Natasha + Ray = Preview Part One

December 20, 2009 – 12:28 pm

As the year draws to a close there are some reworks in process. Changes that will make everything go smoother, quicker, easier. These are all good things! Hence this two part preview, to be followed shortly by the full preview along with slideshow. Upside? More photos! I heart photos. I spent way too much time editing these photos today. I meant to be quick, I meant to be a processing machine, but then I was stopped by all of the loveliness and before I knew it hours had passed. Sigh.

Natasha and Ray exchanged vows at the Palm Event Center in Pleasanton surrounded by family and friends. It was a lovely ceremony with tea light and dimly lit chandeliers. Natasha did a beautiful job designing and planning their decor, right down to the invites and signs used at the reception. I hope my photographs live up to their memories. More to come!

Andy + Rachel = Engaged!

December 19, 2009 – 3:58 pm

Winter engagement sessions are so much fun, a bit different, and a tad unpredictable. The day we set out for this session the clouds covered the sky and a few times sprinkled us with raindrops. Rachel was such a trooper, and braved the cold in her beautiful dress and amazing high heels, Andy obliged by helping her change her earrings and carrying her through a field. Next year these two will be my first wedding of 2010, along with my first wedding in the snow. We’re set to do a super fun day after session, and so, yes. I’m excited. Hope you love the images!

Sarah + Dave = Preview Part One!

December 16, 2009 – 10:24 am

I’m working on Sarah and Dave’s preview, and there is just so much to share that it’s going to be broken up into two posts. They were married at The Carneros Inn in Napa in a beautiful outdoor ceremony filled with close friends and family. And because I’m going to break this up into two posts I’m going to post an insane amount of photos (because I can) and tell a story using these images (also because I can). What can I say? I’m evil and self-indulgent.

Sarah and Dave were married in the Apple Orchard, and so when I saw this bowl on their nightstand I just couldn’t resist.

I love how Sarah sister watched her getting ready. I know that one day this will be when my own sister gets married.

Photos of Dave getting ready were taken by my lovely assistant Michelle.

Dave looks so happy in this image as Sarah pins his boutonniere.

This gentleman was playing guitar as guests began arriving for the ceremony.

Darker than expected, the evening provided romantic ambience to their ceremony.

Sarah’s father preformed the ceremony.

I love this image of Sarah dancing with her father.

Stay tuned for part 2!

Amanda’s Family Session

December 6, 2009 – 10:32 pm

I met up with Chris and Amanda to take some photos of their family in Santa Cruz, and oh my, they make super cute babies. Could they get any cuter? But that’s not the absolute best part. The best part was how happy they were. Check out how calm and laid back their little man looks in these images! I wish I could tell you which of these photos is my favorite, but every time I look at them I just can’t decide. One thing I can tell you that I’m sure of is how happy this family seemed to be. Just watching the slideshow makes me smile. Want to know something that caught my eye and made me laugh out loud? In one of the images of Davey you can see his mommy reflected in his eyes. Please enjoy!
