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!

Around the City

I enjoy going for walks. A lot. I think that’s one of the reasons I love living here in San Francisco. When I do, I bring my 35 mm to snap some photos. Images shot with Kodak portra 400. Here are a few frames from the last few weeks.

Left to Right + one underneath: Our rooftop view. I love sitting up there to look out + gather some thoughts on paper. It’s the best.

Afternoon walk with my hubs around our neighborhood. We ended up in North Beach.

Stopped for a tiramisu at Brioche. Dang my sweet tooth :/

Market St.

Last two: View from the Ferry to Sausalito.

Lannie + Tony: Point Reyes Engagement

Posted in Engagements

Meet Tony and Lannie.

Our meeting lasted about 2 hrs, and we didn’t even realize it. We talked about their wedding, and anything else we loved. When I didn’t hear from them several days later, my heart was sad. No, really. Ask my husband. SO. When Lannie called me to tell me they wanted me to document their day, I was ecstatic! My day was made :)

I love these two a lot. They introduced me to this, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. We spent an afternoon in Point Reyes, and had a blast. I wanted to share just a few today. I really really love these. We were on our way to the beach and pulled over to the side of the road. 1.2.3….SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!

Amazing light. Amazing couple.

BOOM!

L + T. Heart you! <3

Sarah + Andrew: Marin Engagement

Posted in Engagements, Published

Sarah and Andrew <3

I don’t think they noticed the camera much during their entire session. I love that about them. They are incredibly loving with each other, and aren’t afraid to show that. I really love that about them. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with them in Muir woods + headlands.

They are having a small wedding at my favorite venue this June :) I know it’s going to be an amazing day!

Below are my most favorites from their session. The light was INSANE! Oh, lovely light. I adore you!

Thank you Sarah and Andrew for spending one of your few days in Nor-cal with me. Hope you had as much fun as I did! <3
