Emily + Meeko {Tiburon}

Emily and Meeko had their beautiful San Francisco bayside wedding in the Old St. Hillarys Church on a Tiburon hilltop. Emily is a graphic designer, owns an Etsy shop called Frenchie & Flea and because of her profuse skills everything about her wedding had her talent laden fingerprints all over it. One of her bridesmaids hand made all of the hairpieces and also has a Etsy shop called Untamed Petals. Working with the bridesmaids felt like an Anthropology catalogue photo shoot. 

Basically it was an out-of-control day filled with love and beauty. I took gobs of pictures and I want to show you all of them, but you will have to settle with just some of my favorites. ;)























My friend Josh brought the video-madness! Check it his full post at The Rain Studios Blog.

Rain Studios {The Wedding Standard}

Josh Morris of Rain Studios is one of the few wedding videographers I know with a BA in Film Production. One look at his work and it is obvious that this guy has not only the creativity but the skills to back it up. His wedding trailers make you feel like you are previewing an upcoming movie. Like a real movie. Enjoy his fun answers to my questions both great and random, grab a bag of popcorn and watch a breathtaking trailer he has recently created.

Steve + Adriana {San Luis Obispo}

This was by far the BIGGEST wedding I have ever attended and/or photographed! They had over 600 guests; it was just crazy-sauce! Throwing this kind of party was no easy task. Adriana had a big vision for her dream wedding and both Steve and their amazing coordinator Patrice delivered.

The wedding was at a Catholic church in Pismo Beach and the reception at the Madonna Inn Expo Center. It was as if Patrice magically transformed the huge warehouse into a ball room fit for a fairy tale! Steve and his crew hung a huge chandelier in the center of the dance floor and there were several lounges set up around the perimeter of the room. Usually when a wedding this big goes down, so does a lot of stress and drama. It’s no easy task planning the party of your lifetime for 600 of your friends and family! I must say that through it all Steve and Adriana kept their love and adoration for each other at the center of all that they did. They were a pleasure to photograph and celebrate with the whole day through!







A shot my assistant got of me. Sometimes I risk my life for photography. ;)




I’m a sucker for mariachi!

Derek + Katie {Nipomo}

Derek + Katie are straight up rock stars to the core. They are one of the first to have a wedding at the new stunningly beautiful Monarch Club in Nipomo. It had such a classy modern feel with intimate undertones. Derek and Katie are such genuinely awesome people that I feel like I really should have been BFF with these guys since high school or something. They are my kind of people.













Thanks to Sarah Angelique for coordinating it all and being awesome to work with!
