Intercontinental Hotel San Francisco Wedding | Tiffany & Clifford

Wedding & Reception

Berkeley City Club Wedding | Lisa & Theo

I’m so excited to share with you some of my favorite images from Lisa and Theo’s wedding at the intimate Berkeley City Club. Everything about the day was classy -- Especially Lisa & Theo. Lisa had the most intriguing bouquet I think I've ever seen! and we had such a blast with the wedding party shooting in the gardens... The City Club is such a hauntingly, gorgeous venue to get married. Designed by Julia Morgan in the 1920's, the architecture, the gardens, the pool room, the ballroom... it was all exquisite. You could feel the history in even the tiniest details. I’ve never shot a wedding in a castle before, but I imagine this is what it might feel like!

Orinda Country Club Wedding | Melissa & Brandon | Orinda

If Jewish tradition likens the couple to a queen and king on their wedding day, then Melissa & Brandon were absolutely golden.

We had a blast shooting their wedding at the Orinda Country Club this past February. All the celebrated customs of their traditional Jewish ceremony created such a meaningful link between everyone who shared a part in their wedding day and a testament to their future. It's days like this that remind me of how much I really love my job.

Would it already be obvious if I told you that the couple were performance artists who met at the theatre? The images we captured turned out so colorful, rich and unique, just like Melissa & Brandon. I kind of feel like I'm looking at a reel from a Wes Anderson film...

Mazel Tov!

Hotel Valencia Santana Row Wedding | Jenie & Ryan | San Jose

I love it when I stumble upon a surprise while on a shoot... like this mural that became a focal point in some of my favorite pictures taken at Jenie & Ryan's wedding last Fall in San Jose's Hotel Valencia. It had this old world quality to it, where suddenly I was experiencing a moment as though we were in a vivid watercolor painting. Enjoy!
