Okay, so I pretty much couldn’t stop laughing the entire wedding with Tim and Kathryn, they are the funniest people ever! I love their relationship, they just don’t take anything too seriously and have such a good time wherever they go. Canada meets Australia and it’s all good!
We started the day at a private residence in the Marina with Kathryn and Chris headed over to Parc55 hotel to shoot Tim and the guys. The ladies were running a little late but we made it up to Saint Dominic’s Cathedral in time for a beautiful ceremony. Some may remember the last wedding I photographed at St Dominics that was also a ton of fun! We then headed over to The Palace of Fine Arts where there was massive construction but we still rocked it and had a great time. Then it was up to the elegant Hamlin Mansion for dinner, dancing and good times.

Chris Stewart 2nd shot for me this day and really was on his game; check out the below EPIC shot from just before the ceremony! Nice work Chris!

Had a great time shooting Ryan and Janet’s Napa Valley wedding at the beautiful Solage Calistoga Resort! It was my first time shooting a wedding at Solage Calistoga as it’s a relatively new venue. I always enjoy shooting at new venues and I have to say that it was really gorgeous! Lots of beautiful locations and great light, gotta love shooting in the wine country.


Awesome shoe shot Chris! Thanks for the help.


Awesome time shooting Rosemary and Ravi’s wedding up in Petaluma on the 4th!

Mike and Amanda’s wedding was so much fun! I met up with Amanda and her wonderful ladies the morning of the wedding at La Bellasera in Paso Robles to shoot details and getting ready images. The light in the rooms was great for photography, the details were gorgeous and everyone had a great time. We then headed over for the wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch which was a bit windy early on but the light was great. There was a lot of events packed into the evening so we had to rush through our bride and groom session but I think you’ll agree that Amanda and Mike look amazing and the light was just perfect!

Huge thanks to Ely for the help!
Great job to LaBarbera Sound and Debbie and Ali at Bowman Nichols Events!

Busy month! Funny how every season in this line of work is so different. In the Winter I meet with potential clients, Spring is engagement sessions, Summer and Fall are all about wedding photography. But there’s always these transition times when I’m doing a lot of each! In the past 2 weeks I’ve shot 3 engagement sessions and 4 weddings everywhere from Dolphin Bay Resort in Shell Beach to Mayacama Resort in Santa Rosa (and a lot in between).
This engagement session was with Sean and Sandy, a wonderful couple who’s gorgeous Vintner’s Inn wedding will be later this fall. We decided to mix things up and do a morning shoot so if the light looks like it’s coming from the wrong direction that’s why ;)

Lisa and Rob’s gorgeous Berkeley wedding was just published by a great blog Engaged and Inspired! Love this blog, Allison features some great weddings and photography and has a great sense of style. I’m honored to be featured!

Here’s a couple from my blog post last year but go to Engaged and Inspired to see the full post.
