We’d like to thank Style Me Pretty for featuring this wedding recently!

Karen and Jay had their ultra modern, elegant, and colorful wedding at the wonderful De Young Museum here in Francisco. Both Karen and Jay are incredibly creative and put their touches on their wedding. Jay designed a fun wedding logo for them that was used on all of their wedding invites and programs that Karen artfully designed. They were married in the Sculpture Garden, with a super fun and colorful reception in the De Young Museum Cafe.

This past Christmas Eve, I had the opportunity to photograph Meagan and Paul’s elopement at San Francisco City Hall. When they mentioned that they wanted to bring their scooter, I was thrilled! Congrats to Meagan and Paul!

After a sweet, intimate City Hall wedding surrounded by their families, I took Heidi and Siavash to Coit Tower and North Beach for a fun wedding portrait session. Congrats to Heidi and Siavash, thanks for letting me document your day. :)

A few months ago I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing punk rock wedding tablescape by the fabulous Karin Woodward. From the corseted table cloths and t-shirts, to safety pink details, black martini glasses with skulls, and studded belt napkin holders, Karin completely rocked this tablescape! Too bad I didn’t know Karin when Ray and I were married because we would have loved to have had this at our wedding. Sometimes you just need an antidote to stale and boring wedding decor, and this is the perfect antidote to that.

It’s always nice to get out of San Francisco to shoot an engagement session. I had a great time with Diana and Martin during their session in San Jose’s downtown. We found lots of great murals and colorful locations and hit the San Jose Museum of Art and SJ’s oldest bar and divine divebar, Cinebar. Ray and I are so excited about Diana and Martin’s wedding tomorrow at the Mission Santa Clara and the San Jose City Hall Rotunda!

Part II of Maggie and James’ gorgeous outdoor wedding. The bride did all of the floral arrangements and designed the invitations and guest book herself. The groom made his own handcrafted beers, how awesome is that. Finger puppet favors rule!

Maggie and James had a gorgeous outdoor, rustic DIY wedding at the home of a family friend. The garden and grounds themselves were so unique and different. Maggie did all of the floral arrangements herself, and was inspired by her Dutch heritage and used delft (blue and white porcelain), copper, and blue glass pieces she found in local thrift stores. She designed her invitations, sign-in book, and even made her own cake stands. Maggie looked like a woodland nymph in her Chrissy Wai Ching wedding dress, and simple flowers in her hair. Instead of a ready-made bouquet, as Maggie walked down the aisle, guests presented her with irises so that she ended up with a bouquet when she got to the end of the aisle.

The reception itself was incredibly fun and relaxed, just like Maggie and James. The wedding favors were finger puppets, and the guests had so much fun with them! I’ll share the DIY details tomorrow. :)

You might remember Jeni and Mike from their wonderful wedding at Casa Real earlier this year. A few months after their wedding, we shot their “Day After” session at the Palace of Fine Arts and Kirby Cove.
