Marisa and Mike | Saratoga Springs, Ca Wedding

I feel so blessed to be working with so many great couples, so close to home. Sometimes I travel pretty far to shoot weddings, but the last three have been literally down the street! Just a few days ago Marisa and Mike tied the knot at such a beautiful wedding location in the South Bay, called Saratoga Springs in Saratoga, CA. I have been camping at Saratoga Springs before, but this was my first wedding there. Wow, this place rocks! We had perfect lighting, the staff there was really nice and attentive to details. The food was amazing, and the astro turf was dry, whereas if it were sod, it would have been soaking wet still from the rains last week.

Mike is a mechanic and Marisa is a park ranger who specializes in native California plants. These two have a lot of life experience behind them and together these two are going to raise a wonderful family. We got to do a lot of fun photos, including going in a bounce house, taking photos down by the creek with off camera flash, as well as, a lot of bridal party and getting ready photos. All of Marisa and Mike’s friends and family were so cool that I hope I can shoot some of their friends weddings just so we can all hang out and do it again!

In less than one week, we edited the 3,000 photos we shot down to about 1,555 and within one week have everything edited and ready to go. If you would like the link to see all the photos just send me an email. Enjoy some of my favs below!

Phoebe and Chris | Wedding at Villa Montalvo

What an amazing month to shoot at Villa Montalvo twice! Here are my favorite photographs from the wedding of Phoebe and Chris. Thanks to Nichole, the wedding coordinator at Villa Montalvo for being so cool and accommodating! We love taking wedding photos at Villa Montalvo and I live literally down the street! We then headed to ABC Seafood in Milpitas for the reception, where we showed a slide show of wedding photos while guests entered, and also did a same day video edit/engagement video shoot presentation during dinner. We had a great time and look forward to working with Phoebe and Chris again

Julia and Randy | Engagement, San Francisco

What a beautiful shoot with Randy and Julia! We had a blast at these three wonderful locations in San Francisco: Palace of Fine Arts, Chrissy Field, and the Embarcadero. These two have so much fun together and are so in love. They laugh all the time and keep each other always smiling. Julia knows how to work it in front of the camera and Randy is the nicest groom one could ever meet.

I am so excited to work with these two on their wedding day and you can see their wedding photos here.
