Emmanuel & Anna | She Said Yes!!! | Battery Spencer, Marin

January 29, 2014

On a perfectly sunny Tuesday afternoon, Emmanuel took Anna to the view of the bridge they look at on a poster over their bed back home, in France.  Did I mention that he surprised her with a week long trip to San Francisco, so he could propose her at this very place? So romantic right?!?  Well sorry ladies, she said yes, so he’s officially off the market!

After weeks of planning the surprise vacation, the dinners and of course coordinating the proposal time and location with me, the day was finally here and from my position up the hill from them,  I could see that he was nervous and yet simultaneously calm and steady.  He bent down on one knee, looked up into Anna’s eyes, asked her to be his wife and she said YES!

Congratulations and thank you for allowing me to share this beautiful experience with you!

Fab Fridays | Thank you for another AMAZING year!!!

January 4, 2014

It has been amazing year full of new and exciting adventures, new fabulous clients and of course the clients who have been by my side for years. Here is a little recap (of course it’s long and of course I wanted to add a million more images but there is just never enough time and space!). After a year this fantastic I can’t even begin to image what 2014 will bring, but I can’t wait!
Thank you for making my dreams come true while I navigate the crazy journey of making my passion my full time work. You all amaze me and I love you for it

David & Charmin’s Fabulous Fall Wedding | La Mirada | Monterey

October 31, 2013

When Charmin explained her venue and even when we checked out pictures online, I  never could’ve imagined that it would be as fabulous as it was and such a perfect fit for these two.  Although it’s clear from the all the love and joy that surrounded their fabulous wedding day that they could’ve gotten married in a parking lot and it still would’ve have been perfect because for Charmin and David the love they have for each other is what’s important. Not only that, but they have so much family and so many amazing friends who love them that their day never felt stressful once…just happy excitement

The visual experience that Matt and I had wondering through the museum was only exceeded when Mel took us upstairs  to the “old house” which has been preserved for years and only open to us and the couple for our very own private shoot…see the first image below…WOW!

I am so happy for these two live music loving, swing dancing, madly in love newly weds and can’t wait to hear about all the adventures they are to embark on together on this crazy journey we call life.

Congratulations!!!

A huge thank you to Matt Gillooey for taking amazing photos with me!
