Esther & Loren

Yes, I am a crazy… I shot a wedding the week before my own! But I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Esther and Loren are so fun to be with and their wedding day was incredible. I’m still finishing up with their wedding, but since I promised Esther they would be posted BEFORE my own wedding (and I’ve already been married a week!), I have decide to post at least a little sneak peek. Esther is such a natural beauty I had so much fun with her all dolled up. And who is to blame for such a perfect face??? (well, beside Esther herself) Maria Chang from PMA! Yep! I got to work with her again and loved every minute of it. I will post all of the wedding details upon my return but also wanted to add that I got to see one of my favorite Floral Designers, Nicole Ha. She did a fabulous job with everything! OK, enough chit chat, here are some faves…

This was such a cute idea!  A Teddy Bear Toss for the little ones!!!

Ryan & Danielle!!!

I know everybody has been waiting to see Ryan & Danielle’s wedding photos! We met last year when they were just getting started on their wedding details for the Presidio’s Golden Gate Club in San Francisco. I had such a blast shooting their engagement photos that I decided to feature their session on my website. Being that Danielle and I were planning our weddings at the same time (2 weeks apart!), we developed a close friendship IMing each other just about everyday. I’ve actually gotten close to the whole family, as I had the opportunity to photograph Danielle’s dad’s Surprise 50th Birthday Celebration last year. Danielle and Ryan are my special little babes and look so good in front of the camera! They even came to my own wedding! So here goes… Beware, there are a ton!

Ryan & Danielle were high school sweethearts and he had given her a promise ring. Their ring designer, Ashley Morgan Designs, took the diamond from her promise ring and put it inside Ryan’s ring…  Such a sweet idea!

Being a USC Alumni, Ryan is a HUGE fan of USC, so Danielle surprised him with the USC Fight Song for their entrance. They are so cute!!!!

Ivy & Matt

I had the honor of photographing our good friend (and one of Scott’s groomsmen) Rhett’s younger sister, Ivy’s wedding labor day weekend. This was my first of two San Francisco weddings for the holiday weekend and what a way to start it off! The Olympic Club was a gorgeous venue, but then again, Ivy and Matt are quite the gorgeous couple too…

Ceremony: St. Thomas the Apostle Church
Reception: The Olympic Club, San Francisco

I love this shot of Ivy’s grandmother, she was having a tough time keeping her emotions in when she walked down the aisle.


















And I love this shot of Rhett & Ivy’s parents…

Presley Jane

Presley is 8 months old and so freaking cute!!!! She LOVES the camera! The minute we set her down, she just hammed it up for the camera! We decided for Presley’s 8 month session that we would take advantage of the awesome weather we have right now and take her to Central Park in San Ramon. Dad took the day off to get some family shots too!

Ellie is 1!

My sweet little princess and probably the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, Elliana is a year old! My good friend and hair stylist for over 10 years, Mandi and her husband Elliott, joined Elliana for a little family shoot to document this special day. Here are a few of my faves from the day!
