Kate and James started off their relationship in fairy tale style (check out their engagement session for the details) and they definitely continued that theme on their wedding day. Their love was evident throughout the day- they cuddled up to each other and held hands at every possible moment.

Thank you Lori and Brian for having me photograph your wedding. It was a total blast.

I love this photo because it pretty much sums the spirit of your wedding day. Brian being goofy, fun and outrageous. And Lori looking sooo glamorous. Enjoy all your photos!

Kate and James had an amazingly elegant wedding. With the ceremony at Temple Emanu-El (the most gorgeous synagogue in San Francisco) and the reception at the Four Seasons (always a winning venue) and views of the city along the way, we couldn’t help but take great images. Add to that, Kate’s killer smile and impeccable fashion sense and James’ deep brown eyes…. Well, let’s just say the whole set up was a winning combination.

Here’s a teaser to get the photo party started. We hope you enjoy!

Everything about this wedding was hot…the bride, the groom, the guests and of course the weather, all 97 degrees HOT. Lori and Brian traveled up from San Francisco to the Calistoga, CA to get married in one of the most beautiful venues around, Hans Fahden Vineyards. They envisioned a fabulous wine country wedding surrounded by the glorious sunny weather the region is known for. And that’s exactly what they got plus a few extra degrees. The folks at Hans Fahden Vineyards were well prepared with cool drinks and parasols which accented the beautiful grounds perfectly. Following the ceremony and cocktails, the couple and their guest retreated to the cool and romantic wine cave for dinner.

Here’s a sneak preview of their wedding photos:

We had an absolutely amazing engagement shoot with Jon and Shosh. Downtown San Jose provided a new arena for us to work in and tons of inspiration. We decided to do a night city session. We wanted to capture the gorgeous early evening light and then the darkness that followed.

Jon and Shosh are full of spunk and clearly completely enamored with each other. They had great ideas so this turned out to be a perfect collaboration. Great city + great colors + great couple=fun!!!!

Wil and Laura are definitively a perfect match. I could see it in the way they looked at each other when we first met them and I could see it all throughout their wedding day, in the way they supported each other and helped each other. They are so, so sweet together.

When Dave said, we have a “Bike Shoot” with Deana and Nick. I thought, “Cool, I have a couple of great ideas for couples and their bicycles.” Then he explained that the bikes he was talking about were European motorcycles. And I thought, “Wow! That’s hot!” And it was. We had an absolute blast playing with Deana and Nick and their bikes.
