Napa & Sausalito Wedding Photography | Nicole & Matt

I was completely taken by surprise one day when Nicole contacted me from Saudi Arabia and asked me to photograph their wedding.
We worked together completely by email as Nicole and Matt are living and working in the Middle East. As stressful as it could be planning a wedding from halfway across the world, she pulled it off effortlessly, and a lovely setting took place in Napa where she grew up.
We ventured to Sausalito for the reception where the fog settled peacefully over the mountains like a mushroom. It was serene over the glittering waters of the Bay.

Congratulations Matt & Nicole!

Napa Valley Center for Spiritual Living Wedding | Amanda & Donovan

It was a party all day long at Amanda & Donovan's wedding, AND another Blueberry first... An incident I like to refer to as the wedding police. Yes, handcuffs were involved. No, it's not what you're thinking, but way cooler. Mr. Policeman came out to investigate the couple that was illegally trespassing on the train tracks and when he discovered it was just us taking wedding pictures, he actually let Donovan handcuff Amanda. Sweet.

Amanda & Donovan are some of the coolest folks I've ever worked with. He's an amazing tattoo artist and Amanda's his muse. You might remember their amazing Mission Street engagement shoot we posted about last month... Well this one was twice as nice.

We spent the day together in Napa at the Center for Spiritual Living. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception, and uniquely Amanda & Donovan. Amanda literally tattooed her love on Donovan in front of us all (another Blueberry first) and there was breakdancing and sparklers... And as if it were tattooed on my own arm, it was a day I will never forget!

Napa Valley Wedding | Harmuni & Geno

I felt so incredibly fortunate to have been asked to photograph Harumi & Geno's wedding last Fall on a private estate in Napa Valley. For me, their wedding goes down as one of the most touching and memorable events I've ever had the pleasure of shooting. It's like one of life's special moments that one just can't describe... There was so much emotion hanging in the air. It was a small and intimate affair with just 40 people present, and Geno's tears moved me to tears too!













And last, but not least, the most perfect silhouette of the evening...
