Jiajia and Kevin’s wedding day felt instantly comfortable. Their wedding at Tivoli Italian Villa was wrapped up in a cozy, candlelit atmosphere that felt more like an intimate backyard dinner party than a traditional wedding. Maybe it was the way they were completely present with each other….or maybe it was the candlelit dinner setup tucked […]

So… Brianna and Lucas might actually be the definition of Invisible String Theory. Their whole relationship feels like one giant “WAIT, WHAT?!” moment after another. These two met four years ago at a wedding at Casa Bella in Sunol, where Brianna’s cousin was marrying Lucas’ best friend. Lucas was a groomsman, Brianna was there celebrating […]

If I had to describe Joey and Cierra’s wedding in one word, it would be whimsical. They took over Mohi Ranch last fall and turned it into the ultimate celebration of their “goofy” energy.

There are weddings that are beautiful, and then there are weddings that feel like you’ve stepped into an entirely different world… Alyssa and Nick’s day at the Bacara in Santa Barbara was the latter.

We know SSS Ranch well. It’s one of those venues that rewards a documentary approach, wide oak trees, golden fields, open-air ceremony […]

Christina and Shayan’s Brindare Napa wedding last fall felt like a deep exhale. From the moment the day began, everything moved with intention, warmth, and ease. Their priority was presence, with their people, with each other, with every fleeting moment, and that choice shaped the entire experience. High vibes, zero rush, and a couple who […]
