulous Milk Glass Vintage Rentals….who quickly styled our vintage “set” in the hills of Saratoga.  Bridal Hair and Make-up by Mimi & Taylor.
