Wedding Images at Stanford - Part 1

My friend Carol got married in January. I shot their wedding as my gift to them which was super fun since Carol is such a great model! I only have half the wedding edited (I've been busy working on a few other things) but thought I should post some of the fabulous pictures we took at Stanford.

Robert and Carol met on a tour bus in Greece. It's a very sweet and romantic story that I started following when Carol returned from her trip abroad about a year and half ago.
His family flew over from London for the wedding which was on a freezing cold, but rain free day in January. I felt so mean every time I had to ask Carol to part with her coat so we could get some more images. It was so cold that day but her dress had to be shown off!

We met the groom and his family at Stanford so that if it did rain we could use the covered outdoor corridors to shoot the family images.

Here are some of my favorites.

Glendale, AZ Family Portrait Session

I photographed a family session at Saguaro Park with James, Jill and Riley the day before James and Jill's wedding. If you have been following my blog you will recall that they were the winners of the Wedding Story contest.

Jill and I spoke over the phone a few times but had not yet met in person. So a family session the day before the wedding was the perfect opportunity to interact with the entire family before their big day.

I absolutely love the old buildings and tractors spread through out the park!

I was shocked to find this small vineyards in Glendale, Arizona!

Wedding images will be post soon!

Wedding at 1 Fort Mason in San Francisco

I photographed Cicely and Adam's wedding in February at 1 Fort Mason. The fort was previously an officer's club but was originally a residence when it was first built in the 1800's.

It was rainy and chilly on their wedding day but they braved the cold so we could capture some fabulous door images.

Below left Cicely with her adorable little nephew.

The ceremony was presided over by the same minister that married Cicely's parents.

I love the chandeliers and the tall windows that allow the natural light to stream in.

An Affair to Remember did a fabulous job catering the event. Their staff was very attentive and personable.

Congrats to Cicely and Adam!

Visiting Family in Arizona

My sisters kids are so cute! Maybe I'm particularly found of them because they are my nephews and niece, but I still think they are adorable even when they are having bad days.

We took all four of them to the park for about 20 minutes just before sunset. It was difficult to keep the little one out of the water. And even more difficult to capture all their attention at once. Included are a few images from the day before also.

These photo booths are so fun! Here are the rest of the goofy images some friends and I took.

I think having one of these in my living room would be super fun!

Maternity Session at Vasona and in The Studio

Last year I photographed Chris and Kristina's wedding. This year I was delighted when Chris contacted me to shoot a maternity session for them. They live all the way in Tracy, but gladly drove over to my home studio to shoot the session. After some studio shots we drove over to Vasona Park to photograph outdoor images. There we included their little dog in some of the growing family's photographs.


Kristina gave birth to Alexandria a few days later! Congrats!
