Wedding at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga

Kai and Sara were married in April at The Mountain Winery located in Saratoga, CA. What a spectacular venue! The panoramic views from the top of the mountain are awesome!

The Wild Geranium did a wonderful job on all the floral arrangements.

The girls were a bit chilly as the wind picked up toward the evening. However, there was one very savvy bridesmaid who wore tights under her dress to chase away the chill!

The little flower girls were all so cute and a bit shy. So I had fun trying to draw them out for pictures!

I love this old building!!

Kai and Sara had their own beer brewed and labeled just for the wedding!

We had the winery van drive us around to a few different locations for some fun pictures!


The cake made by Margeret's French Bakery was super fresh and moist!


Two very sleepy flower girls!

Congrats Kai and Sara!

Family and Newborn Photo Session in San Jose

I photographed the Ward family a couple weeks ago at their home in San Jose.



We had way too much fun dressing her up in little outfits!

Wedding at Dolce Salon in Peoria, AZ

James and Jill were the winners of my Love Story Contest. I photographed their wedding in February at Dolce Salon and Spa in Peoria. Not only did I get to photograph a totally cute couple but at a really neat location!

Dolce is a small venue that is located above their salon. They have the funnest wallpapers in the bridal room! They also have fabulous chandeliers sprinkled through out the venue.

James and Jill kept their wedding very simple but yet elegant. They concentrated on a relaxed evening of celebration with friends and family.

Who doesn't like hot fudge! What a great favor idea!


First Glance moments are so much fun to watch.

The wall paper in the "getting ready room" is just super fun! The side terrace also made for a romantic little spot for some great image opportunities!

Jill and her makeup artist friend Krysten lighten the mood just before the ceremony and my favorite ring shot.

Ceremony Time!

I love the fun little chandeliers! The relaxed mood of the evening always makes for some great images.
