I recently experienced the joy that was my own wedding day. Nothing compares to it! I was inspired beyond my imagination by the love that surrounded us that day. It's a feeling so great, it's almost unexplainable.

To capture that love, and feel it again and again through my clients is a gift. My heart is full. It is such a blessing to wake up to a job that I love so much. Life is sweeter because of it :)

I love working with couples who are full of love for each other. Couples who enjoy, and care about photographs as much as I do. Couples who laugh, jump, and are excited. Couples who are easy going, and laid back. Bride and groomzillas not allowed.

If you are the bride and groom for me, let's take a big bite out of this sweet life. Together!

Margot

Posted in Portraits

I heard her say she was a freshman at San Francisco State. It was my very first day attending the ward. I knew no one, and I too, were at freshman at SF State. So I did what any girl needing a new friend would…I went to the bathroom. And inside, stood Margot and I immediately sparked a conversation with her. We have been friends ever since.

Margot is up here for a week spending sometime with Chris and I. She is one of my bridesmaids for the wedding, but lives in LA so we are SO glad she is up here for a little bit with us. If anyone is as excited about me getting married. Like I mean, SUPER excited…It’s Margot. We used to sit in front of our computers and watch wedding videos and cry. Buy wedding magazines and plan our weddings before we even had boyfriends. She just gets me and I’m thankful for that.

I told my sister last week that I wanted to do a portrait session of each of my bridesmaids. And well…here is my beautiful friend Margot! Yesterday was overcast and all sorts of lovely up on our rooftop! Soft light is my favorite! Love you Booh!

On a side note…Katie & AJ’s Backyard Wedding is featured on the lovely Forget Me Knot Weddings Blog today and it’s pretty exciting! Thanks Megan!
