Julie & Christina | Roller Skating Engagement | Golden Gate Park

July 17, 2014

Julie and Christina met at roller derby and bonded over laughter, whiskey, and some sweet skates!

I basically had to lift my jaw off the floor when they contacted me and said “Our idea is to have some on-site photos at Golden Gate Park. Roller skates will be involved, too.” But can you blame me?  Two beautiful, sassy, hilarious women in love on roller skates = amazing.

When I arrived at Golden Gate Park, Christina was cruising by on her skates, smiling with Julie close behind. I knew instantly that we were going to have a blast, which of course we did!

During the shoot, Julie and I found our fun torturing Christina with mushy moments and snuggly photo ops. It was priceless to watch her squirm and “pretend” she didn’t like it. By the look in their eyes, no onlooker could deny the love between these two. Their matching smiles lit up the park!

I can’t wait for our next big adventure next coming Fall when these two crazy kids get hitched!

Congratulations love birds!

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.

Congratulations Kerry & Karen | Gorgeous City Hall Elopement | San Francisco

May 28, 2014

Congratulations to Karen and Kerry!

I am so excited to share this awesome couple’s silly, romantic, loving elopement. Karen and Kerry currently reside in heavenly Hawaii, which is why I am honored that I was able to take this journey with them. Hawaii followed them to San Francisco on this special day and the weather in San Francisco was in perfect form for their elopement celebration and their weekend of love.

Throughout the day Karen, Kerry, and I had a blast running around playing in every beautiful corner of San Francisco’s City Hall, inside and out. From the Bacon Bacon food truck, the security guard, to the stunning fourth floor with gorgeous windows, we made the best of every moment.

Karen and Kerry,

Cheers to your new marriage and enjoy your romantic honeymoon in France! Thank you!
