This romantic proposal story will melt your heart. When I photographed this Oakland engagement shoot, I had no idea of truly incredible story of how they got engaged. I had been working with Falisha and Jorge to arrange the session and they loved the results. Soon afterward, I thought about getting their engagement photos published […]

Kristine and Joseph opted for the stunning winery Kuleto Estate as the location for their winery engagement photoshoot. The stunning vineyard property is located on the eastern edge of the Napa Valley overlooking Lake Hennessey and the town of Rutherford, and holds a dear place in the couple’s hearts! Hopefully this gives you plenty of […]

This sweet, family-centered City Hall wedding ceremony! So much joy and kid-friendly fun! Darcie and Robert decided to celebrate their tenth anniversary by getting married at City Hall, San Francisco with their cute kids in tow! This was just a few months after their move up from San Diego where they’d previously lived for 5 […]

Jessica and Jericho (or as they are now and forever known, #jessicho), chose the serenity of Muir Woods and Muir Beach for their engagement shoot. The couple have been together for 7 years and counting! Jericho popped the question, on top of a cliff at Pacifica at sunrise, no less, last December. The time just […]

This redwood forest engagement was so special! It was a real blast getting to know this couple, Rosa Isela and Josh.

Stephanie and Minh had been together for a year and a half before tying the knot. […]

This downtown Oakland engagement photoshoot was one of my absolute faves. I couldn’t have been luckier to work with Falisha & Jorge. Their unique story has now, as I edit this content now in late 2019, been heard by hundreds of people. It has been featured on Catalyst Wed Co and reposted dozens of times […]

Check out what my friend and fellow photographer Praise Santos is doing with Ethical Weddings. San Francisco has a huge […]

This LGBTQ+ engagement was such an important one in my career.  William and Shawn were one of the first couples I ever worked with back in 2017 (I’m editing this blog post in almost-2020). I had just arrived in San Francisco from the UK, and did not really know what I was doing, in all […]

This bookstore-themed styled shoot 50’s styled bridal shoot brought together some amazingly talented wedding professionals from the East Bay! It was also an amazingly entertaining and productive shoot and just so much fun to get together and create. Concept of the vintage bookstore theme I first came up with the idea of a bookstore shoot […]
