I’m just starting my wedding portfolio, and Katy and Nolan were one of my first clients willing to take a chance on a a newcomer. Thank you for that!
We had their engagement session last Sunday. At first I suggested an urban shoot, but Katy suggested something a little more rustic to match their personalities, so I went with it and I’m so glad we did.
Katy once told my wife that their first date was spent swinging on swings at a local park. I thought this picture was very appropriate.
Shooting with them was like shooting with old friends.
And this last shot is a tribute to my wife, who insists I get jumping shots. Does it remind you of one of my previous pictures? Hmmm… So unplanned.
Got to work with Belle and Clint this weekend, up in Monterey CA. I was surprised at how smoky the sky was that day (from all the surrounding fires). We managed to have a wonderful shoot. Belle has the prettiest smile, and Clint has this infectious personality. Can’t help but love them!
We had one of our Short and Sweet weddings (3 hours) last Sunday for a lovely couple, John and Molly. Our services were a gift to them from a close friend. What a sweet, and thoughtful gift.
Hats, hats, and more hats! Loved it. The coziness of the ceremony, mixed in with the beauty of the surroundings made for such a sweet wedding.
Molly was such a lovely, and playful bride. I just wish I had more time with her! I never knew three hours could fly by so fast (squeezing 15 minute formals here and there).
Just a note to my future couples, it’s good to have at least 45-60 minutes set aside for formals. The time is so worth it! I understand that this isn’t possible with the shorter weddings, so I try to squeeze everything into 15-20 minute increments. 
I had to drop off my wife at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose for a Stagette that she was hosting for her BFF. I got to take some quick pics, before leaving. Boy, to be a fly on the wall for that party!
Took a stroll through downtown this weekend, trying to find ideal spots for some e-sessions we have lined up. Also got a chance to pick up a Father’s Day cake for, well, ME!
