I’m so glad I got to photograph Gemma and Martin’s wedding since I know her sister from our college newspaper days at the UCLA Daily Bruin. I feel like a family friend at most of the weddings I photograph and this time I really was one. The intimate wedding was at a beautiful family home nestled in the hills overlooking San Mateo.

Gemma’s almost ready:

I jumped at the chance to work with Cate Corbitt when she was looking for a second photographer recently and I’m glad I did. One of the best reasons to work with another photographer is the perspective that comes along with watching someone do what they love and in their own fashion. Cate has an amazing way of putting people at ease, for example, and watching her make beautiful portraits in and around Marin Headlands Center for the Arts was inspiring.

I recently photographed Christine and Micah’s wedding at their family’s ranch in Salinas. It was so fun and relaxed that I felt like I was spending quality time with old friends while taking pictures. Christine and Micah are super sweet and have a ton of love for their friends and family.

I photographed Katie and Matt’s wedding at Wente Vineyards last month. What a beautiful spot tucked away in the Livermore Valley. It was a perfect day for an outdoor wedding and reception.
