This modern burgundy wedding at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, California was the perfect mix of playful, personal, and completely unique to the Bay Area. As one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Oakland (and literally 5 minutes from my house), Chabot gave guests the chance to explore science exhibits during cocktail […]

Ciera and Sam had a literal storybook wedding at Mission Ranch in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Even the location sounds like a place teeming with charming cottages and cobblestone alleyways with cute wooden signs. And guess what? Carmel is EXACTLY like that! My favorite part was the nod to her librarian career and love of books! 📚 […]

Black and white elopement announcements in a grid pattern with an open roll of film that looks like a ribbon

The Walt Disney Family Museum inspired this styled elopement with the transition from black and white line drawings and film to full color animation. 🖤🌈 I had a lot of fun with this concept since it’s so different from anything I’ve photographed before! I even decided to style multiple different elopement announcements and details in […]

I always have the BEST time working with other creative and color-loving souls, so when Kim from KLO events (who designed this killer purple and orange disco wedding) asked me to photograph a styled editorial wedding with her, I jumped at the chance! I got to explore a beautiful venue in Menlo Park with a […]

Caroline and Avi are both in creative fields (she’s an artist and engineer and he’s a game designer), so when planning their wedding they wanted to include lots of DIY and artistic elements along with a game experience for their guests! And oh my goodness what an experience it was! From her blue and white […]

Creative Jewish Wedding at The Gardens at Heather Farm in Walnut Creek, California

Gotta love a Sunday morning spent at a great location with good people. The vibe of Travis and Kerry’s wedding day was an elevated picnic complete with a morning ceremony in the redwoods, killer outfits, food trucks for lunch, blue gingham tablecloths, books as decor (and meaningful gifts), pie for dessert, and karaoke to end […]
