Alaina + Ryan's Carmel Valley Wedding

Alaina and Ryan’s wedding day was a gorgeous warm day in September. The couple mixed their day with the warmth of family and the beauty that Carmel brings in fall. The ceremony was set at the Groom’s parents home, overlooking Carmel Valley. Their reception immediatley followed at the adorable local favorite Corkscrew Cafe. I loved every part of this beautiful wedding day and couple!

Venue: Family Home, Corkscrew Cafe

Jenn + Andrew's City Engagement Session

Jenn + Andrew chose to do their engagement photos in and around their Mission District home in San Francisco, and we ended our day at Sutro Heights Park where Andrew popped the question earlier this year. These two are so comfortable and downright cute together, that you'll just have to look for yourself! 

Jenn + Andrew are getting married in the northern California coastal town of Gualala this next September, and I can't wait to be there to capture their big day!

Colleen + Robert's Neighborhood and Coastal Engagement

Colleen and Robert's engagement session in San Francisco was a beautiful example of the different landscapes you can find in this incredible city! We started our day in the quaint and colorful neighborhood of Cow Hollow that was bursting with blooming bougainvillea, and ended on the golden, rocky coastline of the Sutro Baths in the Outer Richmond. 

These two are so in love, and it is so evident in these photos. Enjoy!

Danielle Poff Workshop

I had the amazing opportunity to attend Danielle Poff's spring intimate workshop this April, and let me tell you - it was beautiful! Danielle's workshop is not only amazingly beautiful, it is jam packed with business tools and advice for wedding photographers. I was so happy to have spent the day with 10 amazing women, and learning the ropes from a pro like Danielle! 

Big thank you to all of the vendors that made this day magical! Info below.
