Diane and Eric Married at Holy Cross!

Diane and Eric had a beautiful wedding at Holy Cross Church in Linden. After the formal photos we had a chance to stop at a relative’s ranch and take photos in the cherry orchards, which were in full bloom. It was a perfect day and you could just feel the happiness coming from this happy couple. The reception was held at Lockeford Springs Golf…

Snow White Engagement Session!

Our plan was to head to the mountains with our snowboarding gear, get some photos and then play for the rest of the day. But plans are meant to be broken. As it turned out we all had something going on back home mid afternoon so instead of cancelling all together, we decided just to make it a photo shoot in the snow. And…

Viaggio Weddings!

I’m really looking forward to my weddings at Viaggio Estate and Winery this season. I’ve been shooting lots of engagement sessions as well and Jennifer and Burak wanted to take their engagement photos on the property earlier this month. We had a great time and they were fun to work with. I love it when they come up with fun ideas…here’s one of my…

Masquerade Reception at the Culinary Institute at Greystone

I knew I was in for some fun when Jenna and Vince told me that their wedding was on Halloween.  I was overjoyed when the news came that their venue was the Culinary Institute at Greystone in the heart of Napa Valley. The ceremony took place outside on the Herb Terrace with the massive walls of the historic building as their backdrop and two…

Riviera Maya Brides

This past fall I had the opportunity to work with some amazing people in the Yucatan.  As part of  conference called “Love Mexico”  I went as a photographer and member of AFWPI (Association for Wedding Professionals International). The conference was to educate wedding planners and other professionals about the area and to visit some of the beautiful venues in the Riviera Maya region just…

Viaggio Wedding – Zillian!

Jillian and Zachary’s wedding at Viaggio was pretty much incredible!  The food, flowers, the band, the wine…all were just fantastic.  Jill’s mom and step-dad hired 2 stilters (8-feet tall) who came in full costume and threw flower petals as the couple exited their ceremony and climbed up the steps toward the mansion at Viaggio. They added another dimension to the day.   Here are some…

Viaggio Wedding! Lauren and David

I LOVE photographing weddings at Viaggio Winery (www.viaggiowinery.com)!  And Lauren and David’s wedding was just gorgeous! They chose to see each other before the ceremony, so we set up a nice shady place for their ‘first look’.  It was really neat to see David’s reaction to Lauren in her dress.  She was BEAUTIFUL!  Here are some of my favorite images of the day.  …

San Francisco Engagement Session

I really had a blast working with Marisa and Justin and we all realized that flexibility is very important! It was supposed to be warm and sunny in San Francisco, but when we got to Baker Beach, the fog had rolled in and we could just barely make out the bridge. We made the best of it anyways,  and played around in some unexpected…
