Congratulations Martin & Katie!!! | City Hall | San Francisco

August 8, 2014

There is something so special about San Francisco City Hall weddings; from the adorable judges, the intimate guest list, to stunning backdrop. People come from all over the world to tie the knot at our beautiful city hall and I’m honored to have the chance to shoot there as often as I do. Martin and Katie’s sweet celebration was no exception.

Martin and Katie met doing what they love, playing ultimate Frisbee. Martin plays on the reigning men’s national and world champion team, Revolver. It was love at first disc!

On their big day, Katie looked smashing in her classy, short dress by DVF with coral shoes that complimented her whole look.  Katie and Martin tied the knot with their close friends and family as witness. Everyone was in smiles.

After the ceremony the group flocked to Katie and Martin’s good friends Crystal and Geoff’s house in San Francisco. For their special celebration, Crystal cooked an incredible four-course meal!

To top it off, Kristen and Martin had two more celebrations with their families; one with Martin’s family on the Oregon coast and then a celebration with friends at a friend’s house in Glen Ellen, Sonoma. They know how to do it right!

Katie and Martin, I wish you both a life full of happiness, joy, and fond memories. Have a wonderful time on your honeymoon in Italy at Lake Como (where Revolver is competing in the world championships) and GO REVOLVER!

Congratulations lovebirds!

Jen & Ricky | City Hall Elopement | San Francisco

July 15, 2014

Jen and I bonded over our love of cheetah print long before we met. From the first chat to every encounter since, I have loved this precious little family more and more.

Jen & Ricky’s love for each other is sweet and tender with a hint of playfulness. They have a deep love for Halloween and their home is festive and spooky all year round! The bond they share for their adorable baby boy Oliver melts my heart. He is only one and a half years old and full of life, bouncing around with his toothy grin.

For their elopement at San Francisco’s City Hall, Jen showed up with her hair and makeup looking fabulous (done by herself!) and a beautiful DIY dark red and black rose bouquet with supplies from Michaels. She looked beautiful smiling coyly at the camera.

Being at this wedding was a real privilege for me. When the time came to say I Do, I got to be Jen and Ricky’s signing witness! Their family of three is full of love and I was happy to be involved and give my support.

Congratulations Jen and Ricky! I wish you happiness and endless years full of Halloween decorations and cheetah print!

Congratulations Brent & Ryann | City Hall | San Francisco

July 10, 2014

It’s been a very big month for Brent and Ryann. They bought and moved into their first home and got married in the same week!  For most couples, this would be considered pretty stressful, but I’m pretty sure that for these two it was all smooth sailing. You can just feel the love surrounding them.

On their big day, Ryann looked stunning, smiling from ear to ear carrying her DIY sunflower bouquet, which was inspired by the A Practical Wedding blog. Brent, full of happiness in San Francisco’s City Hall, had his attention focused on the bride. I loved watching them interact. The way they look at each other, the secrets he whispers in her ear that never fail to make her laugh, the way he kisses her forehead or reaches for her hand when they are close. They exist in their own romantic little world and it is a thing of beauty!

From the first night they met, at a party in Washington DC where they spent the entire evening and subsequent evening talking, I was told they have been in-separable. It only took me five minutes to see that all of this was true and why they were so close and loving.

Congratulations love birds! With all the excitement you had last month, I can’t wait to see what this month brings your way.
