The Rey Family

October 30, 2009

Boy! It's that time of the year! Lots of family portraits! I've been photographing the Rey family since before their first boy Ethan was born. In fact, he was a pea in the pod when I did Nicole's maternity shoot. Now they have two boys and I continue to shoot their family portrait every year. It's been fun watching the boys grow!

Donovan

October 21, 2009

I had the pleasure of photographing Jennie, Anthony and Donovan a couple of weeks ago. What a sweet family!

Welcome Danny!

October 21, 2009

Rachel and Dan were married just two weeks after my own wedding in June of 2008. Since then, they have moved into a house, gotten two puppies and had little Danny! What stress! BUT, they seem to be doing just fine. Danny isn't quite a newborn anymore, but still a little peanut! It was my pleasure to go to Washington D.C. to photograph their new little love.

The two pups. Not quite puppies anymore, but still a handful! So cute!

CONTEST: Best Meeting Story Ever.....or you tell me a better one.

October 21, 2009

So I had a new business meeting last night with Sarah and Joe. We were chatting and they were looking at work and I asked them how they met. Would you believe they met at a bus stop? No, not a bus stop where they both stood everyday to commute to work. This was completely random! Joe is a pilot and was in Seattle and Sarah was visiting her sister in Seattle and they happened to be at the same bus stop at the same time. How random and what FATE!!!! I loved this story so much that on my way home I thought of offering a 10% discount to the best meeting story posted in the comments section on my blog and then realized that I'm not sure anyone can beat Sarah and Joe. So I offered Sarah and Joe the 10% discount and they booked me today. NOW I still want to hear all the stories, so tell away and the best one told by Wednesday of next week will get 10% off of their wedding photography if they book me! CONGRATULATIONS SARAH AND JOE! XXOO

Sam and Joe!

October 21, 2009

You saw Sam and Joe's e-session, now here is their wedding! I just fell in love with Sam's dress from the second she put it on. It was perfect on her! The wedding was at St. Thomas Aquinas and the reception was at the Garden Court Hotel. Both in Palo Alto. We were lucky enough to have time to do some running around before the ceremony for extra portraits. So much fun! Flowers are by Absolute Elegance and catering by Il Fornaio.

Welcome Henry!

October 19, 2009

Former wedding clients Carrie and Craig had Henry last spring and were waiting for me to take a trip to Chicago to visit my family so that I could do a photo shoot. So glad they live where I grew up and I hope to keep doing their family photos as time goes on! Poor little guy was teething and in pain, but we managed to get a few smiles out of him and some funny other expressions too!

Tiffany and Adam!

October 13, 2009

Oh sweetness! Tiffany and Adam were gorgeous to photograph as well as their adorable daughter Capri. I loved shooting at the new Cavallo Point in Sausalito. Such a nice location and eco-friendly. The food was wonderful! Cavallo Point was an important location for Tiffany and Adam since they could get married with a view of the GG bridge which is where they got engaged! I'm out and about today so I cant tell you yet who did the flowers, but will get back to you on that! Here are some photos. Enjoy!

Their darling daughter, Capri:

Maternity

October 12, 2009

I photographed this couple's wedding this past January and for this shoot they were just at their due date getting ready to welcome their little boy! SO much fun to see them again so soon after the wedding! For privacy purposes, I'm not including many of my favorite, but here are some fun ones!

Logan!

Shawnti and Andrew!

September 25, 2009

I love the Flood Mansion in San Francisco and was so excited to shoot Shawnti and Andrew's wedding at the Flood! Shawnti just cracked me up the whole day. She's into drama and bling and I just LOVED that! AND best of all, she loved being photographed. My pleasure! Sherry Long did her makeup and hair, Flowers were by Flowers By Dallas, Thomas Hughes did the viedo, Knight's Catering was the caterer and Buttercream Studio created the gorgeous cake!

Shawnti wanted to do this shot and I loved it!

I just LOVED this train!

Edie took some shots of the guys before the ceremony:

Shawnti + Flood = Gorgeous!

Christina and J.P.!

September 3, 2009

Christina and J.P. had their reception at a brand new venue! It's called Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park and I just loved their ballroom. How can one not love fabric walls! I also loved the table centerpieces. Very original. The ceremony was at the very lovely Santa Clara Mission and was gorgeous too. OK. So were Christina and J.P.! Wow! Look at how blue their eyes are!!!! Asiel Design was the florist and Rosewood did the catering.

OK. Edie has been taking some awesome groom shots! I looooove this shot of J.P.!

Blahahaahahaha. Crazy dancing!......

Shawnti and Andrew E-Session

August 27, 2009

Shawnti and Andrew's wedding is coming up in a week!!! We were really hoping for some GGB shots, but there's nothing you can do about the SF fog. However, we got some terrific shots at the People's Pier!

I Loooooved Shawnti's shoes! Gorgeous!

Peg and Ted!

August 25, 2009

Congratulations to Peg and Ted! This wedding was special in many ways, but I really loved being able to photograph the wedding of one of our military. They do so much for us and I was happy to do something in return. Plus I loved the military jacket and look at all the medals of honor! The location was at The Palmdale Estates in the east bay.

Jodi and Shane!

July 31, 2009

Gosh. I can't believe how blessed I am that I get to photograph such beauty! Lucky me. Congratulations to Jodi and Shane who were married this month at the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame. Nancy Liu Chin Designs was the florist, Emily Tenner was our coordinator, Carolyn Wong was the baker, Stacey McClure did makeup and Thomas John Events was the caterer. Gorgeous! Thank you Jodi and Shane for choosing such amazing vendors and a great location!

Joanna and Padraic

July 20, 2009

What a pretty outdoor wedding at the Marin Art and Garden Center and Joanna and Padraic were such fun to photograph! The day went incredibly well with everything running smoothly with the efficient Samar of Ribbon & Tie coordinating. Sage Catering does the most incredible food presentation and I really enjoyed photographing their work. The flowers were so bright and gorgeous! They were done by Svenia of Chestnut and Vine. Wendy Walter did the hair and makeup. Thanks to all for such a gorgeous wedding to photograph!

The very talented Edi Fogel helped me out on this wedding and I loved this shot she took of Padraic:

The guests had such fun with Photoboof! :

This was a Ben and Jerry's ice cream cake. Yum!:

Ryan and Gena

July 9, 2009

The Bently Reserve is a GORGEOUS location, but I really haven't seen it look as gorgeous as it did for Ryan and Gena's wedding. I think in part, their chair choice really reflected the style of the room and Classic Party Rentals had the exact chair and also, the lighting was truly wonderful and was done by Impact. Amy Nichols of Amy Nichols Special Events was the coordinator and Floramor the florist. McCalls was the caterer and as always was exceptional. Congratulation Gena and Ryan for a truly gorgeous wedding and many happy years together!
