Just something fun I put together in celebration of the last few years. Here’s to an exciting 2010 Wedding season……. and lots of fabulous new clients!
I am blessed with fabulous clients who are a joy to work with! The lovely Vanessa and handsome Douglas will be getting married in May, and I am even more excited than ever to work with them on the big day! Here’s a few from their recent engagement session.

Beautiful work as always!
I’m so excited that Kimberly’s May wedding is almost here! She booked me 15 months ago, so it’s almost surreal that the big day is right around the corner. Since I also offer bridal make up services to my clients through Spa Voutique, we decided to schedule a trial run. The fabulous Holly with “I Do! Bridal” will be doing Kim’s hair on the wedding day, so we scheduled her trial run for hair the same day. It only seemed fitting to get a few shots of her looking fabulous! Thanks Kim for a fun day!

Stunning! Love the saturated colors and the makeup looks gorgeous!
While recently scouting out locations for upcoming bridal and engagement sessions, I couldn’t help but stop and take a few photos!
The Del Dotto Estate in St. Helena is stunning. I didn’t have time to venture inside, but I will be back for sure! The caves are lined with italian marble and ancient tiles. Had I gone in, I may have never left. I hear the Venetian chandeliers and marble floors are spectacular.
I have some fabulous clients coming out from New York for an August wedding at Tra Vigne in St. Helena. This one is for you!
Domaine Chandon Winery in Yountville was bustling with happy people enjoying the gorgeous day and sparkling wine. I loved the cement mushrooms…….
Nickel & Nickel Vineyards. Loved it!

We celebrated Sophie’s 2nd birthday on Sunday! Such a big girl now, and cute beyond words. I love you Sophie!

Oh, my… this little miss has grown into such a lovely young lady. Of course she’s beautiful… it’s in the genes! Josh says hubba hubba! Happy Birthday Sophie!
It’s always fun to come across an older image that you love and see it with new eyes………..then process it differently than the original version. Voila! Something old becomes something new! This is one of my favorite wedding dance images of all time. Margo’s dress had a twirl quality to it that many wedding dresses don’t have these days. The low light, combined with slow shutter speed, and quick movements helped to create the image.

I couldn’t wait to post this uber cool urban wedding at The Four Season Silicon Valley. The yummy treats were simply divine. Thanks to Kim with Mill Cottage Photography for having me along! Kudos to the catering staff at the Four Seasons for the most delicious blueberry tart ever.

sultry is right! Glad to see you got to photograph yet another lovely girl! I bet she loves these images!
Nestldown in Los Gatos is a spectacular wedding venue! Nestled in the redwoods and surrounded by flowers and orchards, it is truly a magical place. I had a wonderful time shooting with fellow photographer and friend, Kim of Mill Cottage Photography. These gorgeous florals were just the splash of color I needed to brighten my day!

Seeing these images always makes me catch my breath! It is always wonderful to work together! Our clients are soooooo lucky!
They say that the wedding day is all about the bride……and that’s mostly true. I love creating beautiful, timeless images of the bride and couple. However, when I get a groom willing to rock the camera, I am so there! During the reception, I wanted to create some edgy video light shots featuring Jeramy’s tattoos. He was more than happy to sneak away with his gorgeous bride for a few minutes to create these images. This is something I talk about with my clients ahead of time, as creating images like this means taking the time out to do them. They are not candid, and can’t be created without client participation. After I took a few shots of Jeramy, Sarah joined in and we were able to create a romantic and sexy image for them. One of my favorites for sure! Of course, there is plenty of time in the day for fabulous candid photography too! I’ll be talking about scheduling time within the wedding day to create images like this in San Francisco, at PPGBA February 25th. If you’re a photographer and would like to hear more about this and other important topics…..we hope to see you there!
And because this flower girl was so darn cute, I had to include this one!

LOVE the shot of his hand on her back. The circle of his ring, up to the triangle of the dress and skin, up to the circle (and even the “X”) ON the dress make for such an artistic statement. Gorgeous.

Amazing photography. Of course, how could you go wrong with such a gorgeous bride and groom, not to mention the adorable flower girl! I may be predjudiced since they are my family, but the photos were so breathtaking and so different and artistic compared to your everyday wedding photos. It captured the day perfectly!
Maybe it was the downtown Napa location that inspired the vintage feel for this wedding. Maybe it was that we started so early in the morning before the hustle and bustle. The Sunday morning quiet, and crisp morning light is what made the first image possible.

que bella!! I love the image with the church! That nice quiet soft morning light in Napa is completely heavenly!
If you’re a bride in love with all things vintage, Adorn Bridal Boutique is a must see. Located in the heart of adorable downtown Los Gatos, this shop is the place to go for funky finds and rockin vintage accessories. Oh, and don’t forget to try on a dress or two!
