Caroline and Spencer flew up for the day (from LA) to do a site visit at their venue and to frolic through the redwood forest in Guerneville with me. I felt so happy to have finally met them in person and to get to know them a bit in front of my camera. They are hilarious and goofy and really showed up for me and their session. The redwoods can always be a little tricky to photograph in, but we really knocked it out of the park with these guys ..read more

Cassius and Chelsea got married on a hot July afternoon in Lake Tahoe on the beach of Meek’s Bay Resort surrounded by not only their family and friends, but also by everyone else on the very crowded public beach. It was such a sight to see! The girls got ready for the day in a cabin up the road and the dudes got ready at the resort cabin. They swam and drank and shared in typical dude debauchery ;) Come time for the ceremony, it was HOT and we were all stoked to get the show on the road and get the party started. Cocktail hour and portraits were a breeze in a little forest area and during the ..read more

Christmas is here, but before it arrived, I was busy photographing a wedding at the best Christmas Tree Farm in Sonoma County (I may be biased, but whatever). Alli’s family runs the Frosty Mountain Christmas Tree Farm in Sebastopol and honestly, I’m not sure I’ve met kinder people. We partied all day and danced all night. It truly was such an incredible feat to turn their Christmas barn into a gorgeous wedding reception, but they NAILED IT. Check out the photos below! The amazing team for the day: Coordinator: Katelynn Jessen Events Catering: Elaine Bell Hair + MUA: Lauren at St James Salon Fl ..read more

Angela has been following me on Instagram for a hot minute. When she finally reached out to me about her wedding I was stoked beyond belief. Learning about her and Robert was a joy - these are GOOD PEOPLE. When she told me they were getting married on a Hornblower on the bay I was a little hesitant. I don’t do well on boats! However, when the day came, I popped some Dramamine and hoped for the best! It was amazing! The ocean was rough as hell, but overall the experience was incredible. We didn’t get a stitch of fog or a single cloud in the sky. It was one of the most beautiful nights I’ve see ..read more

July 7th was a glorious day for a wedding. David and Alina brought their family and friends together to celebrate their love at The Highlands Estate in Cloverdale and it did not disappoint. From the first look under the oak tree, to the ceremony on the lawn, followed by a cocktail hour and sunset photos in the vineyards, it was wonderful. I’d be doing this wedding an injustice, however, by not mentioning David’s mom. She gave the most incredible toast I have EVER heard in my 5 years of photographing weddings. After 100+ weddings, I feel like I’ve heard it all, but then David’s mom took the mi ..read more
