If you’ve been researching wedding photography lately, you’ve probably seen the words film wedding photographer floating around everywhere. And maybe you’ve wondered… wait, isn’t that just a filter? Not quite. As a California wedding photographer, I get this question all the time. So let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense. First […]

The fog was practically another guest at Kelsey + Alex’s Switzer Farm wedding. And we LOVED having it there 😍 This is why I love the Mendocino Coast so much. One minute you’re looking at the ocean, the next the whole coastline disappears into this gorgeous mist. And these two just leaned right into it. […]

There are wedding guests, and then there are VERY IMPORTANT wedding guests. For Caitlin and Alex, that was Sadie 😂 Their golden retriever came along for their Bend, Oregon proposal, so obviously she needed to be there for their Cavallo Point wedding too. Add perfect fall weather and the Golden Gate Bridge behind them, and […]

Megan and Casey’s summer wedding at Hans Fahden Vineyards was full Art Deco, with a little Great Gatsby, a candlelit wine cave, gorgeous gardens and a VERY committed Gangnam Style performance 😂 “As a couple, we absolutely love everything Art Deco, so we knew we wanted our general vibe to be very Great Gatsby/Art Deco […]

Carlie and Aaron knew exactly how they wanted their Harper’s Rest Winery wedding to feel… “We wanted it to be a party. We wanted the guests to come away saying they had a fun experience, not ‘it was a lovely or nice wedding.’ French Garden party was the aesthetic inspiration, but we also wanted there […]

Elle and Justin’s engagement session at Calafia Beach felt VERY them. They’re both surfers, they love being outside, and the beach has been part of their relationship since the very beginning. So naturally, we had to end this one completely soaked.     These two actually met while working together as dentists and quickly realized […]

Caitlyn and Matt had one big priority for their Carneros Resort wedding: FUN. They wanted to spend the day surrounded by their favorite people, eat an amazing dinner, pack the dance floor and actually enjoy every second of it. And that is pretty much exactly what happened.     Yes, there were tambourines. All day. […]

Awww Jocelyn & Nathan are SOOO cute! We had such a fun time with them, and we’re so glad they chose Gray Whale since it’s a place that’s really meaningful to their relationship. They spend a lot of time there, so they knew the area well, which made exploring the location really easy. They actually arrived a little […]

Jenn and Jesse wanted their San Francisco Chinatown engagement photos to feel more like a Hong Kong pre-wedding shoot than a traditional engagement session. The reference was very In the Mood for Love (IKYKY), with Wong Kar Wai’s cinematic mix of romance, color, movement, and a little bit of grit. This was easily one of […]

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 […]
