steve and lindsay | santa clara, ca
Steve & Lindsay's candlelit evening ceremony at the Santa Clara Mission was very symbolic because they met on the steps of the Mission during their first year of college. The sun gods were definitely on their side as well, the entire weekend was overflowing with a heavy downpour and then the rain cleared just in time for their wedding.

scott and alicia's wedding | menlo park, ca
For a couple who is not fond of being in front of the camera, Scott and Alicia were one of the most easy going and naturally photographed subjects I have come across. We really hit it off and had so much fun during the photos. Their wedding ceremony was at Nativity Church and reception was at the Menlo Circus Club.
Open fields and views of the skyline mountain range made a great backdrop for the Phipps family portrait. The kids coordinated perfectly in natural earth tone colors, looking so adorable!
Eric and Jo's ceremony was held under the oaks at the Fountaingrove Country Club. They are one of the warmest, charismatic and adoring couples you will ever meet. So many emotions were exchanged. Thank you for inviting me to capture an unforgettable day!
Robert and Erin's draw toward one another was absolutely magnetic from the start. Their connection seems simply unparalleled. The wedding was at the St. Thomas Aquinas Church and a radiant reception full of holiday lights followed at the MacArthur Park Restaurant. I have known Erin since our prep school days. It is hard to believe that over twenty years has passed and Erin has traded in her old school uniform for a breathtaking bridal gown!
The Salisbury family portrait was taken at their home. This is always a reliable setting for portrait locations because kids feel most at ease in their own environment. The Salisbury girls had so much fun doing cartwheels in their yard I am surprised I was able to get them to sit still.
Nick and Jen's said their vows at Nativity Church. Directly after the ceremony they were whisked away in an old classic 1928 Pontiac that was restored by Nick's grandfather. Upon their arrival at the Sharon Heights Country Club, they were warmly greeted by their guests and immediately celebrated in style with an elaborate reception complete with tons of stunning details.

Raised on surfing beach breaks and point breaks at his vacation home in Santa Cruz, the bluffs at Seascape was a idyllic setting for Bobby to say his wedding vows to his bride Sierra. Beautiful weather and a pristine sunset made this wedding picture perfect.

bobby and sierra's engagement | san francisco, ca
Bobby and Sierra's chemistry is so fluid and natural that in several instances during their engagement session they were so absorbed in one another that they forgot they were being photographed... making my job absolutely effortless!
